Marines then college, I think the marines pay for part of your college after you've been with them for so long. And, depending upon what you want to go to college for, the marines might have something for you to do that is related to that subject that could help prepare you for college. I think...

College, then whatever afterwards

College first.

Get some sort of degree, any sort of BS degree will suffice.

Go to college, express interest in joining the Navy/Marine ROTC (Corps of Cadets at VT) after a semester or two (always looking for people) and if you have good grades you have a good chance of being accepted. And if you perform well they will pick you up on a scholarship and your future as a marine officer will be set. People do this all the time at my ROTC unit

Go to a different school that just has ROTC, its pretty chilax over here. Can still party it up easily if ya want
