USMCFLYR is correct in saying USMC enlisted are leaders but that doesn't necessarily translate that way in the civilian world. Good jobs out there for aviation maintenance guys. Like I said before, if your eyes are waiverable, than there will be a slot that will open up for you. You are already a pilot so being an NFO and never touching the stick will probably drive you nuts not to mention you will have a long contract. Just figure out what is most important to your future. Is it setting yourself up for a career as a pilot or becoming a Marine?
