Hello, first of all I want to say that I did browse most stickies and couldn't find concrete answers to my questions, and the more I read the more of an anxiety attack I seem to get.
I want to be a Jet Pilot, yes, you've heard it before.
I'm 18 y/o and I've already signed for the Marine Corps, I ship April 13th to BC. I have an ASVAP score of 82 and a DLAB score of 132 (I had concidered being a crypto linguist) I am fairly smart. I was reading the qualification requirements for Officers/Pilots and I meet the USMC Officer requrements (ASVAB and SAT part at least) But I was wondering if I am already screwed on becoming a pilot? I know I need to first become an officer but was it a mistake to sign first instead of going to college for 4 years and then signing? I feel sick because it's as if I am finished before ever even starting, and I will be stuck with some BS MOS.
My recruiter isn't much help, after I signed I can't get him on the horn for the life of me, and he just seems really sketchy in general. I am getting the impression that to become a pilot I will first have to get through BC, my MOS job school and then get the Marine Scholorship, get a BA and then go to OCS and the finally flight school? Is this how it works? Can someone please inform me, or at least tell me I'm not entirely screwed...Perhaps someone knows who I can call/contact?
I am not posting here because of a lack of effort using search bars, but because I wan't it from the mouths of people who really know
Thanks in advance fellas.

Wow, just got back from there and that site has seriously the most awful designer ever. It's such a cluster-**** it's laughable. I couldn't find any discernable information of value after spending over an hour there. The search bar was an exercise in futility as well.
Is there any MOS I can shoot for that would help me in eventually climbing into a cockpit?
Thanks again guys registering here brought me the relief I needed to sleep at night :thumbsup:
An AF site should be lots of help for him concerning the Marine Corps. We'll see if he joins our cluster **** site.
