Hey y'all,
I just recently submitted my app for NAVY Aviator (SNA & NA) but I also want to look into the MARINES ... don't wanna put all my eggs in one basket. I am obviously going to speak with a recruiter but I was hoping I could get some insight first so I don't go in there blind. Here are a few questions that I have:
1. Are Aviation slots really tight right now (as much as the other branches)
2. Age reqs. I'm 27 ... I've been told I can get in with a waiver.
3. What are the reqs for the PRT. Is the actual PRT different from the NAVY's (push ups/sit ups/ 1 1/2 mile run). And I have been seeing posts about PRT's and people will say for ex: they have a PRT of 250. What does this mean?
4. I've been reading a bunch of the posts and have seen the ones about the board meetings that are coming up. Are there only a few per year and if so when are they.
5. Do they care about previous flight time or is it trivial.
6. Can I apply to more than one branch of the military at the same time or will that put a bad taste in everyones mouth.
If anyone has any other info that I failed to touch on I would love to hear it. Any help you guys can provide will put a big fat smile on my face (haha). But serioulsy ... I'd really appreciate any info that you guys could provide. Thanks and good luck to all!!
Peace,
