Navy Or Marine Pilot?

[cthump]

I want to be a pilot and I'm currently thinking navy but I don't really know the details of the differences in the branches Navy or Marines and wonder if someone with some experience could enlighten me??? can I apply for both in case I'm only accepted into pilot training for one?

I'm 23 with my private pilot certificate and should have my instrument and twin rating in a few months. I love flying and would like to use that passion to serve my country and hopefully make a positive impact for mankind, rather then just going commercial pilot and try to make a living. I just started studying for he atsb and figure my scores will give me a better idea of my chances.

If you want to fly the meanest most badass aircraft that ever flew the skies, aka the KC-130 Hercules, join the Marine Corps.

Otherwise use the search function!

If you want to fly to the cushest locations, score the most per diem, and eat gourmet meals while in flight, then you want to fly the KC-130 Hercules, and you have to join the Marine Corps.

Fixed it for you.
