I was just wondering if anyone knows how difficult it is to get into an aviation career from the Naval Academy, specifically becoming a pilot. What kind of class rank is necessary etc. etc.

Class of 2008
319 pilots of 1047 grads - 30%
Class of 2009
307 pilots of 1058 grads - 29%
Those numbers include USMC pilots. Capt MJs advice is spot on. For best service selection you wish to be in the top one-third of your class.
It means you didn't get in with a waiver that limits you to restricted line, vs unrestricted line.
It also means you aren't too tall to fit into the cockpit, or two muscular, etc.
You must also make it through a series of schools, which if you wash out from either of them, you could find yourself doing something totally different than you had planned for.
