I’m Marine Corps veteran I’m almost done with school and I plan on going back into the military to fly planes, my passion. My question, is the Marine Corps the only branch of service that guarantees aviation if you pass the military flight aptitude skills test? The AF won’t take prior service so that leaves Navy, Marine Corps, and the Coast Guard. The Army only flies rotary wing, I want to fly fixed wing. I would like to explore other branches since I am a Marine vet. But I would not mind going back to the Corps if they are the only branch of service that guarantees aviation. And I’m sure I would pass OCS and TBS with flying colors.

Is the Marine Corps the only branch of service that guarantees aviation?

Thanks all

Now I know that a newly commissioned 2nd Lt must take whatever MOS awarded to them by the USMC, and is lucky for it. But I’m wondering if there are any specific qualities that could get a certain Specialty barring any predetermined contract like Aviation or Law. I’m thinking like a certain degree from college or a certain test score on a military test ( ASVABs for enlisted right?) or hows that work?

How do they decide a Marine Officers specialty?

If a marine stays in the military for 20years is it possible for him to keep the same job and the same place the whole time? My boyfriend is in Aviation and He is stationed really close to me and his parents. If he does more than his 4 years can he keep his job and the location of it for how ever long he wants to stay?

What does the term “short and final” mean in aviation? Is it a specific amount of time or distance? Is it different for planes versus helicopters?

What are the universities that offers PhD in aviation related subjects?

I want to do a PhD in an aviation subject? Can I skip the masters and go to PhD after I do the bachelors degree?

I am presently doing my bachelors degree in B.Sc (Hons) Business Information Technology.

I’m just finishing my first year of college and not sure i really like it. I’ve always wanted to join the marines, I don’t want to sound like a pussy or anything but I’m not into doing the Infantry jobs…is it a good idea to join and do maybe Admin or aviation?

Ok I’m a sophomore in High School. I plan to graduate a year early. I want to become an airline pilot for someone like United or Northwest. I have always loved flying and it runs in my family. I was wondering, what is a good path to becoming a pilot? Any specific universities in the U.S. that you recommend? Any help is much appreciated.

For the record, I make good grades and have made a 28 on the ACT but I will take it once again.
