To Whomever's got military experience.

I am a Marine Reserve. The job I picked was infantry assaultman. I leave for bootcamp in November for 3 months. I then come home for 10days. I leave again for Infantry Training Batallion for 2 months. When I come back I apply for Platoon Leaders Course. I will go to school while being an E-3. I will do Officer Candidate School next summer for 10 weeks. After I complete OCS. Then I foucus on finishing school. Once I finish school I will be a commissioned officer. 2nd Lt. to be exact. Is there anything else I need to know or should look into.

How are you going to be an E3? Not unless you were contract PFC cuz you need time and grade with all the stuff. Unless you get honor grad-or met. promoted too.

Because I've got my degree already. At least thats what I am told. It doesnt matter anyways because I will only be a reservist for a short period of time. Once I am done with Bootcamp and ITB then I will do the PLC program which switched everything up for me so rank as of right now means absoltuley nothing.
