I graduated high school this year. I work quality control at a car dealership. I'm seeking advice on which way I should go in the Marine corps. I've always wanted to get into special operations and I know I want to be a marine my dilemma is with Marsoc vs. Recon. I don't have anyone who can really answer the questions I have.

Marsoc is not something you can just enlist into, as you need a minimum time in service (36 months) and be a NCO. You can take a recon indoc any time after boot assuming one is planned and your command allows you to take it. Also you need a GT score of 105 or better. Do you want to be Infantry (0300 contract) or enlist in a support unit (ie comm, intel)? That changes several aspects of your goals that yoy started well.
