Can anyone help with a question about student loan repayment in the Marine Corps?
For a long time I have wanted to join the Marine Corps. I graduated college with a double-major BA in English and History, and owe a fair amount of money (not a massive amount, just more than I would like to), and was wondering if the Marine Corps had some sort of program to help me pay it off.
The thing is, most of these programs seem slanted to those becoming officers. I, however, am not that interested in going that route. Can an enlisted Marine get help repaying there student loans?
Thanks for your help.
Two things, with a degree, you may want to re-consider and go the officer route. You may feel overqualified for the jobs you do in the Corps;
Second, talk to a recruiter. Programs come and go all the time. There may be something out there. (Check everything he tells you. Ask for the specific name of the program and research it.)
Good luck and hopefully soon you will be one of us.
Semper Fi.
