    Air Force vs. Marine Aviation

    Let me start off by saying I'm a junior in high school and I want to be a pilot (I'm most interested in the ground-attack/CAS mission), but my primary reason for joining the military is to serve and lead.

    Can I Guarantee Myself a Shot at Being a Pilot?

    Greetings all, (This is my first thread, so forgive me if I diverge from any customs or courtesies unique to this forum.) I'm a junior in high school with strong aspirations to be a fighter pilot in the Air Force, and (hopefully) a NASA astronaut at some point down the road in my career. My...
