And if USMC MCMAP isn't where you are, though I'm quite sure it would be, there's always the Army side, there's zero reason you can't ask to do this also, or even do both....

I can virtually assure you that your installation has this, or is gonna know where it is...again, food for thought...are you in it at all?

All Federal organizations do this, it's basically the Federal version of the United Way...I guarantee you, somebody on your installation is in charge of this, USMCR included, I can virtually assure you...again, do you do it at all? More food for thought, OK?

So...do you actually do this at all? Just food for thought, OK?

I should perhaps explain a few other things, as well...if you really want a svc life, it's what you make of it...you have to be enthusiastic, you have to volunteer, you have to seek opportunity, you have to participate in charity drives, maybe that USMC Toys for Tots Program I see all the time...opportunity doesn't seek you out...I had to learn to function in the role, it took me way too long...I had to volunteer for charity drives where I was, participate in the Company Grade Officers Council (CGOC), do rad coursework when I wasn't in the office for my unit...as I said, I learned way too late, Im total perm disabled now, really long story, obv...that being said, if you want things, chances, opportunities, USMCR isn't going to ask you to do them, you have to WANT to do them, you have to WANT to SEEK them, OK?

Look at the forum pages on this, it's not all-inclusive, it's only on the five main OCS programs, incl the one I'd gone through, USAF OTS, however, you'd possibly find it illuminating, if nothing else, OK?

This is much less well known than the various ROTC programs...I'd expect it'd be rough to get, and you'd really have to want it, really seriously, obv, however, once again, I merely point it out, so you at least know it exists, if nothing else, OK?

Look through all of these...these are specifically for your explicit circumstances, all you need to do is just want them...I'm not saying that to be simplistic, I'm merely saying they're at least there, that's all, honest...to not look into them would be a total, absolute waste of an opportunity, to my way of thinking, that's all I'm trying to say, OK?

This just restarted awhile ago, fairly recently...this could be a very good route for you, if you'd be inclined at all toward cyber, esp if you hadn't considered warrant...the Army flight program for the Army WOCS is also warrant, however, being USMCR already, you're at least on the Navy side...I'm not saying that's a decisive factor, however, it merely crossed my mind to point out, if nothing else, you know?
