@@johnwarren7996 - They do. My friend was in the Air Force, and worked at NASA Ames Research Center on Advanced Avionics, Aerodynamics/ Wind Tunnel Testing, and Flight Data Testing/ Human Performance Factors and related Pilot Training fields. He was actually stationed at Moffet Field in the Reserves after active duty which is right next to Ames (same base basically). Another older neighbor (deceased for many years now and an Army WWII Veteran) was the Second in Command at Ames and led Space Missions such as Voyager, and Pioneer interplanetary Missions while at Ames. I remember when I was a kid he took us up in his private plane over the Bay Area and Santa Cruz Mountains, Pacific Coast. He led the Pioneer Mission that became the first aircraft to escape our Solar System. He would take the neighborhood kids up to Lick Observatory also, - the first permanently occupied mountain top observatory in the world. Of course this was in the 1970s/ early 1980s and I'm getting up in years now. But both were fascinated with space and used to talk about the future when humans would be endeavoring into intergalactic travel. Anyway, all military branches are represented by employees of NASA.
I always wanted to become a fighter pilot for either Air Force or Navy because I had such a fascination in the fighter aircraft we had. Once I learned you had to go officer in order to become a pilot that dream died. But I'm here now just about 3 years in and having a pretty good time. wish I could get orders onto a carrier someday.
Same. Top Gun made me wanna become a Super Hornet pilot, then I heard that meant becoming an officer so instead I decided to become a grunt in the Marines
Good luck dude, just graduated, hopefully you enjoy your journey. One piece of advice, become a pawn, just listen and obey, just do as your told no question and it'll fly by but it's not going to be easy
@@jarias7829 I've gotten that from a couple of people, so I bet it really means something lol. Will do, thank you for the advice. See you in the fleet!
Retired here. To add to J Arias' great advice; smile more and talk less (which displays wisdom), and always look like you know exactly what you're doing and what will come next, no matter what you actually think or feel. Confidence will mask your fear and uncertainty.. and those are inevitable human reactions to what you'll be doing... and everyone deals with it in their own way. The wonderful thing about appearing that you have no doubt, is that eventually you won't.
I’ll say I it’s always been my dream to fly with the navy (as if my pfp didn’t already say that) but having a retired naval cdr be my instructor definitely helped out a lot.
Definitely try DCS and join discords, watch videos. DCS has full fidelity, accurate systems based off of all of the declassified information we have access to, and much better flight models than MSFS. The 40 bucks I paid for the f18 has been worth it just due to the amount of content. Definitely buy it when it's on sale though
@@Uncle_Devs So I flew with keyboard for a while and bought a HOTAS for about 100. You can certainly play without a HOTAS but it's a little more difficult. The best way to have fun personally is to find a group of friends to play with you. Also I have dropped 40 bucks on this game, that's right I've bought 1 single aircraft and have poured a few hundred hours into the game already. The f/a-18 has so much content that you can easily fly it for a thousand hours and still not master everything Generally the simpits you see people have with the full real life cockpit is literally only people with expendable budgets and unlimited free time 💀
You have to get a bachelors degree first so that you can commission as an officer in the armed forces. You can just go to college and pay for your own tuition and then go to OCS to commission, or you could go to the Naval Academy or get the NROTC Scholarship to get your tuition paid for and then commission after graduating. Even after you do that though, you aren't guaranteed a pilot slot. It's based on your scores (GPA, Aptitude, PT) and the needs of the Navy at the time.
I am looking to join the Navy by end of 2024 or beginning 2025. I just gotta lose weight first. im a male 24yrs old, 5'5 at 280lbs ( ik ik, im a fat bastard lmao ) but i am working to bring that down to my reqs for joining. Looking to go into Aircrew rate. I have been eyeballing AWR, AO, AWS, AWO and ATC. too many choices to choose from lol. I was looking at becoming a Pilot... then I saw you had to be an Officer.... Which I would love to do, but I think by the time I finish training, on top of doing a 4 year degree, I might be too old.
@@maliksworld8467 ik... I'm just saying and no sometimes knowing the controls and physics of a plane can help you in the future, and why would I say my GPA on a TH-cam comment section 💀
Ask yourself, why would you like to join, don't be like me who picked a career based on fantasy but make sure you know your long term goal and your motivations behind it because it is a long journey regardless and it will at moments force you to ask yourself why your here but besides that, don't be afraid of it like this other guy, I encourage you to because overall there's a lot of benefit to personal growth. Everything is hard but in the navy at least your rewarded equally for your effort. Just know how your going to get there and if your actually considering joining, just find an armed forces office or recruiting station to go to and show up when their open but if your shy like me. Follow local recruiters on social media or call and they will respond promptly, nows a great time because they are eager for new recruits since recruiting is at an all time low so I encourage you to do so as soon as you can IF your truly educated and motivated and I wish you the best of luck too!
I had a son join during the last administration and it took him about 2weeks to get in. I have a son trying to join now under this administration and he's been trying for over a year. I'm retired, so I spoke with someone senior at a recruiting command who said that they're delaying people on purpose to take only those people that are serious about joining. Don't go in lukewarm. Don't get impatient or discouraged... stay on them. If you want to know how valuable service in the Navy can be, I can tell you my experience. I grew up dirt poor and got mediocre grades in high school, and thought I was of maybe less than average intelligence. I got thrown into a job working on some of the most secret and complex equipment in the world after only 8 weeks training (and I was scared to death). Within 2yrs I got an award for being the best at my job on the entire western hemisphere of the world. I got out with a can-do attitude and worked my way into complex data sciences such as machine learning and AI. I make well over 6 figures and I don't have a degree (but I've had people with Masters Degrees working for me). I feel sorry for most of the civilians I work with who aren't veterans because they lack an edge that I now take for granted. If you get in, stay away from the whiners and malcontents. That crap is contagious and it will ruin you. Just concentrate on how cool and unique your job is, and remember that one day when you're a civilian again, you'll wish you could go back... everyone does.

Again focusing on diversity supporting dividing people when they should focus on being a team with out anything to do with skin color or background they are focusing on the wrong thing... what garbage ...
The navy denied my best friend service because of scoliosis, despite him going to boot camp and wasting a month and a half of his time. Almost as disorganized as the Army
The Military don't lie to recruits. Recruits lie about their physical and mental condition that gets revealed later on and gets discharged for lying about their health at MEPS.
@@chrisreyes3126 he was set to be an E6 as an eod tech. They could have screened him beforehand instead of wasting his time after he graduated highschool. The navy is a joke just as much as this jewe'd country.
@@lordderpington8021 you must not have any idea of what you speak of. There are so many screenings performed. One thing the navy is good at it's red tape. If he couldn't get pass all the screenings then it's what's best for our country. Also automatic E6? I don't think that's true at all. Someone's lieing, him or you.
This is the biggest woke garbage ad I've ever seen. If diversity is so good why you guys still have the NATOPS? Diversity of thought IS key but that's not dependent entirely on culture. The coolest part is working on technology that no one else gets to touch. The coolest part is building experience to use in the real world while you shock your civilian counterparts with your knowledge and wisdom.
I served for 22 yrs.. best job I ever had, now I'm with NASA. Thanks to the Navy
How ??

I am just not fit for that kind of leadership position. Plus going officer requires a lot more education
Use your GI Bill and get your degree. i started as enlisted, now I’m in Navy flight school

Currently waiting on my MEPS appointment!
My son has his package in for OCS/flight slot. Is there still going to be a board this month ?
Wish I could join, but I’m medically disqualified from enlisting
I leave in a couple of months. Hooyah! I’m excited! MEPS was a journey but worth it.
Awesome! Keep us posted!
Working towards commissioning soon.
I’ve been wanting to join the navy for 14 years I thought about it for so long I’m gonna join the navy finally
Being a Navy pilot was always my dream, turns out I can't do anything for the Navy because of my bad allergies. Still find the Navy hella cool though
Im a aviation inthusiest and love military jets just i have no idea how to fly them vtol vr doesnt really help with all of the controlls…
