Realize that Marines are ground officers first... meaning they will go to TBS after they commision thru NROTC.. which is a 6 month school. I believe the navy goes straight to api? something to consider depending on what he is interested in.
if you're unsure, then select navy. Once you get to your program you'll have the opportunity to see what the marines are all about. You can always switch while you're there. It may take some more paperwork, and you'll have to resubmit your scholarship stuff. But for the people who wanted to do (that i saw) it and did it, it worked out in the end.
