specifically right now/recently. what are the recruitment paths, who do they draw? has it changed much? how different is the officers' disposition from the enlisted?

The marines are absolutely the best at actually "being the military" and, yes, that includes their officer selection all the way down to their basic training. Look at the absolute psychos they have at the top and it's clear they promote on merit far more than other branches.
