What do pilots major in?

In the Army you don't have to major in anything... High school to flight school!

I couldn't even make SSgt! I believe that at my time in,if you didn't associate with the right people,you weren't going anywhere. I finally made e-4,in Italy,just before discharge.

Doesn't matter. i had no aviation experience prior to branching Medical Service; Then aeromedical evacuation officer (Pilot). Do well in school and branch aviation or medical service. Career paths and opportunities vary greatly. Once you complete the fun (flying) portion of your career, opportunities vary greatly. Choose wisely.

Find something you enjoy and will do well in, having good grades in college is way more important to the pilot selection board than having bad grades in an aviation related program. I flew with pilots with degrees from Golf (kinesiology of golf) to History, English, Art, Leadership, all the way up to Computer Science, Engineering, and even some who had degrees in Aviation and Aviation Safety. One guy was even a full MD before he started flight school. The degree you hold is is way less important than demonstrating the drive and the commitment to study and do well.

Hi Isabel. Before I continue I just wanna day that I am not a pilot yet but I am aspiring to be a helo pilot just like yourself. I’m currently a Hospital Corpsman in the Navy. As far as what you should major in, if you’re gonna apply to become a military pilot in any branch, I can tell you with 100% certainty that it simply doesn’t matter what degree you have. Many Marine, Navy and even Army pilots tell me that a lot of their classmates and even them selves had complete BS degrees that have nothing to do with aviation like history or humanities. In the Army they also have a program called “High School to Flight school”. This program allows for Anyone (not just high School students) to go straight in with no degree and they’ll train you to fly as a warrant officer instead of a commissioned officer (2Lt, 1Lt, Cpt, etc). I myself am working on a general studies degree so that I may become a Naval Aviator myself. Hope this answers your question, if not let me know! Good luck achieving your goal, hope to see you in the skies with me in the future!

Pilots major in many different things aside from flying and chasing women. Astrophysics, engineering, computer science, political science, world history, economics. The list is so vast.

There is no typical major I've noticed in the regular officers in the battalion. What matters is your placement on the OML and the required tests to be an Aviator (SIFT), not the field of study for your degree. Since overall GPA matters, factor that in your decision making process, but pick something you are interested in. If you aren't interested, you are less likely to care. Think about what fields you may be interested in pursuing and if the degree would help further that outside the military if you determine you do not wish to continue outside your initial obligation.

I went through the old AVCAD program (the Navy had similar program) it took people, generally, 2-3 years out of high school, left college for one reason or another. The screening was brutal the washout rate in the first few months was well over 40-50% Honor code took another 5-10%. This program provided the Aircrew for WWII thru the mid 60’s. We had a better retention rate, for a career, than any other program including the service academies, most of us retired as regular officers, Majors and Lt Col. the Military and flying were our lives, that’s what it takes to be a Pilot or Navigator and that’s the level of dedication the county needs. We were the professional military, the worker bees.

Military aviators often have a wide variety of degrees. I was in flight school with folks who had degrees in everything from PoliSci to Mech-E. The thing to bear in mind is that aviation is a technical field requiring high core competencies in mathematics, physics, systems, navigation, meteorology, fluids, electrical engineering...etc...etc. If you want to make aviation a life-long career,I'd suggest an engineering major; you will need that background for advanced pipelines like TPS or the astronaut program (if not doctorate level degrees by that point). If you're looking at your future post- military...remember that much will change for you personally and professionally in the years it will take you to fulfill your dream of flight. If as a former rotary-wing aviator, you decide you want to be a medical doctor...I had a flight surgeon once who had started out flying F-14s. However, I would assume it a safe bet that whatever pre-med you may have completed before entering flight-training, it may be challenging to just "pick up where you left off" seven to ten years later.

This is the main body over the state defense forces (SDFs) I'd mentioned they're real militaries, though state not Federal, not all statesmhabe them, theymcam give you a good feel if the life is for your without worrying about deployment, understands they're real, boot camps, OCS programs!s, contracts, they supple!ent the Natl Guard, Army and Air, our dentist did the one by is at my suggestion, then went army Natl Guardz, trust !e, look at it alsoz OK? I'll wait mowz I'd just wanted to send those other things as well for you to look over, OK? Rememnerz show tour fwmolyq, dont try deciding thismgormyourself, OK?
