I've been accepted into the Naval Academy and am expecting to receive a Navy ROTC scholarship as well.
I'm not sure whether I'm going to go USNA or ROTC, but either way I want to do aviation when I graduate.
What exactly happens after graduation from either ROTC or USNA? I know I'll go to flight school in Pensacola, but how long does that typically last? What happens after that? Where will I live? Do I get to choose where I'll be stationed? When is my first deployment? How long will it be? If I chose not to stay in the Navy for my whole career, what is the soonest I can get out? How frequently will I get deployed and how long will it be for? Can I join the reserves before my minimum service requirement is up?
I've always been so concerned with getting in, that I've never thought about what happens after graduation, and I'm having a hard time finding out. If someone could answer my questions or just give me a typical outline as to what happens in this situation I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
