Where we PT the Marines are there PT-ing everyday. I signed to go to Basic and AIT with the Army and come back and contract with ROTC. I am now regretting my decision to go the army route instead of the MARINE route. Everyday when I PT with the Army I see the Marines doing PT and I wish i was one of them. I cant explain how bad i want to be a Marine and serve my country as a Marine.
My question to you is would the Marine Corps Officer programs except me if i decided to get an entry level separation from the army?
My ROTC Captain told me I will never serve again if I do so. BUT it states clearly you only need a waiver for the branch you previously tried to enlist in.
My GOAL is to become an OFFICER and serve as a MARINE not an army soldier.
Please only legitimate responses. Im going to serve my country either way but id rather be a MARINE.
THanks Matt Johnson
