If you're wondering if you need a 2 year or 4 year degree, the answer is that you need at least a BA or BS degree from an accredited institution in order to be a Commissioned Officer in the U.S. Navy in most cases. There are a limited number of methods to earn a commission through the enlisted ranks, but these are becoming harder every year.

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).

A Navy Pilot must first get a college degree. All pilots are officers, and to be an officer in any branch of the military, one must have a college degree. This degree can come from the Naval Academy or a civilian college. One may participate in an Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) program, Officer Candidate School (OCS) after college, or attend the Naval Academy. Upon receiving a college degree and progressing through OCS, a ROTC unit or the Naval Academy, one goes to flight school. Upon completing flight school, one has become a Naval Aviator.
In order to become a Marine Corps Officer you have to go through the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps program in college, go through OCS after College, or go to the Naval Academy. All Marine Corps Officers are college graduates. You can enlist after high school but the program in high school is not strictly military training, it is only military affiliated. In fact ROTC in High School may not help you very much in trying to become a Marine Officer. The majority of high school ROTC members who eventually join the military enlist, while many officers played a couple of sports and worked on getting good grades more than anything else. Talk to a recruiter if you are interested in going enlisted, or try to find the Naval ROTC at colleges you are interested for more information on becomming an Officer. You have to graduate with a college degree in order to be commissioned an Officer. If you flunk out of college, you will not get a commission even if you complete all the ROTC requirements/courses.
