Infuryum,
stop listening to the guys that are in. They are too biased to there own service line. Kinda like a Texas A&M student telling a UT Longhorn student there school is better. People just are not objective.
I did 3yrs Army, then 4yrs University, now I'm workin for the largest Accounting firm in the world working on passing my CPA exam. I'm not stupid and I joined for the college money.
Joined the Army at 17 and was in boot at 17 1/2!
Do not go to the Marines. Its just not what a smart intelligent kid who has aspirations of College and a professional white collar job like you should do. I could outline my reasons but I don't need the crap from the others on this board.
I suggest you head to the USAF, Coast Guard, Navy, and Army recruiters and talk to them about maximum 3yr enlistment along with the requirement you get maximum College fund. Some may offer it others may not. Don't let em talk you into signing for more than 3yrs, you can get plenty of cash with 3yr enlistment.
You can PM me if you like and we can take this off-baord as I don't feel like getting flamed for my intelligent views.
Oh ya, that was my #1 complaint, damn near everyone I know was a complete idiot. 90% of those I knew were darn near alcoholics and the rest were getting hauled in on weekends for spousal abuse.
I'm sure things have changed as I was in from '93-'96
And secondly most all the good jobs are gone, you will have to wait til October befo the next batch comes through.
Best of luck
Christopher
