Most services only have commissioned officers as pilots, and a degree is a requirement of being a commissioned officer. However, it is possible to fly as a Warrant Officer - most Army helicopter pilots are Warrant Officers, rather than commissioned officers.

Can enlisted marine switch to air force officer?
No. The only way to become an Air Force officer after being an enlisted Marine is to finish your contract and join the Air Force. Of course, you must have your degree to become a commissioned officer in any branch of service and the maximum age is 23 to enroll in a military prep school and be an officer. It can be difficult to move up the ranks so when you switch, you will lose your rank and that might not be (for lack of a better word) "motivating" for you.
What is the process for a person in the navy at Rank E-5 to be commissioned as a O-2?
Getting commissioned to O-2 isn't going to happen first - you need to still become an Ensign or Warrant Officer first and work your way up the officer chain. This is why many Senior Enlisted sailors (myself included as an E-6) felt being a Senior Enlisted was preferable to being a Junior Officer. The person would have to go through one of the several Officer Candidate programs (Seaman to Admiral, OCS, etc.) in order to go through the process to gain a commission. Evaluations and recommendations of current superiors will weigh heavily on any decision to accept or reject. Essentially, 4.0 evals, distinguished record and outstanding military bearing and attitude are required. One of my first Division Chiefs went through and got commissioned - he was about as good as they get when it comes to being militarily smart. It's too bad he wasn't that great at fixing stuff, but as an officer he didn't need to worry about that anyway.

Do you salute an army warrant officer?
Technically an Officer Candidate outranks every enlisted rank. However, they are not officers and you do not salute them. In some situations on a post if the Officer Candidate School trainers deem it necessary, they may make passerby's salute the candidates if they are being disrespectful. This really depends on the SOP of the post, but in general the answer is no.
