WestTexas Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 IF I can get the wife to go for it, I am really looking into joining the Marines and OCS and going for aviation pilot with Rotary wing being my preferred choice. I have been on here for years and always saw lots of Army pilots and applicants but not many Marines. What gives? Any Marine pilots on here that could answer a couple questions for me? Thanks for your time. Quote
Creep0321 Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Not a Marine pilot but spent 9 years in the Corps. Any questions, ask away, there are USMC pilots on here that will chime in. Quote

Thanks for your time.Go to airwarriors.com It's a site dedicated to Marine/Navy OCS, kind of like how this site is dedicated to WOFT. Quote
WolftalonID Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Wait..I grew up in the corp...Marines dont startegize, they improvise. Might be why! Haha Quote
Hotdogs Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Small density of pilots nationwide. Probably only around 5,000-6,000 in active/reserve service right now vice probably well over 10,000 rotary wing pilots in the Active, Reserve, and National Guard parts of the Army. Those 5,000-6,000 Marine pilots only around half are rotary winged pilots. Quote
WestTexas Posted January 21, 2016 Author Posted January 21, 2016 Thanks for the replies. I tried airwarriors but was denied. I guess I didn't make a strong enough profile! Quote
