My question is what would happen if you were to injure yourself after bootcamp either in MOS school or wherever you happen to be stationed.
Like say you were lifting weights and you tear something or you get injured during PT? Thanks Marines.

It would all depend on the severity of the injury. While at boot, SOI, or MOS school you would be put on hold from training while you get fixed and heal. If the injury is severe enough with permanent disability you may be processed out.

I think Achped is still in, and judging by how low the cutting scores are for his MOS I'd bet he's a Sgt by now.

The point was lost in the sauce. That lad lost his contracted MOS due to injury. He didn't want to be supply and didn't ask to be supply.
Personal annecdote .... I broke my arm pretty bad in training and all that happened was I had to wear a caste until it was healed then back to work I went. The time while wearing the caste I was the chow hall monitor and crap like that.

So basically it comes down to how severe of an injury and how/when the injury occured. Thank you Marines for all your replies.
