hey, i was told that to become a marine fighter pilot you only need a GPA of 2.0 instead of the navy or AF where its 3.8 is that true? i am a sophomore in highschool and looking to get into the USAFA . i am also currently working on my EAGLE Rank for boyscouts but if i dont make eagle does anyone know if LIFE rank will be at any help? and for what i was talkin about earlier isnt the marines part of the navy so for the 2.0 GPA can someone clear that up for me?  Thanks, Matt

No, whoever told you that you need a 2.0 is dead wrong.  The Marines are part of the Navy.  You still need to be an officer, which means going Marine OCS, NROTC with Marine Option, or USNA...all of which are competitve college programs.

Life is good, but Eagle is MUCH better.  You still have time, so DO IT.
