OK I'm a Jr. in High School and my primary goal is to become a officer in the Marine Corps. I've wanted to do this since 8th grade. My father was a swing with the wing Marine for 4 years and got out as a Cpl (E-4), his Uncle was a MSgt (E-8) and his son just got out as a Cpl and finally his daughter just married a fresh out of OCS this summer 2nd Lt.
Ive had this plan since 9th grade and now I'm wondering is it the right plan.
Plan A apply and get accepted to the USNA.
Plan B apply for a NROTC scholarship.
Plan C go to a local college and join a NROTC program
Plan D enlist in the Marine Corps and then try and become a maverick.
Hasn't been a plan per say but is a sub plan to plan A. Get a sports invite to NAPS.
OK what is the best way to ensure my path to the Marine Corps as an Officer? Am I missing any other good paths?
OK my stats. Jr. in high school with a 3.2 or 3.3 GPA, SAT scores so far Reading 480, Math 540, Writing 450 (retaking and parents will pay for SAT classes.)
In the 50% of a class 500+
3 years JAFROTC Rank Capt. Group Staff
Capt of the Rifle Team, I shoot 3P precision and my personal best so far is 569 and I'm improving monthly.
Made Eagle Scout at 16 and still active with Palms.
Work part time at Chick-fil-A average 14 hours a week.
I can get my PFT scores to 280-290
OK Since the USNA is a long shot for a appointment and somewhat long shot for NAPS with shooting, how are my chances for a NROTC scholarships.
Can I Enlist in the Delayed Entry Program to hold a good MOS and then drop it if I get a NROTC Scholarship?
I live in Georgia.
Thanks for all the advice in advance.
