I understand that Marine air contracts ebb and flow much like the tides, and right now they are low on the need side for aviators. However, I am very enthusiastic about becoming a Naval Aviator and am putting in my application for a Marine air slot. My PFT is teetering around a 290 and I graduate May 2011 with an B.S. in Aerospace Engineering. I am hoping to get an air slot for either next summer or next October. If any has any info on when Marines are going to be taking air contracts again that would be great!
