I am going into my senior year of high school and have been giving thought to becoming a marine officer, a pilot if possible. I am fairly athletic and have a 1330 on the SAT. I plan on attending college for 4 years, in the Corps of Cadets at Texas A&M. I have answered most of my questions already from talking to a recruiter and visiting the marine site, but these are the few that I could not find an answer to
If I wish to become an aviator, would I go to PLC or OCS? When?
My vision is ok, I need glasses to see the board in class though. Would I need to get eye surgery? I would guess my vision is 20/60 or 20/80.
I have absolutly no flight experience and do not plan in majoring in anything to do with flight, would that matter much?
With my grades, what are the chances of getting a pilot spot and getting my first or second choice of aircraft? (F35 and Hornet)
I know this is asking a lot and I would very much appreciate answers to some or all these questions. Thanks
