Yes, to become a naval aviator, you must first complete Navy bootcamp. After bootcamp, you will undergo further training at Officer Candidate School (OCS) or the Naval Academy before progressing to flight school and earning your wings as a naval aviator.

No. Naval Aviators (Pilots and Naval Flight Officers), are all officers, and therefore do not go to boot camp. Instead, you have to go through a commissioning program. Examples include the Naval Academy, Navy ROTC at a civilian university/college, or if you already have a college degree, apply for Officer Candidate School.

Some go for as mentioned above but for myself, I went through bootcamp and still became an officer (LCDR).
