I'm wondering: what are the exact implications of signing a Marines air contract before I have even found out if I am selected? I applied to the Air Force as pilot only and was non-select, so nothing happened. The Air Force didn't make me sign any kind of contract to apply.
My recruiter has implied that if I sign this contract and am not selected for this board, I can be "pre-selected" for an upcoming board, such as one in January. I'm shooting for a July board for Marines now, but he already has 1 air guy ready to go. I still need to take the ASTB, PFT, and flight physical.
There's a Navy board in January I'd like to apply to if I don't make it into the Marines board in July, but if I get pre-selected by the Marines, can I not apply for the Navy board in January? This would be for a job other than pilot in the Navy. The Navy has already told me I'm too old to be a pilot with them, but this Marine recruiter thinks I can get an age waiver. I'm 29.
Thank you for any help!
