Also, you'll have to talk to an officer to get the full story, but I do
believe USMC officers have 2 jobs at all times.


..... Few, if any, pilots in the USMC have flying as their sole duty


When I got my wings in 1951 and joined a squadron at Cherry Point, I
was promptly made the squadron's Navigation Officer and Intelligence
Officer.

I didn't mind; it gave me something to do when not flying, and I
learned a lot.

I can't say for certain that every other pilot in the squadron had
collateral duties, but I think it was the case.
