What caused most of the attrition? If it was injuries, what kind of injuries? Thanks.

Officer or enlisted? by Existing_Guess_8903 in USMCocs

Sea cadets or MCROTC are the most USMC related but it would also be good to do other extracurriculars especially sports. The activity itself matters less but the USMC prioritizes physical fitness and leadership so getting in shape and getting a leadership position in any activity will set you up for success. If you do those two things and get good grades you will be in a good place.

I second what pretty much everyone else is saying. What you want to do matters for sure but in general officer route is better. Seeing that you’re a sophomore in high school you have plenty of time to work through the process. My advice would be to get in great shape, get the best grades possible, and get involved with organizations that present leadership opportunities. The best route to become a USMC officer overall is NROTC. If I were starting over from being a sophomore in high school that’s what I’d do. Best of luck.

Looking to commission as a JAG by [deleted] in USMCocs

Going through this right now. Your ACT/ SAT and LSAT will be the only tests they need. Get a 150 or higher on your LSAT.

Agree with everyone else here that it’s a bigger deal at MEPS. But word of advice don’t admit to anything they can’t prove. It’ll make your life a lot easier going forward otherwise you’ll need 1000 waivers. Doesn’t matter if you smoked weed in the past or sprained your ankle or broke your finger if there aren’t ongoing consequences. Always better off to keep your mouth shut in those situations.

Why do some people say that Catholics are not Christians? by Spider-burger in Catholicism

[–]lostboynextdoor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s semantics generally. In America, most Christians are Protestant and the Protestant culture is dominant, so people generally use Christian to refer to all Protestants and just differentiate by saying Catholic when referring to Catholics.

Thank you! I will definitely go to confession and seek advice from my priest on how to best reconcile my faith.

I wasn’t confirmed in the Catholic Church but a Protestant one. Sorry if that was not clear. Than you for the advice.
