It's just fancy pictures on the side of their helmets.

Yeah. Once again, I'm a freshman so I'll probably enroll in JROTC. Because real ROTC is in college. The only thing I'm worried about is if I wash out of flight school, they'll most likely reclassify me as a supply officer or some other MOS I didn't want or didn't consider for that matter. I'm not gonna settle for anything except a combat arms MOS.

We all know fighter pilots have had tactical call signs since the test of time... but how do you guys feel about helmet art? No pilot ever seems to have it on his/her helmet.

After taking and passing the written air test (whatever that is), I know the USMC will guarantee you a spot as an aviator. But the problem is is that I wear contacts, so is that gonna be a problem for selection?

Oh you know what I think I meant by ROTC in HS. I probably meant JROTC. Forgot the J.

Thanks for the help. Yeah that's the problem about wanting to be a USMC fighter because most people just mostly know about Navy and Air Force. So you can't take ROTC in HS? I'll have to look into the USNA. Thanks, appreciate it!

Hiya folks. I'm starting my freshman year in HS and I'm definitely gonna try out for some ROTC there. But besides going to OCS, and getting some good grades, what other things are good to have to achieve being a fighter pilot? By the way, I'm not talking about joining the USAF. I'm planning on being a USMC aviator. I understand the USMC ...
