Logistical Question Revolving Flight Tours
I have a strong interest in applying to be a pilot in various US branches. I’ve spent some time digging around on forums and found several mentions of how the Navy and Marines only guarantee you one flying tour, usually that being your first fleet one following primary.
Is this the case in other branches as well? How likely is it for someone to get shafted like that? Every veteran pilot I’ve spoken with has more than one tour flying. Is this one of those deals of a sour review floating to the top or is it really just random chance with the “needs of the x branch” after that first tour?
