Strongly considering making the jump from the Navy Reserve to the Marines on a flight contract if it is extended to me. Recruiter is telling me I'll have to go to OCS and TBS (no problem, a year is a just a year). My big question is how does the Marine Aviation community culture compare to the Navy's aviation community, and how does it compare to your ground counterparts. My only interaction with Marines has been with the ground guys, so I'm just curious on how they compare once you're actually in The Fleet. I'd like to think I'm a pretty decent officer, but I'm also a pretty laid back guy and I just want to make sure I'm making right choice in communities that I will work well with. Thanks for the help Marines.
