It's a lot harder going from enlisted to officer than it is to start an officer. Plus, they'll probably switch you to a different unit. The men look differently at a corporal turned lieutenant than a fresh lieutenant. It's also very rare for people to make a career out of Recon. Your knees and back are worn out very fast by the weight of current equipment. Either way, it's your choice and I wish you the best of luck.

I'll be enlisting soon, and these videos really help me know what I could possibly be doing.[/quote]What branch?[/quote]Lol at the video. Good find! I wanna enlist in the USMC and make it into Recon. [/quote] Don't do it. All it is is a ton of pain and suffering. Politics screw everyone over. When you get out, you have no skills useful in the civilian world. Military training is so different from LE training that most departments won't take you because you're over-qualified. Nothing against the military, but it's not how it used to be. Politics won't let you do your job. [/quote]I'm planning on being enlisted 4 years, then becoming and officer and making a career out of it. I'm not worried about transfering back to the civilian world. But I understand exactly what you're saying.[/quote]
