Thank you for the post and congrats on getting a 700 on the GMAT! With this list of schools, you could rest or retake. It honestly depends how far up the list you realistically want to reach. If you want to target the lower end of the list then you do not need to retake the GMAT. However if you want to target Kellogg, Tuck, MIT etc then you will want to at least try to retake the GMAT.
Feel free to email your resume if you want more specific guidance. I work with a lot of military applicants and that will give you an edge. That said, you still have a 3.2 GPA which is on the lower side.
Since you have the time, you are likely better off retaking but send me a resume and we can discuss further.
Best,
Scott

Hey man,
Good to hear from you!
Now coming from the Marines as an officer with a solid GMAT is an awesome thing to be sure.
Now I would love to dig into your profile with you, but I am a little short on info, though.
I need a LOT more info from you - school name, employer name, titles, promotions, greatest achievements, volunteer work, sports, community service, religious involvement, leadership... I need to know what you DID in the Marine Corps etc. before I can give you a real evaluation.
It will also be very helpful if you can elaborate upon your goals.
Have a look at some of the other very detailed profile requests on this board and do something similar and I'll be happy to get back to you.
Best,
JF
I hope this helps! And feel free to drop us a line for a free consultation.
