New Here; Have a Few Questions
Good evening ladies and gentleman! I`m new here, and first off, I just wanted to say thank you to all of you for serving our country. Also, thank you in advance for being willing to help a wannabe out and giving advice. I`m only 15, so I`ve still got a few years, but I`m always trying to learn more about joining the Marines.
I definitely want to attend college some point for a journalism degree, but I don`t know if I should become enlisted and attend college after I get out, or try to become an officer by NROTC, OCS, or PLC. The way I see it, the benefits from enlisting would definitely help me pay fro college, and if I could get an NROTC scholarship, that would also be very helpful, considering your tuition is paid, but OCS or PLC could work out if I had finanical aid.
I also know that a select few can go from enlisted to officer, but that`s pretty hard to do, am I correct? In a way, I could see myself doing that, because I think it might be a good idea to be enlisted for a while, and then maybe become an officer.
I`m sorry I`m so wishy-washy about whether I`d like to become an enlistee or officer, but no matter what, I most definitely would like to become a Marine.
I appreciate any advice from anyone. Thank you.
