Question
I've been in the navy for two years and i have 4 years left. I'm only twenty years old though so im still eligible for academies. But i want to become an officer. Not only a Naval Officer but a Marine Corps Officer. So i was wondering how i would go about going from Navy enlisted to Marine Corps Officer?
There are enlisted to officer programs available through the Navy, ask your career specialist (normally a civilian) at your base. As for the transition, its fairly easy. Once you get accepted to a college you can go NROTC and then use the marine option. Same goes for the Naval Academy, you can chose either Navy or Marine Corps shortly before graduation.
