It sounds like a great way to not only be a Marine, but to be guarenteed a pilot slot!

However, it almost sounds to good to be true. There must be some kind of competition, is there? Also, I heard the sooner you start, the better your chances (I'm already 2.5 years away from graduating college, but still have a "few" pounds to lose...) And I read somewhere about marine vs. naval aviator contract (I didn't understand it, like one is better?). And what about GPA? Will a 3.0+ work?

Any help here?
