jim id like to talk to you about something in e-mail or yahho messenger if possible.

I'm not sure exactly what you meant by the question. Yes, NROTC is mostly naval as far as the numbers go...but the Marines play big role in training the Navy. They also have to train the Marine midshipmen. B/c they're all in one unit, there's a lot of interaction cross-service. Nearly everything is done as ONE UNIT.

thanks USN-MID, that answered my question.

I'm currently a reservist assigned to the National Air and Space Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton, OH, but I live in northern Virginia just north of Quantico MCB. My email is displacedj@aol.com Displacedjim

I'd like to lay this out. Talk to any Marine and 99% will tell you the officers they respect the most are mustangs. Not only do you know how the enlisted think and work, you have some experience in the fleet before being in that leadership postition. Most officers have no clue what the hell they are doing when they get to the fleet, its nothing like academy or whatever school they go to. Even if you only reach the rank of Capt after crossing over to the dark side, you will still make more then most in your grade due to time in service. Another option you should look at is doing your enlisted and switching over to Warrant Officer. But wait it gets better, after that you can still proceed on to the rank of Capt (O-3) and make some mad bank. Just some thoughts for someone whos seen a little from the modern day corps.
