Lol

Wow that's awesome thank you so much for your service

Aaron Seet cool highlights in wasp type operation

Aaron Seet bath iron works I ding by movement

There’s lights it’s not like it’s straight up pitch black lol

lucky, maybe I might join the Air Force or Navy

I'm having a hard time choosing either the AF or the Navy.

Thomas Ryan, IV Very good Sir I only turned wrenchs on the F4 aboard Forrestal 1966-69 Thomas Gilbert

My father flew the Corsair II and the Hornet. VFA 97 Warhawks off the Carl Vinson

Which A-7 squadron?

Lexi 98 Do you need a bachelor to be a fighter pilot or can you do it after highschool? Please reply back i need onfo

SkyLine 234 You need a bachelors to be a fighter pilot & the best thing is you can major in anything as long as you have that bachelors degree 🙂

Lexi 98 How do I get a bachelor? I can’t just go there after graduating high school? Thanks fir the reply btw

None Ya Your absolutely right, it’s tough to make it with tons of requirements & challenging, but I think that’s what’s makes me want it more! Would you say the marines are just as hard to compete in?

SkyLine 234 A bachelors takes originally 4 years to complete in a college, but you gotta get commissioned first. There are different routes to do this. Go through the Naval Academy (which I heard is very competitive), go through NROTC at your college, or attend OTS. I’m doing the OTS route. So the last year before graduating with a bachelors start applying yourself. There’s a video on KZfaq where it’s explained much better than I can explain. I’m still learning as I go, I just know the basics but it’s better to talk to someone that’s more knowledgeable & knows the ins & out of everything to becoming a fighter pilot! Here’s the link to that video, hope it helps! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mLF5aJSmnd2WdGQ.html

Top that off with the eye-catching ACM goodness of Ace Combat and the puzzling mental exercises of the RPG/strategy game Front Mission

Did you get your degree?

@@rohenry9962 not yet.

@@sirethanthegreat4069 I graduated this May. Currently preparing for the ASTB. I should have started the process in the beginning of my senior year because after you submit your packet, it takes 8 months to a year to find out if you got accepted. So start the process and submit your packet your senior year, this way when you graduated, you will have already known if you got accepted and will be able to go to OCS a few months after graduating. I will most likely have to wait a whole year at home before I get to go to OCS. 😟 (If I score high enough on the ASTB) But it is what it is.

How's you do and I'm 14 and my dream is to be a pilot in the navy any tips and or what college did you go to

@@evansuddreth388 not a naval aviatior yet but I suggest going to a service academy or going to ROTC So you get your officers commison then you can go through aircrew candidate school

Angel Marte Hated everything about being an aviation mechanic. Flying is so much better.

you move the focus of this video to something else to prove a point, although, its neither just the pilot or the mechanic that makes this happen. Its everyone that is involved.

No one cares about the mechanics. You don't hear about them nor see them on TV. lmao enlisted fucks. Glad I was officer (got out as a LT)

What about the engineers who designed and invented the aircraft

What about the Nuclear Operators who got the carrier out to sea? None of this would happen without them.

HOOYAH💪💪

The drop out rate is high to become a fighter pilot cause they have very strict guidelines and rules

@@steve00alt70 yes, but since the air force is hurting for pilots its likely less strict then opposed to the 80s and 70s when there were too many pilots.

Optic500 No the dropout rate is not high for fighters. Many people self eliminate or get medical DQd before they even go through their commissioning source. Once you’re in the pipeline, and you’ve proven yourself able to handle the rigors of piloting an aircraft, the military will train you to a level where you would be set up for success for any follow on training, including fighters, if you’ve made the grades for it. Yes, there are strict guidelines and rules (it’s the military), but it REALLY IS more achievable than you think.

I would love to be a fighter pilot for the marines but the height limit makes it impossible for me I’m 5 foot. Hope they change that by the time I commission

@@this_is_not_leanne6299 The airforce recently abolished the minimum height requirement for pilots, so perhaps you should check out the air force as well.

What do you mean? Your dream job was to be assigned to that squadron as a pilot? Or you are a naval aviator with them who thought it would be unattainable?

@@tommy35ss I feel like what he's saying is he thought it was an unachiavable dream job. Now - as a Fighter pilot he can look back and realise he was wrong.

@gcHK47, it's a lot more grueling and a lot more work than films like top gun and commercials like these make it seem. Don't feel bad

Tommy Etheredge I mean that I always wanted to be a Navy fighter pilot, but I couldn’t because I am unqualified intellectually, mentally, and athletically. It means that I am sad for being a 29yr old civilian struggling to make a living at an entry-level job that seems more like enslavement with each shift.

Will Arterberry I know that, but it still has been my childhood dream. It was also what set me apart from the dickheaded peers in my class who all wanted to be in the NBA, MLB, or NFL.

David Wiese no

@@ae5646 why not?

*Marines. Best of both worlds👍

Polo P Especially those who flew the F-14 Tom Cat were bad freakin ass ina bad freakin assed fighter jet. In my opinion, the F-14 Tom Cat has always been & will always be the best USMilitary Fighter Jet of all time! They need to bring it back

Don’t know why you two are arguing, they are both Naval Aviators and trained the same.

Marines don't fly off carriers that often. I heard at times they never get to. (talking about F-18 pilots not Harrier)

yoyoyoyoshua “that often”, more like never. they cant land on carriers unless they take the 6-month class on landing and taking off on carriers and catching the cable.

Miguel Sandoval Good luck pal! Hope you make it.

Hope you have your college degree or you'll just be watching them take off and land

@@mongo5392 You sound like a negative Nancy. There are many college graduates on KZfaq, just saying. As mentioned, he would not even be taking the ASTB unless he was, the Navy ended their non-commissioned officer-eligible flight warrant officer program last decade, ending enlisted pilots in the Navy once again, meaning there would be no way for him to even take this test.

Good luck, took mine a year ago , 7-9-7 here.

How’d it go?

me too :'( guess i'll just have to stick to dcs though

Fun fact too that the Marines will be flying both the F-35C mentioned in this video and the even more intriguing F-35B STOVL jet.

Was a member of VF-74 onboard the Nimitz in 1976 - our sister squadron then was VMF-333 out of Cherry Point - a great bunch of guys !

We'd love to have you. Let us know if you have any questions about requirements to join the Navy.

Oh yeah!

HOOYAH ✈✈

Good luck brother.

so did u make it?hope soo

Me too but as a freshman in hs. I’m lucky enough to be in my schools gifted program so I get to figure out my schedule and figure out the requirements to become a navy pilot early on. Work hard and keep going. I hope to see you there.

I'm 14

⚓⚓⚓

Imagine the Navy having more aircraft than all branches combined

Kev The Man Four years at the academy and 2+ years of flight school.

Should the academy turn out not for you, don't be afraid to look into other universities that might offer NROTC scholarships. Those, and the OCS program after you choose to bullet through college as a civilian

Hornet is my favorite plane

For me it is the F-14 Tomcat...maybe the Navy will bring them out of retirement.

Yessss brrooo

Why not the F6F-5 :p

I’d rather fly a Wildcat. It’s smaller

You commission yet?

A Z Well, after doing further soul searching, I decided that continuing a military career with the Navy isn’t for me. I haven’t given up, though, as I’m now looking into the Air Force and Army for commissioning and flight

You wasted a golden opportunity. If you can't make it through Navy OCS then I doubt you'll make it through Army OCS or Air Force OTS.

A Z I understand your concern. However, there were also a number of fellow “Dropouts” that I met when I was at OTCN who share my exact sentiments (i.e. I wasn’t the only one who took a deep look from within). With the Navy’s leadership falling apart (especially with the firing of Captain Crozier and the subsequent resignation of “SECNAV” Modley), I was left with a rather unpleasant taste in my mouth.

@@reijiminato8762 you should have been a navy pilot. flying over the beautiful blue ocean and skies seems better than flying over an ied ridden desert with sand in the army.

Chris Mihok yes indeed

Yessir

Air Force all the way dude

@@awesomerikd168 nah

@@awesomerikd168 US NAVY they are called aviators for something they are the best of the best.

HOOYAH!!

@@americasnavy hello I want to become a navy pilot that’s my only dream can you give me some tips?

Better than shitty Air Force!

FaLaLaMedia idk

Lol no, I'm a Student Naval Aviator and I've never taken any math class more advanced than pre-calculus. A lot of my colleagues are non-STEM majors as well.

@@eunee12 were you a usafa or usna grad, because I want to be a military pilot but Im going to do rotc in either air force or navy with a non-stem major aswell, i know they prefer stem majors, what are my chances

@@eunee12 were you a usafa or usna grad, because I want to be a military pilot but Im going to do rotc in either air force or navy with a non-stem major aswell, i know they prefer stem majors, what are my chances

1. No ASVAB is necessary, you must take the ASTB-E 2. No, you are in flight school or you are not. This is your career, you will get paid. 3. 2 years of training, possibly more, 8 years of AD service, so 10 thereabout. 4. Yes will you get deployed a lot, some more than others. I recommend going www.airwarriors.com and reading some of their stuff before posting away. Promise me.

Yeah they do that in the Navy as well
