Aviation Program: This program is designed for students who are interested in
becoming pilots. Those who qualify and
who are selected for this program will
be guaranteed assignment to flight training
for designation as a Marine Corps
Aviator.
You will be among the few people in the
world qualified to wear the Marine Corps
wings of gold. You will push your own
limits and those of our aircraft as you
carry out the mission of Marine Aviation
- that of close air support for ground
troops. With some aircraft capable of
doubling the speed of sound, and often
no more than 500 feet off the ground,
you will clear the way for Marines
advancing toward a target. Our ground
troops are known as the tip of the
spear, which makes our pilots and flight
officers its gleaming and lethal point

sight to become a pilot but still have a

for you. You will train for 8-10 months
at flight school in Pensacola, FL, to
master navigation, radar, on-board
computer control and electronic warfare
measures. Once assigned to an aircraft,
you will provide the pilot with the
vital information necessary to fly
through any conditions. As a Naval
Flight Officer you are guaranteed to fly
in either the F/A 18 Hornet or the EA6B
