Hello everyone!
I am currently a junior in high school and I have been planning my way to becoming a pilot for the USMC. Part of my plan involves going to PLC during college to get a guaranteed flight contract. I want to do PLC in my freshman and sophomore year rather than the 10 weeks for junior year. However, when the summer of my freshman year hits, I will only be 19 years of age, when the requirement is 20. Is there a way around this or will I just have to do the 10 weeks in my junior year instead? Also, in PLC are the flight contracts competed for or are they just given out? I've heard they are competed for in NROTC and after OCS if there are any left but I have only read that you can "get" them at PLC..
Thank you!
