I might be wrong...but I'm pretty sure the majority of Marine Officers are pilots. FWIW.

Where did you get that opinion from?
Just in my experience... OCS - about 20% flight contracts in my company, TBS - about 40% and that was Alpha, one of the few really Aviation heavy Companies, there are alot of Companies with MUCH less...
I maybe wrong in stating the majority of Marine officers are pilots; rather its probably more like Aviation is the biggest MOS...
According to the 2005 Concepts and Programs publication (published by HQMC) there were a total of 5,146 officers in the Pilot/NFO MOS(75XX). That is more than any other single MOS. The total number of officers was 18,839.
The Marine Corps Occupational System uses a four-digit number code constructed on the concept that occupations with similar skill and knowledge requirements are grouped into functional areas, known as occupational fields (OccFlds), and jobs, known as Military Occupational Specialties (MOSs).
OccFlds are identified by the first two digits of the four-digit code and a descriptive title. The OccFld is a grouping of related MOSs.
The MOS is a four-digit code consisting of the OccFld code completed by two additional digits. It describes a group of related duties and job performance tasks that extend over one or more grades.
I have the 2005 edition sitting in front of me, but just for your enjoyment I did a little searching for everybody and found the 2006 edition (I am terrible at internet searching):Do you have a link to this?
