That depends on whether you enter the Marine Corps as an Officer or as an enlisted (Private), but there are other qualifications that you will have to pass like, a physical, educational and mental test. There are no guarantees until you pass boot camp or Officer Candidate School.
If you are physically fit and believe you can be a leader, then I would recommend that you apply for Officer Candidate School. It will be the hardest training you ever did and you will be a Leader of Men when you graduate. Check out the possibilities. I DID!!
You could enter as an Ensign if you wanted to go the officer route.

There are no ranks in the Air Force that require an Associate's degree. To become an officer you must have a minimum of a Bachelor's Degree. To enlist you must have at least a high school diploma or GED. While you're enlisted you can work on school using tuition assistance to obtain an Associate's degree but it does not change your rank or pay grade. If you already have an Associate's degree and you want to enlist you may be offered to enter with a higher rank/pay grade (i.e. E-2 or E-3).
Yes, based on rank and years of service.
