Today I received a call from the National Guard recruiter, saying if I'd join the NG I'd received full tuition payment and $350 a week free money because of my ASVAB score (which was a 59.)

I REALLY, and I don't think I can emphasize that enough....I REALLLLLLLLY, DO NOT want to join the National Guard. I do however want to join the U.S. Marine Corps, which I plan on making a career out of. But I'm just wondering what are some college benefits that come with joining the USMC with my ASVAB score. My parents are on my case about joining the National Guard, but I'm trying to insist I join the Marine Corps.

Should I talk to my recruiter about it? Because I heard they'll tell you that you can fly to the moon on a piece of cardboard just to get you to sign your signature.

And just another little question: Should my local Marine recruiting office offer weekly workouts? Because I know the Army office does. I'm going to ask the Marine recruiter regardless, I just want to know if they generally do.

Thanks.
 
Well.

You can take Navy ROTC in college and they'll pay your full tuition as well as give you a monthly stipend which goes like this:

1st Year: 250
2nd Year: 300
3rd year: 350
4th Year: 400

And you can go for the Marine option so once you finish school, you'll go in the Marines as a second Lieutenant.

Aside from that, the Marines have the GI bill and stuff just like any other branch.
