I'm currently thinking about joining the Marines-currently I have two yrs college experinces but a very low gpa that at the moment is preventing me from joining my dream school-also I'm stuck at a dead end job(no benefits either)-to be completely honest I'm looking for a postive life-changiing experience with a challenge-after doing some intensive research the position I would like to a have is a international realtions officer-the reason for this is because once I return to school after four yrs of service(hopefully without any physical injury(no pun intended) I would like to pursue a degree in political science:foreign policy. I know that join the Marines is no cake-walk-especially for women who must prove that we are just as capable as our male-counterparts. I have been told recruiters will say anythingn and make promises that can't be kept just to recruit a person and make thier quota-so if anyone can provide me with some sound advice especially if your a female in the Marines--I would greatly appreciate it....THANKS

Hi ybn...I did send the Editor a message asking her to move your post to the recruiting threads or the Marines thread. I think you'll get more feedback on your questions up there.

Hope fully some of our Marines will be able to help you!
