Being a Naval Aviator: A Look into the Life of a Navy Pilot

Being a Naval Aviator is no easy feat. It requires rigorous training, dedication, and a passion for flying. But for those who make it through the process, the rewards are well worth it. As a Naval Aviator, you will have the opportunity to fly some of the most advanced aircraft in the world, and take part in operations that protect our nation's security.

The first step to becoming a Navy pilot is to attend Officer Candidate School (OCS) where you will learn the basic skills necessary to become a Navy officer. After OCS, you will attend flight school where you will learn to fly a variety of aircraft, including the T-6 Texan II, T-45 Goshawk, and the F/A-18 Hornet.



Flight school is a demanding and challenging experience. It requires long hours, intense focus, and a willingness to push yourself to the limit. But for those who make it through, the feeling of accomplishment is unmatched.



Once you have completed flight school, you will be designated as a Naval Aviator and will begin your operational training. This training will take you to various bases around the world, where you will learn to fly different aircraft and complete various mission profiles.



Once you have completed your operational training, you will be assigned to a squadron where you will begin flying missions. These missions can include reconnaissance, air-to-air combat, air-to-ground strikes, and search and rescue operations. As a Navy pilot, you will be responsible for planning and executing these missions, as well as leading your fellow pilots in the execution of these operations.



Being a Navy pilot is a challenging and demanding job, but it is also one of the most rewarding careers you can choose. It allows you to fly some of the most advanced aircraft in the world, and take part in operations that protect our nation's security. If you have a passion for flying, and the dedication and drive to succeed, a career as a Navy pilot may be the perfect fit for you.

Random act of kindness around the holidays...

This morning I decided to stop through the drive thru on my way to the airport. There was about 4 cars waiting in the drive thru lane in one direction and I ended up coming in from the other direction. When I usually come in from this side I just wait for the few cars to go then I take my turn and get in line. Well today was different this women let me in line. As soon as I came up to the line of cars she waved me in. I thought to myself no this isn't happening she doesn't mean to get in front of her... Does she? Not in this neighborhood anyway! Well she did and I was shocked...

I ordered my usual #4 with cheese and a vanilla iced coffee, pulled up to the window and told the cashier that I'd like to pay for the breakfast of the woman behind me. At first this seemed like a really nice thing and I figured it wouldn't take long. But because I was using a credit card we needed a manager to approve the second transaction...

After a short wait I told the cashier to just tell the woman behind me that because of her kindness I was returning the favor. Of course my favor cost me eight bucks, but that's a small price to pay to make someones day... I didn't do this because I wanted her to thank me or wave or anything so I just went on to the next window picked up my order saw her talking with the cashier behind me. Got my drink and pulled up a bit. She looked at me then the cashier with a nice smile on her face. Dint wave or anything just like I hoped. Picked up her phone and dialed a friend. By the smile on her face while she talked on the phone I could tell I made her day. Only because of her nice gesture.

Today feels a little like the Holiday season... Of course I'm in shorts and sweating but it still feels somewhat like Christmas.

My First Shark!

I caught this nice Nurse Shark off the coast
of Whale Cay, Bahamas. I got to the island a little late and decided to
spend the night instead of trying to beat the weather back. Now we
didn't plan to spend the night so we didn't have enough food for the few
of us that were spending time over there so we decided to go fishing and
catch dinner. Well to everyone's surprise we caught this 5'8" Shark.
We took a few photos and let the fish go what a fight it was!
