I am trying to get a reserve pilot slot but i didn't do so well on my afoqt scores for the airforce reserve unit. I wana take the test again but i was also wondering if its possible to take a similar test for the marines or coast guard does anyone know any links to any coast guard or marine web sites to help me look into this.

how about www.gocoastguard.com and www.marines.com?

Have you tried talking to your unit's career counselor? (seeing that you listed Air Force as your occupation)

if you didn't do well on the AFOQT you probably won't fare well (not saying you aren't) as a Marine officer - the Marine's test isn't a written test - it's a 6 week physical and emotional evaluation of character at OCS/Bulldog in Quantico.

You can do Marine OCS in 1 ten week sessions, or 2 six week sessions.
Pilot candidates have to take the ASTB.

Is it hard to get into the Marines pilot school?

JohnRevere,

If you're in Southern California I can give you a tour of a military airfield.

It is the same flight training as the navy. Marine pilots and navy pilots are known as "Naval Aviators". Although the cadets who are Marines are just that- Marines!
After you finish pilot training then you go to specific training for either fixed or rotary for the Corps.
