If you make it through OCS, and you make it through TBS, and you make it through API, then you will go to primary. If you make it through primary then you select what pipeline you will go to advanced for. If you did well enough and the Marines need jet pilots then you get jets. Then if you make it through advanced you select again to find out whether you fly hornets, harriers, or prowlers. Good luck.

Oh yeah and you are probably gonna get made fun of now.

Please, let me be the first.

i want jets.
And I want to fuck Jennifer Anniston but will probably have to settle for the plain chick as there are more of them.

That being said, I'll significantly increase my odds if I do little things like checking my spelling, grammar, capitalization and punctuation. You know, the little things that make me look and sound more professional to those I'm asking for help. A little research (the search function comes in handy here....) would probably make me sound more intelligent too. If I went to Jennifer's assistant looking and acting like a lazy slob, I can guarantee you I'd have zero chance of fucking her.

Unless you bring roofies, but I don't know how that would help with his IP.

He has to get accepted to the program first. It would help significantly if his paperwork, demeanor and attitude were professional. As we always tell others who come to this site, when you want our help - post in a professional manner.

If you're just making a random post, do whatever you want. But when asking a professional for professional help, be professional.

Hmmmm punctuation noted.

I have been checking the posts and have seen a lot that says it might be better to go through means other than NROTC scholarship. I was wondering what anybody else thought on that. I was told that going through NROTC would guarantee me a spot at flight school. How exactly would that work?

And good luck with f**king Jenifer Aniston

It doesn't. You have to compete for a spot at flight school if you go ROTC. The only way to get a guaranteed flight slot with the USMC is to go to PLC or OCC.

The Navy has BDCP as well as OCS that can guarantee you a slot in Pensacola.

Is it at all possible to get a guaranteed flight contract by going through an NROTC scholarship because that is what the recruiter said, but by the look of some of theses threads you can not always trust that info.

Yes. Swanee doesn't know what he's talking about. NROTC, The Academy, PLC, and OCC all have Aviation Contract options.

But if you're good enough, you don't need an air contract to get jets. Just sayin.

Yep, the Acadermy has a Prep Schol for priors and those deemed in need of a boost to make them competitive for the real deal. Marine Coprs Uses JR/SR PLC to get folks ready....;)

PLC Juniors and Seniors is OCS.

That's so they can save on t-shirts (they all say OCS)

But if you're good enough, you don't need an air contract to get jets. Just sayin.

True that. If you go on-line with Microsft Simulator, you preguarantee your pipeline and validate IFS. It's just CNATRA catching up with on-line degree craze.

I know that OCS is hard and that a lot of training is needed to be physically ready, so does anyone have an effective training plan that they used or advice on what to work on other than running my a** off?
