Good Afternoon Ladies and Gnetleman,
First off I apologize for this question. I have been apart of a usmc ocs pool trying to get a commission into the USMC in efforts to land a pilot spot. Of course my parents are dead set against it and are pressuring me to apply for Navy OCS and try to be a pilot in the Navy. I know right now Pilots are in high demand for the USMC and the chances of being one are very high (assuming I pass the ASTBE and get medically qualified, etc). I talked to a friend of mine who was trying to be a pilot in the Navy and I heard they are turning everyone away looking to be pilots or NFOs and are in very high demand for logistics and supply officers. Does anyone know what the current acceptance rate for SNA spots are for the Navy right now? Tried searching for it and could not find anything. What are the main differences between USMC and Navy aviation? Sorry for the vague question just trying to get info on both before making a decision. Thoughts on choosing one over the other?
Thanks all.
Good Afternoon
