Well the tattoo has been removed already. The Navy recruiter showed me a sheet that showed those re codes and said that I could not join the Navy, however, a Marine at headquarters told me that I would have to get a waiver. So this sheet is saying that I can not obtain this waiver? A friend of mine recieved an re of 3f or 3p, im not sure which one, and is reenlisting at this time.

As far as I know, Marines are pretty much skipping anyone who needs a waiver. No reason to try to get a waiver for them when there's plenty of people in line who don't need one. From what RI is saying though, you wouldn't be able to get a waiver for it anyway.

Did you try the Army? If they take you, you might be able to make an interservice transfer later on, although it would be a long shot.

What I'm curious about is why did it take so long to become an issue? Why was it an issue at PI and not to your recruiter, or MEPS? Or did you hide it?

I think there's some untold story here...

Did you try going back through a recruiter? What about talking to an OSO (your in school now anyway). If it wasn't overtly racist or sexist I imagine you could have an opportunity to state your case. If it is something you really want that bad, write to your congressman. You may very well be SOL but at least you will know you tried.

I've really gotta wonder what it was, if guys can get in with "Your Welcome" tattooed on their lower abdomen I can't imagine there isn't someone to which you couldn't state your case.

An RE-3-P is a discharge for a physical disability. They list examples as obesity or motion sickness. You can still reenlist but you need a waver.

I had sixteen years in the Marine Corps and was medically retired.....

I feel for you on it being your dream job....

However...... even in your moments of sadness..... you need to face that even though you were cut short of your dreams....you did your service honorably and you will always be a Marine now and beyond the grave....

That is something no one can take from you.....

I don't have a pic but the tattoo said M.O.B. and was about 3 1/2 by 1 1/2 inches, on my inner, right bicep. I got the tattoo because I lost a bet; I did not in any way want the tattoo or support it and it isn't gang related. In case you dont know, M.O.B. stands for money over *****es, commonly said by Li'l Wayne. I know. I was dumb. But something to end a military career over? I dunno.

I never said that it wasn't my fault? I told them that it meant mind over body but the gunny didn't believe me so....... and I only did it because my recruiter told me to lie about it and was like "yeah, it wont be a problem. dont worry about removing it," when I was going to remove it in the first place. And yes, let this be a lesson to all the poolees...dont get stupid tattoos...wait, dont get any tattoos if youre going into the Marine Corps...:iwo:

Again....that's Gunnery Sergeant to you!
And for a recruiter to tell you to lie about a tattoo like that, I highly doubt a recruiter would say that knowing what the tattoo means and jeopordize their career over it. If the recruiter told you to jump off of the building, would you?
Even if the recruiter told you to lie like you said, you should've been man enough to fess up on what it meant to the doctors at MEPS....and whatever happened from that point on...happens.

Protoboy12

02-19-10, 11:07 AM

Yeah....it's easy to say that now but when you're 18, don't know anything about the Marine Corps, it's an easy mistake to make. I'm pretty sure at least half of all the other recruits in my platoon lied about SOMETHING while enlisting or conveniently left something out.:tank:

Yeah, I gotcha, phantom. There were a few kids that I heard got dropped for failing the drug screening, too. There were like two other kids that said they lied about having ADD when they were a kid, just little stupid things like that. But yeah, I understand that the Marine Corps tried to get me in once but I lied to them so I am not in a position to ask for a second chance. However, I have now applied for the change of RE code to the Naval board of corrections. Thanks for all the information though everyone! and a few laughs haha:beer:
Oh yeah and I didn't realize that I was supposed to have a full profile; sorry about that. But I'm done now!

Applying to the BCNR will be a wonderful waste of time and paperwork. The code will NOT be changed, as it's up to HQMC to do that, and they won't. No matter what the tat means/says, (to you), it means whatever the Marine Corps WANTS it to mean. You fraudulently enlisted, either with/about the tat or became a CO in Recruit Training. EITHER way, the Corps is done with you. Realize that and move on.

As far as the Guard goes, those of you who scoff at them, yeah, they aren't Marines. BUT, they do some decent stuff, and if you are serious about getting trigger time, or college money, or the light at the end of the tunnel (retirement), then look into 'em. I see more Marine bumper stickers at my Air Guard unit than I do Air Force. My XO, 1 of our PA's, and several of our med techs are former MARINES. We also have 2 former Navy Corpsman (FMF). And we are a MEDICAL unit. Scattered throughout the rest of the wing are well over 100 Marines.

So, laugh if you want, but I retire in August...15 years active USMC and the rest GUARD/Reserves....and guess what? When I draw my nice fat check at age 60, it'll say "DFAS" on it and the money spends the same.

Think long and hard on that.
