Re: Introduction- Matt

Yes, I realize the Marines have mechanized infantry as well, but from what I have read it seems like all Marine Corps Infantry officers are assigned as platoon leaders to a standard infantry unit. I was under the impression that the Marines didn't really have "specialized" divisions like the Army ...

Re: Introduction- Matt

Rangers,
It has been a few weeks since I have posted on this website and I have been doing a lot of thinking. I have come to the conclusion that the officer route is the right one for me. Almost everything about it sounds more appealing to me, and I think that is where I would fit in best. So now ...

Re: Introduction- Matt

Rangers,
I have given some more thought to the enlist vs OCS debate, and though I haven't reached any real conclusions, I do have one question that relates to this debate somewhat. After thinking about the pros and cons of both options, one of the biggest pros for enlisting, at least for me, is ...

Re: Introduction- Matt

Ranger GTP,
Point understood. I value your input, and the input of every other Ranger on here. I've browsed around on a couple other military forums before and the advice I received here is by far the best and most sincere. I've got a lot of thinking to do and a very big decision to make. If I ...

Re: Introduction- Matt

Ranger GTP and ABN,
I think I may have given the wrong impression on my reasons for joining. I do see military service as a tremendous advantage in any future pursuits I may have, but leadership skills and resume bolstering certainly aren't my main reasons for joining. I want the challenge, honor ...

Re: Introduction- Matt

Rangers,
Thank you for the advice, I value your input greatly. I do still have some soul searching to do, I'm not sure what is right for me as of now and I don't want to make a decision this big unless I'm sure. If I do join the military, I want to make sure that I am 100% committed because it will ...

Re: Introduction- Matt

Well, I did consider ROTC and I almost did join but when the time came to make the decision I just wasn't 100% sure and so I decided that I wasn't going to do it if I wasn't 100% committed. Part of the reason was because I wasn't 100% sure that I wanted to join the military, and even if I was I was ...

Hello Rangers,
My name is Matt and I am currently a sophomore in college. I am considering the possibility of military service after I graduate, and am hoping that I can get some guidance and advice on this website. Since I was a little kid I always wanted to be in the military. At first I wanted ...
