Alright, I'm a Junior in High school, with my Senior year coming around the corner. I've been considering the Marines since i was six years old, and I haven't stopped. My plan as of now is to go to College, and at the end of my Junior year there I would go into OCS or PLC, I haven't decided yet. I would finish that over the summer, and then finish my Senior year of College (I'm pretty sure how that works, so correct me if i'm wrong). Then,I'd go wherever I'm sent. The MOS' i'm most interested in are ones involving armor, or becoming a part of ANGLICO (Air Naval Gun Liason Comapny).
If any of this seems wrong to you guys, feel free to correct me.

How are your grades?
Better learn some good study habits and study hard.

Leadership. Do you have any community involvements? Eagle Scout? Football wrestler? Class President?

I have a 3.6 GPA
No boy scouts, no football, no wrestling, I had held several offices in extra-cirricular activites however.

Chess club doesn't count, sorry.
Don't worry so much about it - you aren't even in your Senior year yet. That being said, we'll see how long you last in here.................................IF you're hell bent on being a Marine, stick around.

No chess club. President of the paintball club. Vice President of DECA. Vice President of Skills USA. Captain of the varsity track team.

Captain of Track! Now we are getting somewhere. Though study of chess has great tactical value. Leadership is the key. Do you have it ingrained to be a leader?
OCS will prepare you to leader a dozen hard charging fire eaters ready to kill then eat the young of our enemies. And they will eat you alive if you don't have the stones to lead them with strength confidence, bearing, and respect.

Pretty much what my recruiter told me when my parents had left.
