I know that the Marines offer guranteed aviation contracts.

However, I have heard from a Marine recruiter that you must spend 1 year on the ground and then fly for 3 years. So basically you are a grunt or "infantry" person on the front line who flies.

Is this true? Do the marines put their officers on the front line?

Any advice or insight about Marine aviation would be helpful. (Typical day as an officer, pay, chances of getting desired aircraft...)

Thanks everyone!
