@juillet I didn’t mean to imply that some don’t choose to enlist with college degrees but I’ve known some who didn’t know there were other options. And the majority of career enlisted earn their bachelor’s on Active Duty theses days. Some earn a masters.

The Marine Corps model is one enlistment and go home for most. For an MOS with a long training pipeline, that may mean a 5 or 6 year contract instead of 4. Most scout snipers I knew left after 6 years (an extension of initial enlistment). A few went on to be instructors.

I completely agree about the wash out rate for scout sniper and want OP to think through why scout sniper in general. I know some who wanted Marine infantry until they lived the reality of Marine infantry.
