I met with my OSO and was told that the Marines stopped offering the 6 year air contract to guys who get helo's out of flight school. As of a month ago its all 8 year commitments from the time you get your wings (Helo or Jet) as opposed to the 6 year helo and 8 year jet. So no matter what type of aircraft (helo or jet) your looking at a 10 year commitment totall.
