I’m considering going to Marines PLC this summer for 10-weeks. I recently talked to a Marine OSO and told him I want to become a pilot. He told me that if I complete PLC I don’t have to commit right away to the Marines, but if I want to do the PLC-Aviation option I would have to commit right away. He also said that if I do PLC-Aviation I could receive tuition assistance. I told him I would think about it and would do more research. I have found that if a person does either PLC-Aviation or Ground, they may be ordered to active duty as an enlisted Marine for not more than 4 years.

Does that mean I would have to leave college?
Could I be accepted into PLC-Aviation and not receive tuition assistance in order to avoid being called to active duty as an enlisted while in college?
I really want to become a Marine pilot, but I would like to finish my degree first. I’m just trying to understand all this before I make a decision.
