Hey all, here's my query.
I'm a half American, half British 17 yr old student. I've been brought up in England for my entire life but I have dual citizenship. Since early 2002, the Marine Corps has been my calling ever since I met a 2nd cousin who was a Marine Captain. From then on I've spent frequent evenings talking about, thinking about and reading about the Marine Corps. Anyway, as a 17 yr old in England (thats Junior year of High-School for those in the US) I'm not sure how to approach this. Whatever happens, I intend to move to the US which I consider my home, but the question remains - Should I go to college and become an officer through OCS, or should I go straight to Enlisted recruit training?
People I know have told me to go to college and go for OCS due to the fact that I've had a really good education, but I'm still not sure...fortunately I've got time to make up my mind but any help would be much appreciated.
