Is NROTC a good way to become a naval aviator? Are the good odds of actually being given a pilot position?

You have to be kidding me!! You want to be a naval aviator but don't like g forces!!!

If that is the case, there is NO aviator job for you. All Navy and Marine Corps pilots go through the same flight training. We fly the same type of trainers that begin with the T-34C. When flying that bird we pull g's, both negative and positive. Part of the training is to make sure that the student isn't susceptable to motion sickness (as you appear to be). Even helos during auto rotation events pull g's especially when the pilot is working the collective and stick to stablize the aircraft. Rapid turns also result in g forces on the aircrew.

NROTC is just one way to be selected for flight training; however, it not the best way. Navy academy is way number one. Direct OCS commissioning is another way and is about equal to the NROTC route. You will take a flight physical and an aviation aptitude battery test to determine your potential to complete flight training. When I was in flight training, most of the trainees who left the training program in the first two weeks of actual flight was due to air sickness. They were reassigned to jobs in the fleet not of their choosing. If you suspect that you are susceptable to air sickness, don't waste your option for applying for a Navy officer's occupational skill position that you would be most interested in. If you flunk out of flight training, the Navy will decide for you.
