To become a marine I need to have my high school diploma. That is the only requirement. After receiving my high school diploma, I can apply to West Point. If I want to start as an officer, however, I need to be a college graduate. After basic training, which lasts about 6 weeks, I can either become an infantry soldier or attend an Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) program to get a degree. Marines that are college graduates can attend Officer Candidate School (OCS). Each of these options will give me different advantages. .
