Just my 2 cents worth from my oldest son's experience,,,, He went into the Marines first,,,was not what he was lead to believe it was...now he is Army and much happier there and even with a college degree he WANTED Infantry! He promoted very fast and made E6 in 4 years...he was informed by the Marines that to promote that high would take 10 years..in the Marines he went in as an E2 as that is the highest they allow, when he went in the Army he went in as an E3.
