I know you're not asking for Marine's opinions really, but. I'll give my 2 cents anyway.

Do you have a job/career lined up after the Marine Corps? I'd have to say, thats your biggest thing. If so, then you're good to go. If not, and you plan on just going out in the civilian and looking for a job AFTER you're out, you might be in for a rude awakening.

Honestly, its about who you know. If you can get the hook-up and find a decent job out in the civilian world, then your straight. But, if you dont have any connections, it might be harder than anticipated.

And even if you have a college degree, or about to get a degree before getting out, that degree doesnt gurantee anything. I have plenty of friends who are college graduates that are still looking for a job, or working in something that their degree is useless in.

Location is another key. Where do you plan on going and living when you're out? Decent size city? Or middle of no where? Hows employment there? There's a lot of key factors that will determain how bad it will be for you.

All I can say is Good Luck!
