With college if your recruiter dose his job you should be able to come in with a little rank. Now if your ok with combat arms i know atleast in the Army right now there is a waiting list to go to basic training for the infantry, i do not know about the marines. Age is not important to me. If someone has more experience than me I am going to listen, I don’t care how old they are. For me it’s not really IF I am going to do it, it is how and when. ---

how would you rate your overall fitness and intelligence? i ask this because combat control sounds like it might be a job you would like. it offers a bit of everything, marine combat arms, and air force technology. it is the most physically demanding job in the air force and one of the most demanding in the armed services. you get trained as an air traffic controller which might apply towards a career on the civilian side as well but im not sure. here is a general breakdown of the job, and it also lists the physical standards here and keep in mind there is no break between them. so right after the 14 minute swim there is a 1.5mile run. > **[U.S. Air Force](https://www.airforce.com/opportunities/enlisted/careers/general/combat-control-apprentice-males-only/)** > > Welcome to the United States Air Force.
