Is it possible for a recruit to split up bootcamp??, like do 1 part of bootcamp, go back to college, then return to bootcamp to finish?

You're kidding, right?

That would be a flat out, undeniable.....NO! Or you could join and ask your DI. They like questions like that.

Are you thinking about the training program where you do the full Boot Camp, go back to school, then go to your MOS training the next time around?

I believe the army does that for high school juniors going into their senior year. You go to boot camp (junior summer) and when you graduate you go to AIT or whatever you call it. But you cant do that as a Marine... only if you go to OCS I believe.

Sure you can, but a lot of the Drill Instructors will be more than happy to teach your college classes during all the free time you will have. I might add that most of the Drill Instructors are certified College Instructors.

Are You S***** Me. What ever happened to Finishing what you Started. If you ain't committed enoguh to follow where others before you have gone, Then don't TRY to get in The Formation and Change YEARS of TRADITION. You wanta Real Education, Do your time in The Corp and then IF you decide to get out, Go to College. My money is that you'll learn more in 13 Weeks on The Island than you will in 4 years at The University.I've been both places.

Let me see if I understand this correctly...
from your 4 posts in the last two days;
You are overweight and want a waiver.
You only want to do half of the required training at boot camp this year.
You want the government to pay for all your college.
You don't want to deploy anywhere at anytime for any reason.

Outside of a free ride through college, why are you wanting to join the Marine Corps?
Were you not booted off here a few weeks ago for disrespect to a lot of Marines on this very site??

I am not trying to be rude. I just want to make sure I have you sighted up correctly.

I did about 5 days boot,,, and spent the next month in PCP. Is that the break you were talkin about?

Now you gotta admit, this is almost as good as Marine 84s question on organism. I think I just had one reading this question.

I have spent hours trying to come up with a good answer and so far have come up with only demeaning derrogatory and stupid remarks. I swear I can not come up with one good thing to say.

Reads to me: "Ok I'm a fat bench warmer on a sports team. I want to join the Marines to get a free ride in college. I need a magic potion to lose 30 lbs in 3 weeks. I want waivers for everything from drug use to fat body and I want to break boot camp into increments as I think one long 13 week run will be too hard."

Of course the other 3.5 years active has not even come into play in my tiny little mind. Please barack save me... all I want is free housing for the poor and free health care and more money for doing nothing plus an education ... please Mr. Obama get elected .... I will do anything including faking my way into the Marines for your help.
