Hello, Marines. First of all I would like to thank you for your service and I hope one day I can join you all and be one of the few and proud Marines.
A little info about me that you may need to know:
I am currently 16 years old and will be 17 in December. I would love to be able to sign a contract while 17 but I plan on enlisting into the buddy system with a fellow friend of mine who just turned 16 today so I'm willing to wait a year so we could experience becoming a Marine together. Also my mom wants me to explore other options such as the Air Force :sick: but is 100% supportive on me going to the military and would be disappointed if I didn't go.
I attend a military school under the Army JROTC. I am currently a c/SSG and the Supply SGT (S-4/Logistics) soon to be Supply Officer once the school inspection comes through. I have met my local recruiter at the school since he occasionally comes by and I joined a discussion with my fellow cadets with him a year ago. Well since I'm spilling my guts I might as well get a bit more personal. I'm on the color guard, armed drill team, and Raiders team (We do rope bridges, PT tests, mile run, orienteering, 3 mile platoon run, etc.)
I used to be a fat body but over the years of going there I have developed my fat into muscle so I'm pretty big but muscular. I'm about to get a deep more personal, I smoke marijuana and I know how the military is a zero tolerance zone for drugs so I'm committed to stop after this year and I guess have to do the more harmful alternative alcohol once I'm in.
But that's me. Was wondering if me attending a military school, being s-4, on many teams, etc. would put me in a good position and have a higher chance to join since I know the Marines are downsizing. Also I would love to have the job field 03xx.
Thanks, Marines.
