in the navy how do you become a pilot as opposed to a naval flight officer or Maintenance Duty Officer?
i would really like like to become an officer and want to know how my career is chosen. I like aviation and just want to be a pilot, i'd be ok with being an NFO but not an aviation maintenance duty officer. So how are officer's careers chosen? would i have a better shot at becoming a pilot in the marines or the navy?

The Navy has more aircraft than the Marines, ergo your chances of being picked up are better.
You APPLY to becvome a Pilot or NFO, that's how it starts anyway. You will be asked for your top three choices: in your case Pilot would be #1, NFO #2 and something else #3.
Your application goes in front of a flying training selection board. They look at your physical, test scores and other stuff like flying experience, letters from aircrews etc. They make a subjective assessment of your potential to complete Pilot/NFO training, and your fate is decided.
If you have other questions, don't hesitate to PM me. (I work with active duty Navy Hornet, S3, and EA6 guys every day).
