Enlisted or Officer?

[robbins01]

Hi, I've been in the DEP for about 2 months now and I ship May 17th, I'll be a reserve for the duration of school. I scored a 99 on my ASVAB and I'm currently running a 254 PFT, I'm a sophmore in college and I have straight A's and I've had ambitions of becoming an officer. But the more I'm around all the recruiters and the guys who come back from MCRD and from the Fleet I'm reminded of how my time as a Marine will be different than theirs. I wanna experience the comradarie and the brotherhood they have and sometimes I think I'll miss a part of that. I feel like just saying **** it and going active duty...

Am I just a misguided fool?

No. Do what's right for you. But know this, if you go enlisted, you WILL eventually have some regrets. You could always apply for MECEP while on active duty in the fleet.

But, that's your call.
