Hi! As I'm sure you know, the Marines are on land, sea, and air. They have fighters on Navy carriers, and those fighters are operated by Marine officers/pilots. NASA is just a far off thing to shoot for. The most important thing is that I enjoy whatever it is that I will do during my time as an officer. If I end up as a Marine infantry or intelligence officer, I will be just as happy. And who knows? I may end up as a naval aviator (in the actual Navy, they're called naval aviators in the USMC, too). The most astronauts have come from Air Force, Navy, Marines, Army, and Coast Guard, in that order. But I am not going to base my service selection on something that isn't guaranteed.

Thank you for your advice. :)
