[QUOTE="slow2002gt, post: 10859041, member: 71856"] This is for the Marine Corps from what officers who I have worked under told me or personal experience 1.) Do I get to choose where I will be located? Nope its what the Corps decide on where your needed. Sometimes depending on your schoolhouse you can pick. You are given 4 choices and lets say you pick all East coast, youll probably wind up overseas. 2.) How many years is a traditional session? 4 years active and 4 years reserve if you go enlisted If you go in as a officer they usually incur a service obligation at the time of their commission. The length of that obligation depends on whether they are on Active Duty or a Reservist, and whether they were commissioned through a service academy or OCS or ROTC. Once their service obligation has been met, they can leave at any time. They have to give due notice. If they do not resign their commission, they can be called back up into Active Service if needed. 3.) Does anyone have any knowledge about the legal positions? Nope sorry. 4.) How would the pay be for a college graduate like myself? If you come in as enlisted with a Bachelors Degree highest rank they would give you is E-2 making 1645.00 a month, on top of that if you are married add 1098.00 for BAH but only if you were married or had dependents As an officer youd be making 2784.00 a month on top of that you would get BAH or Basic Allowance Housing pay so they pay for you to live out in town if your Married or since your an officer you could move out in town as single rate which is a little lower or you could stay in BOQ housing but you dont get extra pay there. So it would be like 2784.00 + 1065.00=3849.00 if your married you get a few Hundred dollars more on top of that. 5.) I've heard of sign on bonuses... truth? How much? These days not that much depends on what you go into. But since the Corps is downsizing you might not see any. 6.) What's the best overall branch to join? Ill tell you it this way. If you want to change the way you view life join the Marine Corps we will show you how different it can be and make you appreciate it all that much more. If you want to feel like your still at college while getting paid go Air Force. Not to mention Air Force gets paid more when stationed with us :/ 7.) How does this officer program work since I have a degree? Don't know I'm enlisted 8.) Great benefits? Yep but since the military is providing it dont expect it to be top notch or first in line for anything. 9.) Any other perks? Youll be proud to call yourself a Marine when your done. [/QUOTE]
