The primary purpose for the Marine Corps T/C Training Program is to balance aviator inventories with future Marine Corps requirements. The program also provides NA’s and NFO’s with the opportunity to seek either a lateral move to a career broadening aviation military occupational specialty (MOS) or an assignment to a follow-on MOS once their primary MOS (PMOS) has become obsolete. The program strives to provide equal opportunities for all aviators to complete a full aviation career.

Although T/C training may be desirable by individuals as a career broadening endeavor, Marine Corps aviation MOS inventory requirements and the availability of training assets by type aircraft determine the opportunities for T/C.
