I am 16 years old and officially decided that I LOVE physics as a Junior in High School. My high school physics teacher has done the greatest job in teaching me how physics is everything, and truly how interesting it is in upper level physics, since he does hold a ph.D. in Carbon Nanotube Technology. Now as for going for a physics major, I would primarily like to join the military, not just to pay for college but also because I would like to serve and build character through the military as my family have done before me. My brother and father have both been through the military as pilots and I would like to join either the Marine Corps or the Air force as a physicist. I am looking for any knowledge on how to go about doing this. My general plan is to attend TAMU (Texas A&M university) as it holds the Corps of Cadets, it will pay for my bachelor of Science degree in General Physics along with provide the opportunity for my Master's degree in a field that I will soon decide (would also like general advice and experiences in the most enjoyable and interesting fields for my masters). I would also like to know if the military provides for the opportunity to obtain my Ph.D. In physics as well. As far as I know, the Air force does offer physics careers but I am curious about the Marines and would like to know any possible knowledge for such a career as a Marine. If anybody has any advice or experience in this plan, please share if you can and I will be grateful no matter the advice. Even if it is telling me how fun physics is, i would love to know and hopefully it will provide for my future plans. Thx in advance.
