Hello ladies and gentlemen, I promise this is not a % chance question. I have looked up the mission requirements for both the fighter and hercules platform for the USMC, and like both, although they are very different. I have tried to search the forums and google, but haven't been able to find an answer.
Which platform is able to travel more? I have talked to the pilots at VT31 and they have all said they have gone to numerous countries. I haven't been able to find a jet pilot to pick their brain on. Is it true the Herc goes to more places?
Which platform is healthier? I have heard that jet pilots fly study a ton and fly once a week (sometimes none at all?) whereas Herc pilots get the most hours, second to Ospreys. However, I have also been told that all communities in the USMC fly roughly once a week.
Any other insight for these two platforms would be greatly appreciated. I just some more info for my dream sheet.
Thank you everyone,
Danielle
