I talked to my SMI in my MCJROTC Program about this and he said it all depends on the MOS you want. 4 years of college, or a bachelor's degree, is what it takes to be CONSIDERED for OCS. For example, if you wanted to be an Intel officer in the Marine Corps, you would probably want to take some kind of computer class or something of the sort. You also must consider whether this is going to be your career, or just a 4 to 6 year commitment because you wish to serve your country. The best way to answer your question is to ask yourself these questions...
1. What MOS do I want?
and
2. What is involved with this MOS?
Also on an end note: If you do not plan to make a career out of the Marine Corps. I would choose an MOS that would give me a civilian job after the Corps. that I liked. Ive always liked Computers and CIA stuff, so I plan to go into the Corps as an Enlisted Intel worker. When I get out, at least ill be doing something i want to do!
The only classes the Marine Corps requires is a High School diploma or equivalency.
Actually you join the air force as an officer, so you need a bachelors degree which takes four years, so if u wanted to be an officer then you would need to go to college and get a bachelors degree, idk exactly what courses but that's what you need to be a pilot.

No. Training at a technical school would be a good beginning for a forensics career. There are also several colleges that offer college-level forensic courses.
