The U.S. Navy did not permit filming at NAS Pensacola in the Florida panhandle, the site of the actual Aviation Officer Candidate School in 1981 . Deactivated U.S. Army base Fort Worden stood in for location of the school, an actual Naval Air Station in the Puget Sound area, NAS Whidbey Island . However, that installation, which is still an operating air station today, was and is a "fleet" base for operational combat aircraft and squadrons under the cognizance of Naval Air Force Pacific, not a Naval Air Training Command installation . </P> <P> A motel room in Port Townsend, The Tides Inn on Water Street (48 ° 06 ′ 38" N 122 ° 45 ′ 54" W ﻿ / ﻿ 48.1105 ° N 122.765 ° W ﻿ / 48.1105; - 122.765), was used for the film . Today, there is a plaque outside the room commemorating this (although the room has been extensively refurbished in the interim). Some early scenes of the movie were filmed in Bremerton, with ships of the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in the background . </P>
