Hello I am a current Air Force cadet that may switch to NROTC Marine option (reasons are long and not related to post) but I am curious how pilot slots work. I tried doing research but everything I found was unrelated to my situation. Does a person apply for rated slots like in AFROTC? If so do they win lets say I pilot slot or slot for other jobs and are trained in that area when they commission or is this an Air Force only thing? Lastly, does the Marine option have field training during the summer like afrotc or no? Someone from NROTC told me yes, but I also read somewhere no so I don't know who is correct. Thanks for helping an idiot!
