I am interested in joining the Marines as a career. I have done quite a bit of research, and I need some help decideing how for me to best become one of the few and the proud. I am interested in going infantry, and my first question is weather I should wait through 4 years in college and try to go in as an officer, or weather I should go inlisted active duty and go to college that way. Also, I am interested in trying out for recon eventually, but I am well aware that the vast majority of recon marines who try to make it before about 25 (I am 18) wash out, so what is the best way to prepair my self for eventually trying out for the recon indoc? I have already graduated from highschool and am currently attending a 1 year college course, any guidance that you guys can give me would be greatly appriciated. |
