🚨Allow me to introduce RSS South Park’s newest member, Poolee Borrego! She’s officially part of the family now. For some people the process takes months. For others it’s as little as a couple weeks. This young woman is highly motivated and determined to take her life in a new positive direction and is headed for success. She originally planned to join the Air Force like more than half of the people I talk with in San Antonio. But after sitting down and seeing what it is that makes Marines different, and why it would be a better choice for her than the Air Force, she took the decision to choose US instead. The Marines will support her personal growth and allow her to live out her dreams and goals when it comes to her personal beliefs and travel plans. She’s completed enough college credits to be promoted to the next rank upon the start of her active duty contract.
If you’re currently in college and you are worried about what comes next, don’t be. You can use the time you’ve spent to advance your career in the Marines and set you up to move up the ranks quicker to unlock benefits like increased pay, and housing allowance.
Why pay to go to school, especially if you are paying for boarding? The military gives you three meals a day, a FREE dorm to live in, a salaried paycheck every 2 weeks, AND covers your tuition costs if you want to continue taking college classes. Why would you spend your time and money on a school when you could be a part of an organization that will pay YOU for the same and MORE?? Instead of stressing about internships and a job, you will be set up after the military due to your experience.
If you’re considering joining another branch and you HAVEN’T talked to the Marines…ask yourself why you’re holding yourself back. Don’t settle for less than the best. It’s not for everyone. Only those with the mindset of pushing themselves to bringing out their best version of themselves. The least you owe yourself is to talk with a Marine to help you determine if this branch is the right fit for you.
If you want to stay comfortable, you will never grow.
Congratulations, Poolee Borrego!
