Woah! Saying the USMC is close to the Navy now, eh? I'd respond to the rest of your post, but unfortunately I'm too instulted too continue!
You civies really got twisted views on some things. Anyway....
Please, by all means do not take that as in insult. I know that they are 2 differant branches with way differant in and outs and what I meant
was the F/A-18's are flown by both branches, and from what I have heard from my USMC good friend, is that the requirements to be a
strike fighter pilot (height, weight, eyes, arm length, leg length, health condition, etc) are very close to the same as the Navys. Thats where
I was going. Plus I was also advised that when you go to OCS, that you have the option of going USMC or US Navy, is that correct?
