I am curious to hear why some people did not take their commission. I just graduated from USMC OCS 196 and deferred my commission. I graduated top 10% of the class but decided I needed more time to weigh my decision on becoming a officer. I am a pilot contract and was unsure how career progression was for pilots. Also I was worried about if I would enjoy my life style. Could anyone out there please shine some light on the pilot community for the Marine Corps and the family aspect as well as the personal enjoyment of their duties. What you do like about being a pilot and what you don't like? I heard I would only fly 10%-15% of my career and spend the rest doing collateral duties or B billets. I am confused....
I am struggling with my thoughts and maybe looking to far down the life line. I was always the guy before OCS started saying "Why would anyone go through OCS and graduate and then not Commission?" And look what happened........
Thanks
