I will be enrolling in NROTC in the fall with the hopes of one day becoming a fighter pilot. Flying jets is my biggest motivation, but, I chose the Navy because, put simply, I would prefer working elsewear in the Navy than in the Air Force, and because I have an all around better impression of naval aviation. Truth be told though, I would love to be a Marine fighter pilot. It seems like it's slightly more difficult to be a naval fighter pilot than an AF fighter pilot, but that Marine fighter pilots are significantly less abundant than either of the other two branches, and therefore not worth the risk.
Is my perception accurate? Is going Marine option just to become a Marine Corps fighter pilot a complete waste of time? Furthermore, is switching branches before or after commissioning, when I'm better informed of the prospects of flying within a branch, an option?
