While many high school seniors are looking forward to starting college in the fall, St. Marys Area High School senior Tony Polaski has his sights set on serving in the United States Marine Corps. “I looked at everything. I looked at colleges, trade and technical schools, and all the branches of the military and decided the Marine Corps was my way to go,” Polaski said of his decision. Polaski is currently in the Marine Corps’ Delayed Enlistment Program and is designated as a “Poolee.” This status means that he will be in the pool of new recruits that will attend one of the two United States Marine Corps boot camps this fall. He will attend boot camp in October at the Marine Corps’ Paris Island, S.C. facility. He anticipates graduating from basic training in January 2011. According to Polaski, individuals are only designated as a Marine once they graduate from basic training. While basic training will be challenging, Polaski said he is looking forward to it. He also mentioned that there are a series of requirements than an individual must meet prior to even becoming accepted into the Delayed Enlistment Program.
