I am going to OCS this October on a flight contract and I would like to eventually go fixed wing but I will gladly take anything the Marines offer me(If i make it). Out of curiosity I have heard that the marines are getting the F-35B in the summer of 2015. Does anyone know how the integration of a new aircraft works? At what point would they stop training f-18 and harrier pilots & how long does it take to phase out an aircraft?
