If I wasn't selected, I would have even considered enlisting and *then* trying to become an officer. I know that enlisted men in every branch often prefer such officers, but it was a backup plan.
Good luck....Army would have been a better choice, but I am a little bias!
GOOD LUCK!!!!
To things I dislike through...
1.) Marines...
2.) Officers...
LOL!
That's outstanding... Semper Fi
WE DO!
Either way though I'm sure you'll be fine. Good luck on your path, I'm a ground guy, but I've heard getting in the air can be a tough road. Stay motivated!

Never forget one thing ... 0311 is what the Corps is all about, everything else is just support!
I don't mean that in a bad way (I was not an 03xx). In the air, on the ground, or at sea ... all Marines are there to support the grunt kicking in the door or leading the charge.
Congrats and Semper Fi
Question, you will carry a side arm will you not. What are they carring these days?
Awesome stuff! congrats!!
Im pretty 'armed forces' stupid, so bare with me.
Do you have to go to basic training, then on to OCS?
Congratulations! I wish I had thought ahead as far as you did when I went. Wish you the best of luck, Semper Fi!!
I just got awesome news today! I was selected for the USMC Officer Candidate Course 209! It starts on 20 January 2012, so I've got just about 2 months to go. Yes, I'm extremely excited, with a hint of nervous!
I have a blog where I post all my updates on my quest to become a Marine pilot. If you're interested, you can check it out and subscribe to all my updates. Here's a link to today's post about being selected.
