Junipero think is good idea go Marines before college . . . why?
If go before, go Iraq, get killed . . . no need go college.
If go before, go Iraq, no get killed . . . government pay for you go college.
If go after, go Iraq, get killed . . . is waste of college.
If go after, go Iraq, no get killed . . . is miracle.

Go to the marines. Free education and you can still become an officer later. My husband is in the Army and they have a $20,000 student loan repayment program. I'm sure the Marines does too. So if you do go to college first be sure to look into that! Good luck!!!

First, look at your goals. What is it you want to gain out of your time in the military? Have you considered other branches, such as the Army or Coast Guard? Being an officer seems to have its advantages, but do you feel like it's something you'd be interested in or is there a skill you'd like to learn? Definitely talk to a recruiter from any branch you are considering to get more information and your questions answered. Good Luck!!

If you want to be all that you can be, go to college first. Sorry about using an army slogan to make my point, but the fact is, the more you know, and the smarter you become, the greater value you will be to the Marine Corps.

School first and ROTC helps pay for college. After college, you have tour of duty with a butter bar on each lapel, then who knows.

Get them to pay for college. College costs to much and you can always work towards being an officer during your time in the there.

the smart thing would be to go in after college. unless you want to put up with alot of bs the first couple of years until you get more rank.

realize that going first is the only way to pay for the second. Now here's the trick....realize that you won't be the same person after all those experiences...trust me. Not always so simple.

Go now while you are still young and ignorant. Once you have an education you will not want to waste you life by going to Iraq and getting killed in an illegal and immoral war.
My sympathies to your parents. Imagine how they will feel when the officer comes to their door to tell them you are dead. Or, if you survive I feel sorry for you because you might be maimed. Of course you might have such an extensive brain injury that you won't even know you are missing your arms and/or legs.
