I loved my time in the Marine Corps, in fact if I didn't love flying so much I probably would have stayed in for a career in the infantry. The point I am trying to make is that the Marine Corps is a passion,a calling almost. Pick the Corps if being a Marine is as important to you as being an aviator,otherwise joining our brothers in arms in the USAF,or the Navy,is probably an easier road to hoe. Best of luck,Godspeed, and Semper Fi,to all my fellow jarheads out there in cyberland.
Absolutely, don't join the Marines to get an airline job. Do it because you want to drop 500 lb bombs on ragheads.
