can drone pilots be helicopter pilots in the navy?
I m looking into joining the navy as an officer (maybe taking rotc or ocs) and am hoping to be an ncis agent when I m not active duty and am trying to find positions that does stuff kind of on the bases of what I d be doing as an ncis agent (like tracking and stopping terrorist and drug cartels) and figured drone pilots would be the closest thing, next to seals and SWCCS (seals I know I most likely couldn t get in and I heard SWCCs are just enlisted) so I figured I d ask about drone pilots and what all they could do, I read they have more ability to move around then the Air Force drone Pilots, they can command different departments, like sea hawk and f22 pilots. So I figured I d ask on here and see what people who have actually don t this for the navy have to say.

Unless you like murdering children, don't become a drone operator.
Drone operators are cowardly scum who don't even have the balls to look the people they kill in the eyes like any real man should.

You have a whole lot of imagination and have done nothing resembling research. Keep dreaming. Or do actual research into what those jobs are, what they do, and who does them. Right now you are downright delusional.

The AF is the only service that requires all drone pilots to be officers. ALL the other services use enlisted to fly drones. If you are a drone pilot/operator you will be enlisted. Only officers can be helicopter pilots. So, no, you can't "move around".
NCIS has nothing to do with drones. It is a law enforcement organization. You would be a civilian coming through the law enforcement side. Very few of the jobs would allow you to join without a 4-year degree.
The Navy does not have ANY F-22s. Those are strictly Air Force, so, no, you can't "command different departments".
If you are wanting to be a pilot, your only realistic options are Naval Academy or ROTC. The path through OCS to pilot is about a 1 in 10,000 shot or less. You MUST have a degree THEN enlist and be accepted into OCS within the age limits even to have a shot as a pilot.

no, drone pilots will fly nothing but drones-- they are the pilots who finished at the bottom of their flight school class.

Real NCIS agents do not have jobs anything at all like the TV show. Their jobs involve a lot of paperwork investigations and foot-slogging interviews. It is EXTREMELY RARE for an NCIS Agent to get involved in any investigation that involves a physical confrontation and 95% of all the agents go through a 20-30 year career without ever pulling their weapon.
You want a TV fantasy and that won't happen.

you have no clue, do you. NCIS is a civilian organization. you would need a civilian law enforcement background( up to and included the two Three Letter Agencies that have field operatives) neither of which are doable while serving Active Duty( and Aviators have a ten year AD commitment)
the Navy does not use drones that much at all. they let the AF play glorified video games all day.
you know how the Navy tracks terrorists? sitting in dark windowless basements intercepting communications and hacking the bad guys computers. they let the Coast Guard intercept Drug (and people) smugglers.
