Good Evening,Marines.
As mentioned in one of my previous posts,Im interested in becoming a Marine officer after obtaining my bachelor's degree.To be more specifically,Im hoping to be some day a naval aviator.
Now,in a separate site,I was told the following:"When you get your commission you have a 4 year contract, after flight school you will sign a new contract for another 6 years, that is 6 years from the date you got your wings, not 6 on top of the 4.So that would mean if you got through flight school in 1 year then you would be doing 7...".
My question is -- Say I were to sign a 6-year contract as a naval aviator.Also,say that it takes me around 1 year to receive all of my flight training.Would this mean that my 1 year in training would be deducted from my 6-year contract or is what the person quoted said correct - that I would have to do 1 year on training plus the other 6 years of active duty in my contract?
PS:Sorry if this question has been asked before,but I tried looking and couldn't find any post that was related to this topic.
Thanks in advance - Thunderbolt.
