    USMMA or USMC PLC?(Marine Pilot question)

    Thanks for telling me that navy, it's definitely Something to think about. The great thing is that I'm at least giving usmma a try, but if all works out with PLC, then I don't see a problem with it. The only issue I have is that the academy's can help people in their military careers...

    Is it worth losing 2 years?(College question)

    Thanks for the reply, i see what you're talking about. I'll keep going after the Academy. The one thing im afraid is, none of my credits will transfer if i do get an appointment. Now the 1380 in the SAT was the combined score of all 3 areas, not just the verbal and math( hopefully thats still...
