I'm a new user and I've read a lot here. Here is my question. I plan to apply for an SNA slot to be a pilot in the Navy. ( I'm only a freshman now) Assuming I could get a spot through OCS, it seems that being the #1 guy through the phases of flight training is obviously the sure-fire way to getting the pipeline and airframe you want. I'm curious as to what that takes. Is the number one guy the one the one who works the hardest? (puts the most effort, studies procedures, making sure he is the most prepared he can possibly be given the resources), or is it the guy with natural skill... or most flight experience, kisses the most butt? It would be nice to know that a smart, motivated individual can use determination to get that top spot even if he/she doesnt have a zillion flight hours in the civillian world. Thanks.
