Hi my name is abraham andrade, just turned 24 years old,I am currently in college and will graduate with an associates in ART. I am planning to join the Marines, and I was told I can become an officer, my questions are what is the descriptions for an officer? How do a become an officer? do you go to another boot camp? What are the requirements? I hope to get some answers from anyone. Thank You

Abraham :D

Basically if you're an officer it means you make more money and you get more respect than an enlisted officer because you would be of a higher rank (I would highly recommend it as opposed to enlisting).

What you have to do is go talk to an officer recruiter (not a regular recruiter). Don't really know what you'd be doing with a degree in art but I'm sure they have something. One thing that might be an issue is that you need to be either pursuing your bachelors degree or already have it. Sorry I'm not much help but I found these links that might help a little more.
