Hello,Im planning on joining the Marines after college(currently a senior in HS).The reason why Im interested in joining the Marines,aside from common values and the honor,I've heard that the Marines are the only branch of the US military that offer guaranteed pilot slots for any officers that meet the qualifications.
Now,Im aware that there are many false rumors and allegations thrown out there,but is this true?Will the Corps actually offer a pilot slot to officers that meet the pre-requisites?
Also,I've heard that many of the Marines that become pilots are end up flying helos,and that spots for fixed-wing aircraft are ultra competitive(like much of this process).Is this also true(Im interested in becoming a fighter pilot)?
