I'm a sophomore in high school and i want to go to school
but if school doesn't work out I'm thinking about joining the marines


Anybody here with military background give me some details (training, front lines, etc.)

You need to

a.) Be 18
b.) Have a High School diploma or a G.E.D

If you are serious about it, join the Delayed Entry Program the beginning of your Junior year.

They teach you both of those traits in Boot.

But having a year + to start training doesn't hurt.
