Enlisted to Officer
Hey guys, I been interested in becoming a pilot for the US Marines but there are many paths to take. Personally I want to go enlisted reserves, and then apply for PLC. The reasoning behind this is because of where I'm at. I'm overweight (5"4, 175lbs) and currently training to get in better shape and also not a strong person mentally. I believe after Bootcamp, I should be mentally and physically hardened for PLC. Another reason is the benefits. Don't get me wrong, I'm not joining because of benefits. My goal is to be independent without my parent's help. What are your guy's thoughts?
What is the best way to become an Officer?
So until now, I've only known two ways of becoming an officer. Going through PLC or OCS. But now, another way is NROTC. So which is the best?
If got any terms or things wrong, pls correct me on it.
Thx
