Will join the Marines has anything to do with my Business career?

I'm currently at second semester of my 3rd year in college, Kelley School of Business. I plan to join the Marine reserve this summer. I know, it's pretty too late now. My majors were accounting and finance with a pretty low gpa, 3.0 unfortunately, that means a gpa below 3.3 would not success in accounting career, and especially I got a F in my first intermediate accounting exam. I was going to join the Marines after high school, but I thought I would be fine because I was pretty disciplined. I boxed during high school and participated in Army ROTC during freshmen year in college, so I'm pretty physical fit. But who knows I became lazy during my junior year. I plan to join the Marine to get my intensity back, start a new life motivation, also get my MGI bill for my last college year and grad school. If I join the Marines I will switch my major to international business because I’m bilingual, Chinese and English. And I may continue grad school to get a PhD or master degree with economy or international business, something like that. Furthermore, I don’t want to join the Marines to just get the benefits for my education. I’m willing to get deployed, serve and represent the Marines for my whole life. But I really want a successful career in business. Overall, one thing I want to know before I make any decision is would join the Marines has any positive impacts for my future business career in the firms or government? Thanks.
