The ultimate judge of success within the aviation community is performance in an operational environment. Operational career milestones give every aviation officer the opportunity to develop a pattern of sustained superior performance within the officer’s warfare specialty.
This chart depicts the general flow of an aviation officer’s career milestones with increasing responsibility. The aviation community is first and foremost an aerial combat force, and values the attainment of warfare qualifications and leadership both in the air and on the ground. Aviators have many subspecialty platforms that enable the Navy to be a successful fighting force and contribute to joint and coalition campaigns.
Each aviation community has warfare qualifications that are standardized by the respective community’s weapons schools, under the guidance of the Naval Strike Air Warfare Center. As the aviation officer progresses in their career, these qualifications should be documented in their official record.
