Hello Everyone,
I've been browsing Airwarriors for a couple months researching everything Navy and USMC. There is really some great info on here and thanks to everyone who contributed. The insider perspective is priceless information to OCS hopefulls like me.
Anyways, I take my ASTB in one week (12/23) and I am deciding which branch I want to join (Navy or USMC). I've looked for a thread regarding this matter but have been unable to find one (If there is one please give me a push in the right direction). I've talked to the Marine Corps OSO and plan on speaking with the Navy OSO once I take the ASTB.
I realize both Marine Corps and Naval Aviators classify as Naval Aviators but I'm assuming life is different in each branch. I know both Navy and USMC Aviators go to the same flight school(s).
My main question is how is life different as a USMC Aviator vs. a Naval Aviator once you hit the fleet? I realize this is a broad question but any tidbits of information from you experienced guys would be helpful.
Thanks!
