So my dad's been worried that I'm not fully aware of what I'm getting myself into with the Marines, and so he had me call a friend of his who knows a little bit about what's really going on with the Marines.
That friend said that he knows a guy with a flight contract who has been to OCS and TBS, and he was waiting to go to flight school. Well, because flight school was so backed up, they just sent him to Afghanistan as an Infantry officer. What this friend wanted me to get out of that story is that you're a Marine first, and then a pilot, and that basically it's not what your contract says.. it's what they need you to do.
What can anyone tell me about this?
How often do you think this happens to air contracted marines?
