Ever dreamed of being a pilot? Save lives with a med evac helicopter? Deploy for an attack mission from a carrier? Carry troops safely to & from their missions? You may think of the Marines as a ground-fighting force, but the Marine Corps relies on a number of sophisticated air assets to support Marines before, during, and after their missions.
The Marine Corps is in need of pilots, for both helicopter & fixed wing aircraft. No flying experience is necessary. What you do need is the aptitude to learn, the work ethic to transform your skillset, and the dedication to support your fellow Marine.
The Marine pilot is trained in being a Marine first and will gain valuable combat leadership experience on the ground through Officer Candidate School and The Basic School. Below you can learn about the training program that will prepare you to not just fly, but to become a Marine.
Training Program, from Day 1 to Advanced After completing Officer Candidates School or Platoon Leaders Class, an aviator candidate will have a guaranteed spot in flight school in Florida, where his or her training will proceed in stages:
The Basic School: All Marine Officers attend The Basic School (TBS) in Quantico, Va, before moving onto pilot training.
Pre-indoctrination: This six-week phase includes an introduction to aerodynamics, aviation physiology, engines, navigation and land and sea survival in classrooms at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Fla.
Primary flight training: A candidate’s first in-air experience is at Whiting Field in Milton, Fla., in a T-34C. Prospective pilots each spend 67 hours in the air, including four solo flights, as well as 27 hours on a flight simulator. Another 166 hours of classroom work attending flight support lectures round out the instruction. At the close of this training, candidates are picked, partly based on grades and aptitude, for flight training on one of three aircraft: jets, helicopters or turbo-props.
Intermediate Training: Those selected to fly helicopters or turbo-props will receive an additional 26 hours of instruction on the T-34, with emphasis on radio and navigation training. Those selected to fly jets will proceed to the Naval Air Station in either Kingsville, Texas, or Meridian, Miss. There, they will take five weeks of ground school, including instruction in meteorology, visual flight rules, and safety. From there, trainees will progress to the T-2C or T-45 for hands-on training in aerobatics, gunnery, radio communication, and catapult take-offs.
Advanced Training: Jet pilots will then spend 92 hours in the TA-4 or T-45, focusing on performing combat maneuvers and night flights. Those with a concentration in turbo-props will head to Corpus Christi, Texas, for a 20-week course that requires 88 hours of flight time on the multi-engine T-44 Beech Queen Air. Another 20 hours of instruction using flight simulators and 182 hours of classroom time are also required. Those bound for helicopters will report to South Whiting Field to do their flight training on the TH-57B/C Bell Jet Ranger, where they’ll log another 116 hours in the air. After this phase, candidates finally earn their wings.
Any candidate seeking entry into officer training programs must have a combined Math and English SAT score of at least 1,000, a composite ACT score of 22, or an Armed Forces Qualification Test score of at least 74 on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery. He or she also must pass the Navy/Marine Corps Aviation Selection Test Battery to become a Marine pilot.
