Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"I'll state this again because without the USMC I don't know where I would be today. If you're like me and come from a large family where the parents don't have the means to put you and all of your siblings through a university then this is great way to get started. The U.S. armed forces will train you and give you some very good basic I.T. skills and after you have honorably completed your services with them, they will provide you with an educational package that will make it much easier for you to attend the university of your choice. Furthermore, because you already have hands on experience in the I.T. field, all of those bits and bytes are going to make a lot more sense while studying at the university."

What don't you like about working at United States Marine Corps?
