Answer 1

Actually, you don&#039;t need 4 years of college; but you do need a BA degree. Officers don&#039;t go to bootcamp (It&#039;s actually called &quot;recruit training&quot; now) unless they were prior enlisted before getting their commission. Upon graduation of college you will need to attend OCS- Officer Candidate School. If you know well before you graduate college that you for sure want to become a Marine- you can enroll in the USMC PLC (plt leaders course) which they will pay you for while you attend college and get your degree and it will also eliminate you having to go to OCS. Another option you have, which pisses me off is you can attend the Naval Accademy- you can chose to either be a Naval OR Marine Corps officer, which IMHO is just fkd up.

As for the difference in pay, a commissioned rank makes more then an enlisted rank. Years of service as well as rank and dependants is what determines how much you will make.

You can Y/A message me if you&#039;d like.

Answer 2

ok first

you dont need 4 years in colledge to be a officer . in fact once you hit college you can try to go for the PLC (Platoon Leader Class). the corps takes you away for 2 summers for 10 weeks i think each summer with pay . or if you are a junior they take you for just 1. and if your a senior its a different program you can check on the marines website.

also  officer are like one step above regular marines . they recieve order and must think out logical plans to help get the platoon of about 42 men to do this job with out any casuatys .

second i dont know the pay roll iam sorry .

last officer go threw basic raining like normal marines .

my email btw is [e-mail]  &lt;-- made it when i was younger lol

  

Answer 3

just to correct you its not 4 years in college. Its a BA that you need. If you really motivate and bust *** you can get a BA in under 4 years
