Questions about joining the Marines at 25
As the title suggests I am currently getting back into shape in order to be considered for the Marines. It has been a personal goal of mine to join the military and the Marines has always been my first choice. I am currently 25 and at the rate I am training I will be more then ready in 3 months. I have a college degree but it would not be competitive for OCS so infantry is my first choice. I've been doing loads of research already but its still hard to find personal accounts of what I would be going through as a recruit that is 6 years older then the average. I completely understand that I will have DIs and superiors younger then me and have no problem taking orders from someone who has earned that right. I was wondering if any current Marines on this board enlisted at or around 25? What was your experience like and is there any words of wisdom you could share on being an older recruit? Thank you in advance for your time.
