Advice for Enlisted Reserves/Active to Officer
Hello Marines,
I have had this plan in mind now for a while, its just a matter of time before it happens. My plan is to go Reserve Enlisted after highschool, try to go through the PLC program in college and after that decline my opportunity to become an Officer so that I can go serve another 4 years active duty Enlisted. If i enjoy the Corps enough I will want to try and go Officer route after all my enlisted experience, and hopefully already have 1 if not more deployments under my belt.(This is assuming all goes well) I've talked to a few career Marines and they told me it would be better to do my reserves or active duty through college and then go officer route, instead of doing another 4 years after college and then trying to go Officer route. I'm just trying to get as many opinions as I can get before I make any final decisions. Any advice or opinions is greatly appreciated!
