Is it possible to switch occupations once I'm in the air force and if so is it frowned upon?

I really want to join but I don't know what it is exactly that I want to do.

   Not sure what your degree is in, but with a associate degree you can enlist active duty and get your rank faster with already having school you will make E4 faster than someone without it.
You can also transfer your credits over and get a CCAF degree in your career field
If you join finish your degree its free, then if you dont like it you can get out with a BA

I would assume that the DL is rolling because they accept packages up until Sept. 30. I have a crappy OAR but the officers that I have talked to said it is a qualitative position.

*also, found out they closed all SWO board until next October. They were only taking aps for aviators and engineers.

I'm trying to do intel or supply. are those boards pushed back as well?

Whats the Marines version of the Army's MP.. because I never heard of a Marine MP..

And I met a Marine during Fleet Week and he said I should look into joining the Marines as an Officer since I already have my degree.. he told me Officer boot camp is at Quantico and its harder on the books and less physical than normal boot camp.. any of that true? Thank you in advance
