WHY GO MARINE?

• All aircraft are part of the big picture. We do
  not have any boring aircraft.
• Closer ties with ground side (The Basic School).
• We provide better support to the Marine on the
  ground because we understand them.
• More flexible - more missions.
• Flight leads have greater responsibility and
  authority.
• We are Marines who happen to be pilots, not
  pilots who happen to be Marines!
