This is the kicker, though, if you ask me. Are you USMC? Yes I am a combat vet, but I don’t imagine we’re being placed in the same category - and I mean that in deference to you (at least in terms of the amount of value it’s likely to add to your application).
ETA: By that I mean, if they have some kind of a loose “quota” that they’d like to hit in terms of number of vets they’d like to bring into the class, I doubt I’d be competing against you and other vets for that pool. My guess is I’m put in a different category altogether.
