This guide provides useful information for those who wish to join the Navy in the field of Aviation as an enlisted Sailor during Fiscal Year 2025.
Naval Aviation isn’t just about flying—it’s about keeping aircraft mission-ready and ensuring operations run smoothly at sea and on land. Enlisted Sailors in aviation have roles in:
- Aviation Maintenance – Inspecting, repairing, and keeping fighter jets and helicopters in top shape.
- Aviation Administration – Managing flight records, maintenance schedules, and mission reports.
- Aviation Support – Providing critical ground support, from fueling to launching aircraft.
- Naval Aircrew – Operating advanced systems and carrying out search and rescue missions.
Navy aviation operates beyond the limits of land-based runways—the entire ocean becomes a platform for action. Whether assisting TOPGUN aviators or handling air traffic operations, these roles require teamwork, precision, and technical expertise.
If you’re more interested in engines than cockpits, a career in aviation mechanics could put you hands-on with some of the most advanced aircraft in the world.
