Hey guys,
This is my first post and I hope I'm posting in the correct section.
Well, I spoke to an "enlisted" Marine Corps officer recruiter at my college today, and I am a little confused. To make a long story short he told me that I, being a college senior and interested in OCC, would be unable to get an aviation contract because I am too old, even though he told me the age limit for aviators is younger than 28 by the time you get pinned with wings. He also showed me a chart with contract numbers for the next few OCC classes, and there were available aviation contracts for the next few classes. I understand that they fill the bulk of contracts with those participating in PLC, but I observed that they do get a few OCC SNA contracts.
I presume the recruiter decides who he is going to give the contracts, and not some contract selection board, considering he told me I'm too old to be competitive at 23?
Thanks guys,
Bill
