Bump?

Great, thank you :) Are you allowed to study abroad in college? How do you complete drilling? How do I get military experience? I was told I could come to DEP workouts but I’ve also heard this isn’t true? Do you recommend Naval Sea Cadets Corps even if I’d be joining at 16? Are you less...

This wasnt getting any views on the off-topic thread, so I thought I'd try my luck here. I'm trying to get in contact with a Marine Reservist (preferrably one in college right now) to answer some burning questions! Thanks!

Have some questions, thanks!

it focuses more on academy life right?

great info - thanks!

I no longer want to pursue a career as an officer, as it got in the way of my passion for teaching. I am considering enlisting in the Marine Reserves to follow both of my dreams. I want to attend the summer seminar to get an idea of what military life is like. Is this a bad way to go about it...

I'm not the biggest fan of English and deep analysis of writing, but I'm basically eligible for AP English next year. Should I try it? Do admissions look upon that favorably? I'm not exactly sure what the class entails and how I will perform.

Okay so I just received me request for information and it says that I can join after I have completed the 10th grade. If I'm planning on attending an academy, would I be able to sign up for the reserves after I finish the 10th grade? EDIT: I'm turning 16 this July

Tell me more about the Mitchell award?

Anyone care to share their experiences of calling 12 year olds sir because they joined CAP in their teens? :) And I'm looking to be a Marine Corps pilot, so I figured CAP would be more helpful than Sea Cadets. Do you agree?

Hey all! I'm very interested in doing something service-wise before I enter the military, and I'm not sure if both will fit into my schedule. Out of curiosity, do you know how junior firefighting is perceived by admissions? Does it just fall into the community service category, or is it looked...

I want to be an officer in the Marine Corps more than anything. I know the idea of service is put higher than individual branches, but I know I'd be more than disappointed if all the Marines spots were filled and I had to be commissioned as a Navy officer. I'm considering just going NROTC to...

Just curious, I want to know how it all works. I want to see if it's as big a commitment as my high school team is haha :biggrin:

do a lot of candidates finish calc 2 in high school? or do most of them complete just calc 1?
