The first step to becoming a pilot is to enlist with the Marines and hold a bachelor’s degree. The applicant must also be a commissioned officer at the rank of second lieutenant and between the ages of 18 and 27 years, as well as a US citizen.
Applicants must pass medical and physical fitness tests, as well as the aviation physical. Once a candidate is cleared for flight school they will have to complete either officer's training or platoon leaders school, then go to The Basic School in Quantico, Virginia.
Flight school consists of four different stages, starting with pre-indoctrination, which lasts six weeks. Then there are three different levels of flight training, consisting of beginner, intermediate, and advanced, which will have the candidate spending hundreds of hours in the classroom and flight simulators, as well as real aircraft.
