2.) Second - joining with a degree means you start at a higher pay grade, and retire at a higher pay grade. That's a pro.
3.) Third - USMC would have to be the toughest branch in the military as for basic.
alanb said:True, Ive seen this first hand actually. I went to a program called DEVIL PUPS, its for teenagers..basically you go train with the marines for 10 days (its sort of like a bootcamp teaser / camp) and we had a Q & A segment, and I asked a sergent ( I think ) what he though of officers and he said he hates/dislikes officers and that he doesnt get along with them alot of the time..
Do you know the reason for this?? is it because officers are smarter or they have a degree ? I mean getting a degree is also tough for some.... I dont know how the respect thing works, but if i was a officer, I would want respect from them...any ideas?
Are you aware of actual numbers ? or at least a range? I havent been able to find any pay scales....is it higher or lower than standard civilian jobs ? (ie: software engineering/ computer engineer)
Yea Thats part of the reason I picked USMC..my standards are high.
p.s: thanks for replying
