First of all I want to say I look I admire the Marines since I was in grade school. I am almost done with my Mechanical Engineering degree from UNC Charlotte and wanted to know a couple things that have been coming across my mind prior to joining the Marines.
1. I would really like to do something in the Infantry field. If I go through the officers program how likely would I be to get an Infantry MOS?
2. I have something wrong w/ my knees it wears my cartiladge or something and I take a couple non-perscription supliments such as Glucosamine sulfate, MSM, and calcium which dramatically make them feel better. I run 3-5 miles a day to keep myself in shape but I fear what will happen if I am unable to take the suppliments in boot camp. Will I be allowed to use them or not?
3. How likely is a request granted if a Marine wants to be deployed overseas such as Iraq, Afganistan, etc...?
I would appreciate any comments or criticisims regarding my questions. Thank you and keep up the great work wherever you are Marines!
