Interesting. How would the USNA's major influence this? Would an Aero Engineer get a significant advantage over a Math, or an English?
Each year, approximately 10,000 individuals demonstrate an interest in
professional military aviation by taking the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps Aviation
Selection Test Battery (ASTB) (Williams, Albert, & Blower, 1999, and Arnold, 2002).
Historically, of the 10,000 taking the ASTB, almost half fail to meet minimum selection
scores. Furthermore, those who score favorably must then undergo a thorough physical
examination to ensure that they meet medical standard. Approximately 25% fail the
physical examination. Finally, candidates must ultimately pass the individual screening
and interview processes as well. In reality, of those initially tested individuals,
approximately 5% will ultimately be selected as “Student Naval Aviators” and begin
training.
