If I go to TBS without an air contract, but want to fly, is there a good chance that I won't be able to get a slot? I know that they split the class up into thirds and give first picks to the people who are tops in each third. It seems to me that you need a little luck to get the MOS you want. I know this is a tough question, and depends a lot on the needs of the Marine Corps, which are constantly changing, but any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.

MOS selection at TBS

We only have a few slots for SNA and there are several Lt's competing for it. My advice to you is have your flight physical and ASTB completed before you ship to TBS. Some Lt's wait to do this right before MOS assignment and either fail the ASTB or get NPQed. When do your orders have you shiping out?

That sounds like few slots, but in reality not a whole lot of people compete for them from TBS. You can almost count on at least one of those competing will be NPQ'ed before selection too. Safe bet go with a Contract, but don't lose all hope in not being able to select from TBS. Bust your butt while there and your chances will improve GREATLY. It's not hard to do really well at TBS.
