enlisted marine to an officer?
1st of all, if you enlist in the marines at E-1, if you stay in the military long enough can you become an officer if you just keep going down the promotion line, or do have to enlist as an officer to be one.
2nd if you can earn the NCO sword as an E-4, is there something that you are given that says you are allowed to get the sword, because what would be keeping somebody from just going out and buying one before then. (I would not do that, I like to earn things they way you're supposed to, its more satisfying)
Firstly, when you "enlist" you are enlisted to support the mission of the Marine Corps and promotion within the enlisted ranks is E-1 to E-9.
To become an officer, you need to apply for a commission, which is separate process from enlisting. It actually requires an act of Congress to authorize your commission. There is no requirement to be prior-enlisted to become an officer.
There are different ways, to include a couple if you are already enlisted. The best way is to talk to your local Officer Selection Officer (OSO) and you can visit the official Marine Corps website for commissioning: http://marineofficer.com/
For prior or current enlisted Marines, you can read more about commissioning programs here http://www.quantico.usmc.mil/Sentry/StoryView.aspx?SID=194 or talk to your career counselor.
