“Unless he can go JAG or Medical, which he could do in either case, the choice is Marines, specifically SEALs if he can get in.”

HUH?

The Marines have no medical personel.... their health needs are administered to by the Navy....

JAG? Needs law school/pass the bar?

SEALs are a Navy Special Operations Group/MOS....and while Marines may apply for SEAL training, I’m willing to bet that few Marines do.....Force Recon is exciting enough for almost anyone with a bent for danger, and FR trains in many military skills....Besides, tales of SEAL marksmanship is a joke to most Marines.....I can throw a grenade better than most SEALs can shoot!

I should have clarified myself. I was trying to make a comparison of possible career paths, some with scholastic training prior to service, some during service.

Apologies.

Basically, I was just trying to emphasize that he who gets the best training have the most opportunities as he progresses.
