What percent of military pilots are from the service academies?

I would like to know what percent of all pilots for each branch of the United States military are military academy graduates? Also, what percent for each branch are ROTC and OCS graduates?What percent of military pilots are from the service academies?The Air Force allots 500 Pilot slots to approximately 1,000 2nd Lts commissioning at the Academy and 500 Pilot slots to approximately 2,200 2nd Lts commissioning through Afrotc. The number of officers commissioning through Ots varies widely. Since Afrotc is considered over enrolled through the Class of 2014, not many are commissioning through Ots. Last year there was one Ots class, all rated slots. 656 applied, 132 were selected including 26 enlisted Airmen. As only 60% of Usafa Cadets are Pilot Qualified and not all want to be Pilots, attaining almost any Usafa Cadet who wants a Pilot slot attains one.

At Usna for a recent class, approximately 30% of Navy Ensigns and 39% of Marine 2nd Lts went on to Flight School for Pilot training. An additional 12% of Navy Ensigns went to Flight School for Naval Flight Officer training.

For Nrotc Navy Option, for the Class of 2011, Naval Aviator(Pilot) was the most common designator. Approximately 250 of 850 Ensigns set to commission have been selected to go on to flight school to become Pilots. I don't have the percentage for Marine Option but the relevant point is that the Marines will guarantee a Pilot Slot to Nrotc Marine Option Mids and Plc Officer Candidates who qualify as early as freshman year of college.

Q: Can I be guaranteed flight school after graduation?
A: The Navy does not give such a guarantee. However, experience has shown that a solid academic performance at Colorado, and high scores on the aviation aptitude exam, plus being physically qualified for aviation, will give a Midshipman an excellent chance of getting aviation. The Marine Corps does offer flight guarantees, which can be granted by meeting the requirements any time up to 90 days before graduation.

Army: 98% Helicopters; Air Force: 98% Fixed Wing; Navy: 75% Fixed Wing; Marines: 50% Fixed Wing.
Good understanding of Nrotc by reading the FAQ on the website of the nation's first Nrotc Battalion:

Good Description of Afrotc:
http://airforcerotc.berkeley.edu/_afrotc鈥?/a>
The Army is 98% helicopters and has Warrant Officer pilots as well as commissioned officer pilots. Aviation is a very competitive branch at both West Point and Army Rotc. Army OCS normally does not receive Aviation slots.
Highly selective colleges including the service academies consider grades and standardized test scores as part of a whole person evaluation. Athletic participation is also very important for both the service academies and Afrotc/Nrotc/Nrotc mo/Rotc high school scholarships. Physical fitness level is very important for the Nrotc Marine Option Scholarships. All Marine Officer commissioning programs require a 1st class Marine Pft, 225 minimum. Few of the Marine Option Scholarships are awarded with a Pft less than 280. Some highly selective private colleges consider 1st semester senior year grades. The service academies and rotc selection committees do not as they are making selection starting from the late summer early fall of senior year. In general the grades at the highest level in a subject are given the most consideration. Some colleges don't consider freshman grades at all such as Berkeley, Ucla and every other public university in California when calculating the A-G Gpa used to determine eligibility for admission. The Psat math only tests Algebra 1 and Geometry. The Sat Math also tests Algebra 2 and the Act Math adds Trig into the mix. The Cr score is also very important to the service academies and Afrotc/Nrotc/Nrotc mo/Rotc Selection Panels. An extracurriculr reading program that includes looking up unknown words in a dictionary and writing down the meaning can improve Cr and Writing scores:

For colleges that require them, be sure to decide which courses you will take Sat Subject exams in and then schedule the Sat Subject exams to coincide with the Ap or Final exam in the course.
The Air Force Academy website offers outstanding advice to students prepping for a service academy, rotc scholarship or any highly selective university. Open all links to the left of the dialog box:

The selection process is nearly identical at the Air Force Academy, Naval Academy, and West Point, so, whatever is stated on one service academy website or in its catalog with regard to admissions generally holds for the others. If you read the following answer and open the links it should help to explain the selection process and the path to an appointment:
