Quick Question

I'm currently a criminal justice major and I'm highly interested in becoming a Marine officer and aviator.

Considering my non-technical major, is it possible to get an air contract?

You only have to worry about that if you're going USN or USAF side.

No way man, I'm on the Navy side, SNA, and I was a Psych. major. I think they have this magic formula that they use to determine who gets SNA and SNFO slots, because I can't figure it out for the life of me based on my numbers. Maybe luck has something to do with it. Or PFM.

Well, I never said the Navy or Air Force didn't take non-tech degrees. You're just more competitive to pick up an OCS slot with a tech or science degree.

aaah....OCS. I went the ROTC route, so my grades in high school mattered for that. But I'm not sure how different it is for ROTC/OCS guys to get a SNA slot. I would guess that the Navy pulls primarily from USNA/ROTC, and it would be more challenging for OCS guys to get into the pipeline, but there are a lot of OCS guys here, so who knows....
