I want to become a pilot and join the U.S. Navy as an F18/ 14 pilot then someday become an airline pilot.?

In that sequence? Why not apply to Annapolis, graduate as an officer, and get free pilot training?

To become a pilot, you willl need the followings: First get a Student Pilot Licence: Flying Hours Required: 30 Hrs Expenses: US $90-110 per hour (Total: Approx.US$ 3500+) Then Proceed to Private Pilot Licence: Flying Hours Required: 65 Hrs (30+35) Expenses: US $90-110 per hour (Total: Approx.US$ 9500+) Then you apply for Commercial Pilot Licence: Flying Hours Required: 250 Hrs (30+35+185) Expenses: US $90-110 per hour (Total: Approx.US$ 30000+) During the last 25 hours you have to get MULTI-ENGINE RATING (which adds approx. US$6000) TOTAL FUNDS REQUIRED: 36000+other expenses like books, exams, travel etc. Better you contact the following site for more help in the US. You have to pass the following exams: 1. Navigation 2. Airframe 3. Meterology 4. Aerodynamics You don't have to be Archmedies, but you should know Trignometry and Physics.

Becoming a pilot these days is a fairly easy task as long as you are willing to sit in a bunch of classes for a long period of time. Every class I took was pretty much dumbed down to the lowest level. As long as you paid attention in class, you could gain the general concepts of flight and the controls. However, there are a few classes that could help. Having a general basis in physics would be a great start, you need algebra and geometry to understand the basics of physics. You could take calculus, but I havent seen a class go that in depth with their physics instruction. there are a bunch of other classes I could suggest, like general mechanics so you can understand the parts and peices of the aircraft (which is very critical), to aeromedical.

Assuming that you are still in high school, take college prep classes. Unless you're planning on going into an engineering discipline in college, the usual mix of algebra, geometry and pre-calculus should be sufficient. Chemistry and physics will help as well. Generalized "earth sciences" courses are a little too basic. Any college degree will qualify you for a Navy commission though for obvious reasons focusing on aviation science will serve you best for an aviation career both in the military and civilian life. Hopefully your eyesight is 20-20, uncorrected. You won't get into fighters with anything less. If you eyesight is correctable with glasses to 20-20 you MIGHT be able to fly the heavies. Do NOT get any type of laser surgery; it is a bar to most military aviation. Stay fit. Upper body strength is CRITICAL in the fighter world and good aerobic capacity is very important as well. You don't want or need to "bulk up" but need to have excellent muscle tone. Stay away from any and all illegal drugs. PERIOD! Avoid any adverse legal action. Even traffic tickets will be looked in to and serious traffic convictions (DUI, no insurance, leaving the scene, etc.) may be a bar to military service, especially as an officer. Any felony convictions are a permanent bar. Misdemeanor convictions will usually require a waiver to enter the service and may be a bar to commissioned service as an officer. If you have the time and funds, it won't hurt to get at least a private pilot's license along the way. This is NOT a requirement to enter military aviation, however. If you have no flight experience or civilian ratings, you will be sent to a preparatory flight training school to see if you can master the basics of flight fairly quickly. This is a rather intensive course and the washout rate is fairly high. If you already have a civilian aeronautical certificate you'll bypass that course.
