Can an enlisted Marine become an officer via OCC and go on to fly rotary-wing?

Going to try to condense this as much as possible, as it is rather long.

The little brother of the girl I am seeing just graduated college. He decided he wanted to be a Marine too late to go to PLC and is unlikely to obtain an OCC slot, due to his GPA. However, he is rather dedicated to becoming a Cobra pilot, so he decided to enlist in the Marine Corps, serve for a period of time, possibly get another degree and go to OCC then, with every intention of becoming a pilot. My question is, simply enough, can this be done?

I am posting this out of a concern that the recruiter, and I mean no offense by this, may have sold him a bill of goods. Both of my brothers are service members, but they have no insight on the enlist to pilot route, as neither of them attempted this.

Thank you for the help.
