Work Environment
As a Navy Pilot or an NFO, missions and assignments can be anywhere
around the globe. This includes working from carrier battle groups,
or other sea-based platforms, and at Naval Air Stations or other
locations on shore.
Currently, this position in the Navy Reserve is open only to prior
or current military aviators and Naval Flight Officers.
Serving part-time as a Navy Reserve Sailor, your duties will be
carried out during your scheduled drilling and training periods.
During monthly drilling, Navy Pilots and Naval Flight Officers in
the Navy Reserve typically work at a location close to their
homes.
For Annual Training, Naval Aviators may serve anywhere in the
world, whether on a ship at sea or at bases or Naval Air Stations
on shore.

Training & Advancement
Those entering aviation programs must first attend Officer
Candidate School (OCS) in Newport, RI, and then complete a six-week
air indoctrination course at Naval Aviation Schools Command, in
Pensacola, FL. From there, prospective Pilots and NFOs attend
primary flight training.
Pilots and NFOs then request an aircraft pipeline and enter the
intermediate phase of flight training, which builds upon basic
flight and navigation training. The final phase is advanced naval
flight training, focusing on mission specifics. After completion,
Pilots and NFOs are awarded their "wings of gold" and report to
their respective Fleet Replacement Squadrons (FRSs) for further
training specific to their aircraft.
Promotion opportunities are regularly available but competitive and
based on performance. It's also important to note that specialized
training received and work experience gained in the course of
service can lead to valuable credentialing and occupational
opportunities in related fields.
Currently, this position in the Navy Reserve is open only to prior
or current military aviators and Naval Flight Officers.
Most of what you do in the Navy Reserve is considered training. The
basic Navy Reserve commitment involves training a minimum of one
weekend a month (referred to as drilling) and two weeks a year
(referred to as Annual Training) - or the equivalent of that.
Aviators in the Navy Reserve serve in an Officer role. Your prior
experience as an Officer satisfies the initial leadership training
requirement - so you will not need to go through Officer Training
again.
Advance your training as you continue to proudly fly for your
country in the Navy Reserve. You may fly and train on:
