[sci.military] Navy pilot experiences?

   I currently am considering trying to become a Navy pilot, i.e. in the
Aviation Officer Program. I have taken the written test (four parts:
scholastic, mechanical, spatial apperception, and personal history), and
apparently did pretty well on it, and my recruiter says he can "make me
a pilot."

   As I understand it, the next steps would be the physical test, medical
examination, interview with officers, formal application, and then off to
Pensacola. I have not decided whether or not I will take the next step
yet. I originally took the test just to see how I would do on it, but now
am seriously considering trying the whole thing through.

   Does anyone have any experience with this program? Any information or
advice would be appreciated. I'd be interested in things such as what I
would have in store for me, what kind of chance would I have of actually
making it, what to expect, and so forth. Also, if someone knows exactly
what kind of test scores are what are being looked for, that would be
great.

   Once again, this would be appreciated.
