[Cressler]

First I'd like to say yes i know there are other threads and i did look a few up but couldnt find any of the specific answers i was looking for.

Second I'd like to say thanks prior to the answers

Third, The question I know about the 19 year old age rule. I was wondering and my recruiter also was unsure about if that was for active and reserves or just reserves. He's talking to the Major to try and find out but i'm just trying to find a quicker answer.

Also is the 19 years old upon completion of MP school or bootcamp? or when do you have to be 19 by

Anyone who can answer thank you:flag:

[Fubar5812]

yes it applies to reserves and active duty.

you need to be 19 by the END OF MP SCHOOL. we had a girl who got held in MATT platoon (Marines awaiting transfer/training) for 8 monthes so that she would be 19 by the end of MP school,she did alot of recruiters assistance though.
