I have not yet joined the Corps, but I am about to finish High School and I am trying to make the desicion between going Officer or Enlisted in the Marine Corps. Either way I go, I wish to earn the Enlisted Mindset, as from what I hear it is completely different from the Officers. I was thinking that maybe the best way to earn the respect of those under my command if I go the Officer pipeline is to be an outstanding follower as well. I was wondering, if I went Officer, is there any way that I would be able to earn the Enlisted Mindset?
