Marine and Navy T28 Trainers
Aviation Officer Candidate
Pre-Flight Classes
On this page are Network members who became Naval and Marine Aviators through the Aviation Officer Candidate Program. Names are arranged according to AOC Graduation Class.
We express sincerest gratitude to these AOC members for sharing their life experiences with us on this website.
NOTE: The Aviation Officer Candidate program began in late summer and fall 1955. At that time, many Navcads with four-year college degrees were in the training pipeline. They were among the first to receive their AOC commissions under the new program and finished their flight training as officers. These individuals had no AOC training class, and are listed on this site with their Navcad classes.
