Your sort of right, but then again you are completely wrong. Try this, go to a Marine corps recruiter and try to get one specific job in your contract ironclad no room for wriggling you around: YOU CAN NOT DO IT, the Army is the only service that will GUARANTEE you one specific job. But lets just say for arguments sake that you could get that from the USMC, then ask that same marine recruiter (or the guy that writes out your contract at the MEPS station) to tell you what kind of enlistment bonuses you get IN YOUR CONTRACT. I guarauntee that the Army will give you more money(enlistment bonus/college or both) than the USMC will for the same job and same contract length.
Edit:
To *Sway*: the reason you went to Lejoune was because you went to you ?brothers? MCT graduation not Boot camp.I could elaborate on this one, but im not... but I will say this, you are correct for the most part... BUT college has nothing to do with your MOS, contract, or whatever, if you are talkin bout deals then yes the army can give you a deal cause you are soooo fudgin big, and the marine corps is specialized, but, that doesnt mean it cant happen, and i got one hell of a deal if you ask me.. i got the MOS of my choice and that MOS came with a 5grand bonus, and I didnt even ask for it, it comes with the MOS which is how we work,... but there are other reasons why the Army can hook you up with a deal, but that is a hole other book, and I dont wanna get into it.
