My long term plans are to graduate high school, and then join the marines. I was wondering if any of you guys were considering this or any other branch.(if so,what?)

Well, with the acedemic program that I am in now I could get into West Pointe or something quite easily, and likely start with Lieutennant standing. I love war, but chances are my parents won't go for it.

But if I don't get into an ivy league school for liberal arts, I will most likely pursue a military career, and then a political one.

That's deeply disturbing. You would be hard pressed to find any soldier who had experienced combat first-hand to agree with that.

Lol... most of you have no clue what the military is like. You DON'T want a combat assignment. Being a combat soldier is no fun. Get into the ROTC... they pay for college first and then you get to enlist directly as a officer... Higher pay, and much much less likely to get KIA. If you want an active duty combat assignment, you are crazy.

After 9/11 that all changed people are now more willing to take on active combat duty I have friends in the Marine Corp i have known since high school the reason they joined was revenge.
