Needs some help...

[tanner123]

Hey everyone
I am looking for some help about my future plans. I am 16 years old and have been researching the Marines for a long time, I have always wanted to join the military and have already decided fully that the Marines is the path I want to go. But with researching what I want to do for the USMC, I have run into a little road block.
I wanted to be an infantry officer for the marines, but didn't want to end it there, I want to be the best of the best. So I was planning on also being a Force Recon Scout Sniper, and I have done plenty of research on both subjects and feel great about them. I am very dedicated to my decision sticking to a strict workout plan, and doing ever bit of research I can to prepare myself.
But I was told that I would not be allowed to be an Infantry Officer and then become designated as a Scout Sniper. Is there any way that I could go through with both of my goals???
Any help or Information would be greatly appreciated.
thanks for everything [=

Oh god kid. listen. Read the sticky's about scoutsniper/force recon/ricky rambo/badass. I'm gonna give it to you nicely, worry about bootcamp first. Then SOI, then try out for RIP if you still want to. You have alot of decisions ahead of you. My advice, take the beatings these Marines are sure to give you for this post, move on, learn from it, never ask it again, fill your head with knowledge, enlist and ship to boot.

Will us poolees ever learn?-

Oh I was attached to 2nd Recon for a while, as a Traker does that count hehehehehe

Can you do it? I doubt it- why would the Marine Corps want someone to be a scout sniper or an officer of Marines when they cannot follow simple rules on a website?

Simple answer, enlist and become a sniper- then apply for OCS after you get a degree.

Good luck, kid. I'm still waiting for an opening in the Fantastic Four. Until then, I'm stuck with the Justice League of America.

In order to be Recon, you must stand at attention (with broomstick in hand), click your heels 3 times while saying "I wanna be Recon, I wanna be Recon, I wanna be Recon"

Tanner, First off you got to finish school with high marks. Get into sports and extra curricular that will put you into Leadership positions.

Be sure to learn how to swim. Make pushing yourself harder in everything a way of life for you. So at 16 you will have 6 years of personal training. Then you MAY be ready for Marine OCS Training.
