US Military Academy to the USMC?
Is it possible to go to the USMC instead of staying in the Army after graduation?
The Naval Academy is damn near impossible for me to get into right now. The US Military Academy has a little lower academic standards.
Yes, people cross commission all the time, but why not just go to the Naval Academy

Roles of Officers in military (USMC specifically)?
what exactly does someone with an infantry MOS do... I know they command the troops and so on, but what do they actually do during battles? Are they right up there with the troops on the front lines, or do they command from a distance?
I'd prefer if only people with military experience answer... thank you.
I'm mainly concerned abt. o-1 to 0-3
also, what would be good MOS' if i want to be on the front line with the soldiers
Well here is something you might not know and it will answer your question..
The first US service man killed in the Iraq war as a result of enemy fire was a USMC LT..the second was one of his Marines..
So yes they lead Marines into battle..After they achieve the rank of Captain they become company commanders are are not found in the front lines as much but instead they move to the CoC and command their companies from there at times.
The CoC is where many officers of all ranks up to LT COL will be located in a battalion size unit..This includes the motor t, supply, intel, and chaplain officers..there are many more but these are just examples of some of them..
Line company officers are the ones who are leading their Marines into harms way.

Yes i believe they will ship from your home of record only. Your best bet, call TMO and ask.
FM: Great post. Very good summation of the problems we face with “the long war”. The military is currently undergoing rapid change as far as concerns about cultural awareness.
One of the programs we have started is called Human Terrain System. While there was some initial problems with team member selection, most of the bugs have been worked out and commanders in the field are giving very positive feedback about the program. IMO, the program helps address the rapid turnover of our troops in theater because the contractors are in place for years and develop better relations with the tribe chiefs and members. A critic of the program wrote, what I believe to be a hit piece, on the program here. It was widely disagreed with within the military community. See “All Our Eggs in a Broken Basket: How the Human Terrain System is Undermining Sustainable Military Cultural Competence”, Ben Connable (Major, USMC), Military Review, March-April 2009.
Also, the topic of 4GW wouldn't be complete without a discussion of why or how 4GW became such a powerful method of war-fighting. If you do a chronological history of known insurgencies and counterinsurgencies, the trend will show you sporadic effects of insurgencies up to the 1940s. After that, the rules changed with the signing of more international human rights treaties. I'm not making the case we shouldn't have signed but I am saying that they provide top cover for the sea that the insurgents swim in. I don't think it was a coincidence that 4GW, after existing for so long, suddenly emerged as the preferred technique regardless of Mao's success.
Certainly the media plays a part but so does incompetence at the executive branch to manage information. Lincoln had no problem jailing subversive americans. If memory serves he sent about 200 people to jail for leaking classified documents or giving aid and comfort to the south. That i know of, Bush didn't send anyone to jail for any of this but it certainly happened.
I haven't seen the new National Security Strategy, Military Strategy, or Afghanistan/Pakistan plan yet but I hope that President Obama takes a more realistic approach to the problems on the ground and dumps the former delusional Bush approach of “everyone wants democracy” fueled in part by his New World Order family and the Joseph Nye school of thought.

“up to the 1940s. After that, the rules changed with the signing of more international human rights treaties.”
After 1940 the success rate rose for insurgencies against foreign occupiers. Human rights treaties were a minor factor, as seen by the failure of occupiers who fought with almost unlimited ferocity. From page 225 Martin van Creveld's “The Changing Face of War” (2006):
“Thus, decision makers and other who blame the media for their defeats are talking nonsense. … Portugal's explusion from Africa in 1975 was followed by the failure of the South Africans in Namibia, the Ethiopians in Eritrea, the Indians in Sri Lanka, the Americans in Somalia, and the Isralis in Lebanon.”
He follows this with a brilliant explanation of an important dynamic in 4GW, one which tilts the playing field strongly against foreign occupiers.
