The Sundown of the United States Marine Corps Naval Flight Officer Military Occupational Specialties

Abstract

The United States Marine Corps has invested heavily in NFOs and will continue to do so until the E/A-68 and F/A-18D retire; thus, a number of Marine Corps Officers must select a new MOS. The solution for the Marine Corps is to provide NFOs, both junior and senior, greater chance for selection in the NFO to Naval Aviator transition program, UAS MC, KC-130 FCO, and as a crewmember in a light attack fixed-wing platform. The Marine Corps must act now to keep junior NFOs active in their communities and prove that all NFOs have a future in Marine Corps Aviation,
