As a former active duty Marine ( 1966-1968 ) I can tell you that we are the largest Fraternity in the world. It's not an easy life in the Corps but it is very rewarding to wear the EGA ( Eagle, Globe and Anchor). I know that on a personal level the Corps has made me a better person and has given me the ability to conquer anything thrown my way. I will not jump up and down for you to enter since that is a very personal decision, I can only tell you that the pride inthe Corps continues to live in me after all these years.

1. You are serving your Country.
2. You will be earning money for college.
3. You will be proud of your service for the rest of your life.
4. The training you receive will help you land a better job on the "outside".
5. Some organizations give Veterans a preference over non-veterans when applying for the same job.

Me and you are in exactly the same situation. Im about to go into the DEP so after High School I go to the Marines. You just have to tell them that you want there support, that YOUR GOING to do it; your asking for their support and not their permission. Make sure they know your going to do it either way, and that the best thing they can do is support you; if they dont, then your still doing it.

Look them right in the eye and say(pay attention)..I...(state your full name)...want ...to...become...a...United States Marine...
This should be your only reason....if not your asking for trouble.
Don't join unless your willing to die for the Marine next to you.
