This thread is ridiculous.
1) Be more specific about your profile. "Sometime in February" is unsat for a shipdate. If you were so excited, you would know your specific date.
2) It is "Marines," not "marines."
3) What is your specific question? We can't tell you every single little detail about everything related to the Marine Corps. You need to ask specific questions, after doing a search to see if they have already been answered.
After those three things have happened, you will get specific answers.

Sorry and for one i havent been on here for a while and that that was outdated info and that was in 2008 and first question is am i able to change to another Mos after 2 years or once you pick a mos you are stuck with it since i want to be skilled in several areas. and can you go to college on active duty.

You can do a lat-move to another MOS after two years in the Marine Corps. That means two years from the day you went to boot camp.
And yes, you can take college classes while on active duty, although you probably won't be a full-time student, and it depends on many things (command discretion, deployment schedule, location, etc.).
Your profile is still lacking. Are you a poolee? If so, you need to post your shipdate. Put as much info in there as possible. The info being asked for on the profiles is not incriminating in any way.
Hurry up and wait...There, that's everything.
Sometimes one wonders about the statement ; "There's no such thing as a stupid question."

You already know enough to have reached this point in your life, the rest of your knowledge on how to deal with the real world will be forthcoming.
