Does coming from the boat school have any effect on your USMC career vs. ROTC at a normal college (one you have grown up wanting to go there)? I'm enlisted and have an opportunity to do either one and wanted to see if it was worth risking not getting a Marine slot at the academy in order to gain benefits later down the road.
My heart is set on staying green and doing Marine Air but there are very limited amount of slots at the academy compared to PLC/ROTC. To me it seems like the Marine USNA grads are Navy-trained Marines. I know a Navy Officer from USNA looks good but what about a Marine officer from USNA? I see the Marine prestige as being geared more towards earning the Title through bootcamp/OCS? Thanks!
