It really depends what you want to do.\n\nThe Marines are the most physical, tough and are sometimes the greatest effected by joining.\n\nThe Army is ground and usually fight with the Marines.\n\nThe Marines is also part of the Navy which go over seas, on various vessels for long periods of time.  They tend to see more of the world.  Usually, they sailors go out for six-nine months and then get to stay in the states for about the same amount of time until being deployed again.\n\nThe Coast Guard won't get involved in major warfare and are usually the ones busting drug rings around the south coast!  And also the ones that handle the refugees from Cuba.\n\nDo your own investigating (each branch has a website) and see what fits best for you.  Or even go to your local recruitment center and pick up packets from each branch before making your decision. \n\nAnd good luck!

Best for a future? the Air Force, best for pride? The Marine Corps. For me sir, it was the Marines...Semper Fi. As far as I am concerned, there is no other choice, but not everyone is cut out for life in my Corps. We are "the Few, The Proud" for a damn good reason. And I agree, whats up with the guy who asked, if your scores are high enough? What a jerk, quick history lesson for you, the United States Marine Corps is technically older than the United States Government, we were brought in to service November 10, 1775. We (the USA) formally declared independence in 1776. Without the USMC, there would be no Air Force.

You can almost always get a waiver!!! Join the USMC and become a member of the few and the proud... You will gain poise, confidence, and skills that will last you a lifetime. Good luck

Here's how it is going to work.  You'll be at the USO at the airport when you get picked up by a Drill Instructor.  You get on a bus with a bunch of other recruits and are told to keep your head down during the ride so you don't see the way in/out of the base.  This is to prevent you from escaping if you decide to go UA (Unauthorized Absence).  Once you get onto MCRD you'll be lead into a room where the DIs will search all of your personal belongings and confiscate anything they can.  Anything they don't confiscate (civilian clothes, shoes, backpack, etc) you will box up and put in storage the next day or two.  A couple of people in my platoon ended up having their stuff go missing when it was time to pick it up before graduating, so don't bring anything that you really care about. \n\nAnyways, back to forming.  After that you will get in a big single-file line standing at attention and waiting for your haircut.  Wannabe DI admin Marines will walk by and harass you and the occasional DI will yell at you.  They will cut your hair really quick and it will hurt a bit, but oh well.  After that you will get your first issue of uniforms and other stuff that you will use during Boot Camp.  Forming will last 3-5 days depending on when you arrive their and when your Company picks up.  Don't worry about forming, you will never see any of those DIs again.  I would advise you to try and volunteer for Guide of your Platoon in forming.  This will usually carry through to your Platoon once you get picked up and as long as you keep doing a good job, your DIs should let you keep it.  Guide gets promoted to PFC upon graduation and has a chance to get LCpl if he is the Company Honorman.\n\nTo answer your question, cut your hair short to make things easier and less painfull but don't buzz it.  They'll cut it no matter what and you'll get less shit from them.\n\nIf you have any other questions shoot me an E-Mail and I'll be glad to help.

I went to basic in fort jackson....i went on june 2nd 2004. Dont bring a damn thing.....When you get there...they give you a 'smart card' and they make you buy shoes...clothes..socks..etc. Keep in mind everything you bring you will be holding with your arms straight out for atleast an hour... so dont buy anything. Try to be what we call'high speed' dont kiss ass..and DONT ASSUME THE DRILL SERGEANTS LIKE YOU..BUT do everything your told to the best of your ability and as fast as possible. Try to become the bay leader or the platoon leader. Work your ass off in pt and dont cry or whine. Whether you like the training..(rifle,landnav,bayonette courses..etc) or not have fun with it but dont smile. Say YES DRILL SEARGEANT , NO DRILL SERGEANT as loud as possible. Keep your area clean and learn how to do hospital corners on your bed BEFORE you go to basic. Start drinking plenty of water now....youll have what is called force hydration where you have to drink 2 qts so you might as well start now so you dont get sick. Make sure your 'battle buddies' dont fuck up...stay on them even if they hate you tellin them what to do itll look good on your part and youll have a smoother ride. Be aware that theyre will be some 'crazies' when you get there...people will try to pull some bullsh it and kill themselves, run away, talk back....just ignore them and do what your supposed to do. The red phase is the worst. Oh and once you get to the blue phase ( last phase) youll be right back to red phase...they like to mind fu ck you like that. Dont stress it though. Youlll learn to like the chow...no soda or dessert but youll be alright...umm if you have anymore questions you can message me on im whatever496@yahoo.com

ANSWER: The United States Naval Academy at Annapolis is the primary academy for Marine Corps officers. IN addition, other training venues for USMC officers are the Naval ROTC, the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps, and the Officer Candidate School, including the Platoon Leaders Class (PLC).\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Marine_Corps
