How old will i be when I am finished serving the marine corps?

Question

I want to go through the NROTC program during my 4 years of college to become a lieutenant. then I will be going to OCS and then TBS (I think). after training i wanted to become an infantry or intelligence officer. I want to know how long I will be serving active duty and how old I will be once I leave the corps because once I get out I want to become a police officer and just wanted to know how old I would be once I begin my police career

Answer 1

From the day that you sign your name on the contract, you can retire in 20 years.

Answer 2

A Nrotc Mo mid goes to a six week Ocs course known as "Bulldog" the summer between his Junior and Senior year of college. This is the same Ocs course known as Plc Seniors by Plc candidates. Basic understanding of Nrotc can be gained by reading Faq on website of nation's first Nrotc battalion:

He commissions as a 2nd Lieutenant on college graduation and goes to Tbs after graduating. If he had a scholarship he serves 48 months active duty. If he did not have a scholarship he serves 42 months active duty. The remainder of the eight year contract is served in the IRR(inactive readiness reserves) or if he wishes in the Marine Reserves or on active duty. Standard promotion is O-1 to O-2 in 18-24 months. O-2 to O-3 in 24 months. Marine officer Mos's are selected/assigned at TBS. Each class is ranked and split into thirds. Each Lieutenant makes up a ranked wish list of Mos's. Each Mos is assigned equally from the top 1/3, middle 1/3 and bottom 1/3 according to rank within the third. Th process is described in the Mos Handbook available here:

So, if 17 or 18 when starting college and 21 or 22 on graduation and commissioning as a Lieutenant. Then 25 or 26 on leaving the Marines as a Captain. Probably a substantial pay cut to become a Policeman, except maybe in California, but due to their budget crisis who knows what the salaries will be in the future.

If you can't figure out a simple mathematical problem, perhaps YOU are NOT U.S. Marine Corps material!!!!
