Can I go to the military and still get my bachelors degree?

[I am Johnson]

I am currently 15 and I wanted to ask you guys if I can go to the military and still get my bachelors degree while still in the military? I have asked many people this question but they were not straight forward. ---- I want to go to the FBI if anyone was wondering why I am asking this

Probably once you've finished with the military. If you're in Military you probably wouldn't have the time.

Hey there! You're in luck, cuz I just got out of the Marine Corps a little over a month ago

 

The answer is not just yes, but absolutely yes. While in the military, you get 2,400 towards tuition. Not only that, but you can also use your GI bill (not really good idea unless you are trying to become an officer) while in. Some schools also have additional benefits for active military, as well as most states. Not only is it financially good to go, but for each college course you complete it helps you with promotions. There are also numerous paths when you join the military (Actvie, reserves, National Guard, etc.) and hundreds of jobs, including some investigative, which would give you a boost in joining the FBI. If you or anyone else have any more military questions, feel free to ask or  PM me.

Oh, and my last unit's 1stSGT is getting out and trying to go FBI, so it is possible, just saying

Currently in the process of trying to do this actually. #1 thing you should be doing, just do some preliminary research and do some outreach with people in the community like you are now. Recruiter might not want to talk to you since you’re only 15 BUT that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t give it a shot. 
 

My plan is to join the US Army Reserve with various scholarships attached and go into an Army ROTC program. This route, while vaguely explained, pays you to go to school and sets you up with a job as an Officer after you graduate. 
 

Overall, just do some research, lots of people here would probably love to have a 1-on-1 talk with you to help you make the most educated decision when it comes to that point in your life.

 

Jingle#9275 on Discord if you want to reach out, would love to talk more about this with you.

IDK about Army, but Marine recruiters arent allowed to chat with you till you're 16 if I remember right with parental approval if I remember correct. Unless if at a school, etc. but even then, the recruiters will focus almost exclusively on those who are or are almost old enough to enlist
