Hey. I think similar threads may exist, but I have specific questions that I would like to have answered, so please bare with me.
One thing that is keeping me from enrolling in Army ROTC (my school has no NROTC) is the burning desire within me to be a naval aviator. Were I to attempt this, I would simply enlist in the Marine Corps after graduation, go to officer candidate school, etc.
There are two things I would like to do in the military: Be an infantry/special forces officer and to fly. I have heard of naval aviators in the Marine Corps taking a tour of duty to command MARSOC teams, but I guess my question is, how rare is this? How feasible is it to be a naval aviator in the Marine Corps, and traverse back and forth between flying assignments in the fleet and MARSOC/Marine infantry?
Also, when such transitions in the past have occurred, what sort of addition training/schools have said naval aviators received before commanding/joining MARSOC teams? (Airborne School, Ranger School, etc.)
