Enhance Your Leadership Skills as a Part-Time Navy Reserve Pilot

As a current or former Naval Aviator, you have the unique opportunity to leverage your leadership skills and talents in a dynamic environment. However, by joining the Navy Reserve, you can continue your naval career while also pursuing part-time opportunities.

The mission of the Navy Reserve is multifaceted: provide strategic depth and deliver operational capabilities to the Navy and Marine Corps team, as well as Joint forces, in times of peace or war. Navy Reserve Sailors seamlessly support and actively aid this mission while continuing to lead their independent lives in the civilian world.

Navy Reserve Sailors enjoy a comprehensive range of benefits, including:

• State-of-the-art training
• Extensive educational assistance
• VA benefits
• Tax-free, worldwide Navy Exchange and commissary privileges for you and your family
• Low-cost insurance options, including up to $500,000 in life insurance
• Travel opportunities
• Earn points toward retirement benefits every time you drill
• Retirement after 20 qualifying years

In addition to these benefits, Navy Reserve Sailors continue to hold educational opportunities through Tuition Assistance, DANTES, and their post 9/11 or Montgomery GI Bill. Further education opportunities are also available through the US Naval War College and Senior Enlisted Academy, as well as certifications and licenses available through the Navy Credentialing Opportunities Online (COOL).
