Seriously. Go learn airmanship and get a Private Pilot rating in an airplane; first. Then take a few "lessons" in a primary training helicopter and see if it even interests you.

While Chuck relegates a wide swath of middle America to mongoloid level intelligence... to the OP: Do not blow $10K on a PPL because you think it will help you get selected as an SNA.

Honestly right now a major reason for wanting to learn to fly is for fun, but also to see if flying really is for me. I would like to in an ideal world take a flight lesson in a helicopter just to see what that is like after earning my SEL PPL. Man this got way more responses than I expected, thanks airwarrior community!

Just go do a discovery flight or two at a local flight school and see if you have fun. Usually cheap. I too would advise against coming out of pocket for a full PPL.

As someone who had 0.0 hours before going to OCS and subsequently instructed Navy Primary in the T-6B, you 100% do not need prior flight time to succeed.
