I just picked up with my unit last week and we don't deploy until next year. I was wondering if I am able to do ptad and how long ptad is for. Also who I ask about it and if it can get denied. we don't start the work up cycle for a while and I want to get points.

He's probably referring to recruiter's assistance.

You need to speak with your NCOs. And yes, like anything else in the Marine Corps, you can volunteer all you want but almost nothing is guaranteed.

I'd recommend waiting until you pick up Lance Corporal... recruiting points don't mean jack until then.

:thumbup: True statement there.



But to answer your question you could always contact your recruiter and ask if they need any Marines for R.A., if they do I believe they need to make contact with your unit requesting you for R.A. Your best bet would be to ask your leadership what the requirements are within your unit. If they don't know the answer they should be able to find you the answer.
