Howdy everyone,
Going to try to keep this novel as short and to the point as possible. I've had my sights on Naval Aviation since I was a freshman in high school when I started flying lessons on a whim. Got my PPL at 17, graduated high school and started college while working on a Marine PLC air contract I never got. Alone and exposed to the world, the women and booze got the best of me and I ended up blowing my GPA to a whopping .462 by the time my freshman year was up. I ended up transferring schools, since the first University wasn't too interested in having me back. Long story short I made the judgement call that I wasn't mature enough to be an officer or even make it through school so I enlisted in the Navy. Here we are 2.5 years down the road and I've slowly been rebuilding my GPA through online courses from the second school I attended. Its finally up around the 3.0 mark and Im feeling like Im getting the wind back in me to start pursuing my dream again. Obviously STA-21 is an option and I am working with my CCC to get a package in for FY-17. Since we all know chances for that program are slim; I am also planning on continuing my studies and applying through OCS, either while still AD, or after I EAS in roughly 2.5 years. Im majoring in intelligence, analysis, and security studies at Angelo State University in San Angelo Tx. Through my original process in college I understood that any bachelors would suffice. Today, however, I spoke to a NC chief who referred me to cnrc.navy.mil for the most up to date info on requirements. In the instruction for pilot/nfo it specifically states a Bachelors of Arts or Science is required. My degree is a Bachelor of Security Studies. Is this going to dq me since its not a BS or a BA? While I could start over with another degree I would like to avoid it if at all possible. Sorry for the long post.
