Navy vs. Air Force pilot slot

[look4traffic]

Anyone have any idea which branch someone is more likely to get a pilot slot?

Does it matter? Apply for both. As often as you can.

Concur... you're lucky to get a shot for either.

Don't forget the USMC. Apply everywhere, take the first offer. You will never regret it.

Just remember you will have to have all that fun on Paris Island BEFORE starting flight training if you are going to fly for the USMC.

Quantico actually...

 

[bogey383]

is it possible to get a navy pilot slot, if you have a couple of skeletons in your closet, or is it not worth it? or even a commission for that matter?

 

[Huggyu2]

Naw, the Navy doesn't care! That's why they put you on that floating penitentiary.
Skeletons?? What kind??

 

[Fearless Tower]

I suppose that depends on what kind of skeletons you have.

I imagine slots with the USMC are harder to get, and yes, you are an infantry officer first. I've seen more than one pilot I know hit the sand with his M-16.
As tempted as I am to dis the Navy, I must admit I'd fly for them....but only after I declined the non-flying job the AF offered me.
