[quote="Cpt. Zapotoski":16065]Bean 2, I was thinking about going to college and then the Marines but I said fuck that and just signed up. College can always come later and there is always a chance I might just make a career out of the Marines as enlisted. Veterans always told me they respect Officers who went enlisted first and then went Officer. So that's what I'm doing.[/quote:16065]

I'd ask about nrotc marine option scholarships and go to college before you join the marines, because after spending 4-6 years in the corps (or longer) you might not be up for college, not to mention you will have forgotten everything you learned in high school. You got a fucking 1210 on your sat so your in good shape i only got an 1170 and i got it, but you better hurry the last nrotc marine option scholarship board meets the end of this month, so you better hurry your ass up. As for getting more respect out of doing enlisted first...it might be true, but if your a good officer and can relate to your men, then you will have their respect.

EDIT:
Almost forgot...if you arent in good shape then u probably should forget about the nrotc scholarship you gotta perform well on the pft as part of the scholarship requirement...the pft consists of 3 mile run, pull ups, and crunches, studs like me have no problem cause their looking for the scholar/athlete type like myself, if your not doing at least a 23 minute 3 mile, 10 pull ups, and 90 crunches....or at least something close to that....you probably should forget it. (btw i did 12 pull ups, 19 minute 3 mile, and 107 crunches so you know the competetion.)
