College student or recent graduate with your sights set higher?
Marine Corps Aviation offers a direct path from campus to the cockpit.
If you have (or are earning) your bachelor’s degree, you can compete for a flight contract that guarantees the opportunity to attend Naval Flight Training. Your journey starts with Officer Candidates School (OCS), where you’ll be evaluated on leadership, academics, and physical fitness. Upon commissioning as a Second Lieutenant, you’ll report to The Basic School before heading to flight school in Pensacola to begin earning your Wings of Gold.
The process is competitive — but so is anything worth doing.
• Bachelor’s degree (or currently enrolled)
• Competitive GPA & ASTB scores
• Strong physical fitness
• Medical qualification for aviation
• Proven leadership potential
From there: Preflight Indoctrination → Primary Flight Training → Advanced Pipeline (Jets, Helicopters, or Tiltrotor).
If you’re ready to lead Marines and fly some of the most advanced aircraft in the world, let’s talk.
