Several months ago my OSO told me I am not eligible for Marine OCS due to a felony charge on my record, but that if there was suddenly a pilot shortage then the Marine Corps would get lenient and allow people with felony charges eligibility.
I am reading more and more articles about the Middle East and ISIS and how it is looking like a ground war is unavoidable if we want to bring them down. On top of this, I heard from a US Marshal (whose son is in the Air Force) that several bases are being constructed or refurbished in the Middle East by private contractors in preparation for a big increase in military operations there again.
So I just want to ask if anyone can say whether or not this is the case. I hope i'm not posing too revealing of a question so please by all means delete the thread if I am.
Although I made some piss poor decisions as a kid, my heart is absolutely set on become a Marine Corps aviator. Other than bothering my OSO every few months, how can I know when or if the entrance requirements for OCS and air contracts get relaxed?
