Im joining the Marine Corps after i graduate in 2014?

I graduate high school in 2014 and am going to try to get a summer ship out date to boot camp. I have two questions...

1. After the Corps, how hard/easy is it to get a job in law enforcement or a job in the federal government? Such as police officer, or something. I have 3.5 gpa in all honors classes so im a pretty smart kid. Will i need to do college after the Corps in order to get a job? 2 or 4 years?

2. Assuming nothing happens in regard to Syria and Iran, how likley is it that i get deployed to Afghanistan since we are pulling out in 2014? Will my batallion still go as security? Do troops still regularly deploy after 2014 ends? If not, can you volunteer? And how likley is it that ground troops end up in syria or iran? Thanks in advance. I know theres no way to be sure but thanks for your help.

    No, their will although be patrols each and every of the time for the subsequent decade over there, and then each and each usually on there will be insurgents who're stupid and connect the Marines. And being a Marine, you have a greater robust useful threat of having deployed, becasue their is approximately one hundred ninety,000 enlisted Marines at the same time as whilst in comparison with a dash over 600,000 enlisted interior the army, so which you get carry of greater effective useful opportunities.
