Are You deploying any time soon, if You are listen up and keep Your head down, that goes for all Your class mate's as well!

Haha it's only a cadet ball. 
I'm still deciding on bootcamp or ocs though

Congrats!

Which service are you considering? I was just at MCAS Yuma yesterday for the air show and had a blast. Ran into a bunch of Marines and can't help but admire them.

Why not choose OCS? Being an officer is a good way to go.

Ah I love airshows. Especially when there's ground shaking performances and ear piercing explosions. 
I'm going to join the Marine Corps. 
Being an officer would be wonderful, but I'm not too patient.
I hate school already and 4 years is so much of a drag.
Plus I wanna be a grunt. haha.
I'm considering going to bootcamp, being in the reserves and go to like community college or something, and then going to ocs.

Well at least You've got a sense of humor, officer material with a some humor, lookout! A rarity. Congrat's again and opt for what is best for You!

Thanks!
Not trying to be cocky but all the Marines I meet tell me to go to ocs after the day.
I dunno. Being a DI is really interesting

Being a DI in the Marines is like what being a Marine is to a civilian... they're flipping insane and yet have to have bulletproof integrity and be highly charismatic. Not easy to pull of in my book.

The airshow was awesome. At the end, they performed a combat demonstration. The Harriers dropped some practice ordinance, they brought in some helicopters to "clear" the landing zone, then had helicopters and Ospreys land Marines who performed a rescue. Good fun and not something I'd want to be on the wrong side of. Also, the F/A-18 demonstration was nuts. The pilot threw it into so many stalls and spins I'm surprised he lived through the performance. The A-10 demonstration was amazing, too.

Have you considered doing ROTC? College is better than you think. I made it through nine years eek though I'm not big on the academic thing. The social aspect is much, much better. Friends, parties, girls. Not necessarily in that order. You'll have fun. Trust me. And I think you'll be happier as an officer.

Also consider staying in the Reserves. I'm too old to do it now, but should have when I was younger. 20 years will get you a full military retirement with healthcare when you hit 60. It's a good deal.

 

[ssavage]

Yeah I'm thinking about ROTC. 
but then I'd have to learn all the Navy stuff.
& If/when i become an officer, I'm staying in for 20+

 

[Frankie K]

When the time come's and You think You have what it take's, look at making the SEALS. It's another option.

 

[ssavage]

Not for me. I'm definitely not a swimmer. 
I'd go for Force Recon if any 

 

[Frankie K]

Go get em kiddo!
