First, if you're gonna join up, have some fun. Join Combat
Arms (infantry, artillery or armor) You'll get basic infantry
skills but never get to practice them. Quick, what is the
bursting radius of a for loop? Software & the Marines seem
kinda like oil & water.
You'll have education benefits when you get out and you'll be able
to take college courses. You'll be much more hirable after a degree,
not because you know more but because companies are kind of sticklers
for them.
Now I earn a healthy living as an Ada programmer and I joined the
Corps right out of high school but I got to work with explosives.
Not only was it fun but I can get by with cheap speakers.
Good Luck whatever you decide.
PS-you can't call yourself teufelhunde yet.
