My friend is in primary right now and says Marines are not taking any more NFOs, is this true?

For sure, Since Marines don't have P8, are all in the strike/ strike fighter platform?I just classed up two about a month ago. I believe they are the last, but the story keeps changing. If that’s what you want to do ask for it and let them tell you no.

Yes. The D model Hornet which is being replaced by the F-35 fairly soon.For sure, Since Marines don't have P8, are all in the strike/ strike fighter platform?
I guess they finally slipped by so that should be the last of them.
Even if you do make it, it's probably career suicide. Go Navy if NFO is the path you want.
The Marine Corps will surely take flight officers... and turn them into RIFLEMEN.*
*may affect your ability to continue being a flight officer
...holy cow...so many questions.Or worse...I went through TBS in 78 and when drawdown hot our Class, picks had been made so all that was left was Motor T... in Okinawa. Infantry was not an option as it was highly competitive. I had one friend who insisted on JAG school and ultimately got it... by talking to a lawyer. Several others were USNA grads and asked to go back into Navy. After being told that wasn’t an option, they lawyered up and became Ensigns after a big contentious spat with chain of command.
...holy cow...so many questions.
Did the 2LT going for JAG get some type of paralegal or officer manager billet, or did that mean he/she automatically went straight to a civilian law school on the Marine Corps' dime? Or, did he/she already have a JD degree before attending TBS?
And for the 2LTs who went back into the Navy as ENS, I'm curious how their careers went as well.
I was curious what the different splits were for pilots and NFOS in the Marine Corps and the Navy? By splits I mean the tract that SNAs and SNFOs go into? SO for a pilot what percentage would go to helicopters, cargo, heavies, fighters, etc...In both the Navy/ Marines? For NFOs what is the break down going to strike, strike fighter, heavies, etc... In both Marine Corps and Navy?
