Have you gone to check out the program at the college or university you would be attending? Asking the officers and/or enlisted people will be a lot more honest than a recruiter.  \nASK QUESTIONS!\n\nSemper fi!

Join the military as an Engineer, your housing, children and future will be covered. You can be a map maker which is what my husband did. When you get deployed you are on the very back lines. I suggest you do two years of college and go as an officer, I highly recommend air force. You can start as a poliot and change careers while you're in. \n\nDefinately look into it. Not everyone in the military sees combat. The benefits are out of this world, especially in today's ecom.

If you sign up for ROTC, and take their classes, and participate in their events, then the answer is a resounding YES.\n\nBy the end of your 2nd year of college (I think), you have to decide if you are going to go into the military.  If yes, then you sign a contract, and they will continue to pay.  If no, then they will no longer pay for your college.\n\nCheck with the ROTC instructors at your college.  They will be able to give you more definite answers.  I've been out of that arena for 6 years.

Not so hard from High School as it is on active duty. I can only speak for the AirForce, but there are other types of scholarship programs, besides the standard ROTC scholarship, that send you to directly to college for a commission - some ROTC, some OTS, or direct comission if you're coming out to go to nursing school.

Once you have entered into your third year of a four year scholarship, you have entered into a legally binding commitment to a number of years service, I do not know specifically what. However, at this point if you leave the program you will be required to fulfill your requirement as an enlisted person.\n\nThis is not a question of paying back the money.

pretty simple.  Go to a recruitment center and sign up.   Becasue of your degree you might qualify for officer school.

i dont know where you want to proceed in your career after you get your degree,but ive got a lot of friends in the army,the national guard,and other branchs as well that got their training in the millitary and love every sec of it.I mean they get to travel the world, or stay close to home like the national guard or reserves.Plus once you get out the millitary you have one of the highest recomemdations of all.Right now you may think im a recuriter or something ,but in fact im not im a regular soldier in the national guard.My mos is millitary police.Currently im a security guard,ive already been accepted for the police dept but choose not to take the job until i turn 21.i stay close to home(20 min)and im very happy with the way i got my job and training.

Not much contact during basic. Lots of letters though. There MAY be a SHORT break before AIT, but no promises. However, he'll have much more time to call you during that process. Nothing to worry about though. I certainly wouldn't let the kind of time we're talking about stop him from enlisting. \n\nThe benefits vary by state, but our here in Texas are pretty good (looking at getting back in that route myself). Great tuition reimbursement programs & such. Do some research. He'll either end up loving it or not.

If you have the desire, then you have what it takes.  Don't be scared by the taking orders because you'll learn that you have a choice.  You'll pick up on what's involved in advancement and how you can move through the ranks and get ahead of those who may actually be lame.  I'm not talking about moving up the ranks by doing indecent acts, but just applying yourself and displaying the army values, Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal courage.  If you incorporate these values, you'll be ahead of the game and you'll do fine.  Excel in every aspect that you can, score a 300 or above on the physical fitness test, achieve an expert marksman badge, complete correspondence courses and take college courses.  About an earlier comment, tuition reimbursment isn't a bonus, the military already pays 100% of your tuition while you're on active duty.  You just have to pay  for the books.  So take advantage of that program.  \n\nThe military isn't about taking orders.  It's about working as a team to accomplish your mission.  It's about following the instructions and guidance from your leaders.  Yes, you'll have some very bad leaders and at that point, you can stand up and suggest alternatives and work the chain of command to your advantage.  There are the proper ways to do things and then there's the defiant way to do things, which will only land you in trouble and eventually out the door.\n\nOh, it's a two mile run by the way.  See if a recruiter could give you a APFT card and check the score chart.  Work on reaching the max amount of push ups, sit ups and two mile run.  This will help in the long run, for a promotion to E-5.  I earned E-5 in less than three years and was barely 21 when I was leading soldiers.

The best way is via the Air Force Academy - they get as many pilot training slots as they need for their graduates.  Next is via any Air Force ROTC program offered by many colleges and universities. Graduating from college and receiving a commission via ROTC is not a guarantee of acceptance into flight training. Enlisting in the Air Force (enlisting means as an E-1) is a long road.  First you must be selected by the Air Force for entry into an undergragduate program at a college or university and graduate.  Normally this approach (USAF funding of Enlisted college degree programs)is used by the USAF to get officers into fields where they have shortages - normally technical -not flight training. Basic requirements are a college degree and ability to pass the flight physical which for a young person is usually not a problem.  Uncorrected 20-20 vision is a requirement for entry into flight training. Glasses/contacts are allowed AFTER flight training.

I did, and don't regret it.  The military offers paid education and 4 years training for the job you receive.  Downside:  you might not get the job you really want.  Needs of the military, if the don't need you where you want to be, too bad.  But odds are high that you'll get the MOS or one closely related to it.  You'll know before you sign the contract.  The military offers the GI bill, which is good money to further your education once you've hit 2 years, or are out at any college you choose.  The on base education center has LOTS of opportunities from apprenticeships in your field of work to free classes at local colleges, all you have to do is take advantage of them.  There are lots of bene's to being in the military.

First, you could become an officer in another US service and then request inter-service transfer to the Marine Corps.\n\nSecond, the Marine Corps has three options for officers:\n\nAir, Ground, and Law.\n\n\nThe Law option allows you to go to Law school and then enter the Marine Corps as an officer.\n\nAlso, there is a waiver for everything. If the answer is no, it's no. All you have to do is ask.\n\nMy recommendation is to become an intelligence officer in the US Navy and then transfer to the US Marine Corps.

(i am assuming you are from the United States)  depends on what you are skilled in and what you are interested in.  the military will look at your strengths and weaknesses and train you for what you're good for.  If you are extremely intelligent don't be surprised if you get a desk job.  in the army or marines you'll probably become a foot soldier or a tank operator or something, but you may also be trained in helicopter flight.  the Airforce will likely have you as a aircraft mechanic but there is a small chance of becoming a pilot (less than 7% in the Airforce fly, i think).  If you want to join the military but want to be safe as possible, join the Navy.  those ships we got are pretty safe considering all the wars the US is in is with terrorists in mountains, not against countries with a well developed Navy.  these are just suggestions of things to look into.  basically just go into whatever branch that can help you build your strengths.  sorry for the lengthy post.

Graduating from West Point or any of the US Military Academies is an honor that nothing in your life will ever equal. Do it. You will never regret it. Being a military officer is perhaps one of the most rewarding careers any can ever have. If you've got the brains, go for it. Your country needs people like you. My suggestion is that you apply not only at West Point, but apply at the Air Force Academy, the Navy Academy, and also two other little known secrets: the Coast Guard Academy and Merchant Navy Academy. All have the same benefits as West Point and you can change your commission after graduation if you wish to any of the other services. Our country will be very proud of you. Thank you and good luck! \n\nPlease rate answer.
