Funny Thing Just Happened...

The reason for the sudden change in attitude by the marines is possibly the new tattoo policy that just came out a few months ago (and therefore the change in attitude about them). I am a flight contract candidate (usmc) and I wouldnt trade it for anything. I love the people, all the other oc's that i meet, and all that jazz. Nobody can really tell you whats right for you, we can just all tell you that we love the tracks we are on. There were a few guys in my j class that were in your situation and all but 1 dor'd --bc they didnt know what service they wanted. As has been said a hundred times on this site, you will be an officer of whatever service you choose FIRST. and a pilot or nfo or whatever second.

btw i cant imagine that the marines are terribly desperate right now, everytime i go into the oso the board is crammed with people trying to get into the program. also- every plc class has 2 pilot slots and 1 nfo slot, so they are not terribly easy to get. I barely snatched mine before 2 other guys trying to get it went through meps.

whatever path you choose, good luck
 
Update

Well, picked up my orders yesterday, I can't believe it's happened but I'm finally heading to Quantico this Saturday with a pilot slot. I guess everything happens for a reason after all. Wish me luck, it's gonna be cold. :icon_smil

Way to go dude! Good luck and I hope to see you in P-cola on the other side.
 
Thanks guys, I just got the underarmour cold gear I ordered a few minutes ago.

I checked the forecast for Quantico on Sunday, Hi 22, low 14 :eek:.

I hope the cold gear and thorlo socks help out, I'm contemplating bringing my hockey skates for the Quigley :D
 
I hear Quantico is beautiful this time of year ... best of luck bro.
 
Good on you for sticking to your guns for what you truly wanted. Congrats and good luck!
