I'm currently looking at different commissioning sources to become a Marine officer, including PLC, NROTC and the Academy. I'm a freshman in college and started on the track for AF ROTC and realized the AF is not for me. I submitted the app for the NROTC scholarship, although I'd have to transfer campuses if I get it since my college doesn't have NROTC. PLC I could do out of my campus that I'm at now.

One question is, if I plan to stay in and make a career out of the Marine Corps, is one source more beneficial than the others?

Also, for air/ground/law contracts, are the number of slots specific to the PLC, NROTC, etc? Are more given to a particular source than the others? If I transfer sources, could I take my contract with me?

Thanks for the help.
 
As far as your future opportunities in the Marine Corps, it doesn't matter.... well, actually I have a bias toward a Marine enlisted getting into NROTC, which is called MECEP, but that's just because I think experience matters more than just about anything else :)
