While talking to a recruiter, he told me I could not choose my MOS if I were to go active duty, it would be based on the needs of the Marine Corps. However, he did say that I could tryout for recon from any MOS when a slot becomes available. My question is, is this true? And if so, how often do these slots open for tryouts?

  6. Can I Make It Through USMC Boot Camp?

    There comes a time in life when you will ask yourself if you have what it takes to be a U.S. Marine. This question is a rather easy one to answer, but a very complex one to explain.

Today because of the many movies, video games, and internet sources many people both civilian and military have many misconceptions about what the Marine Corps is like and what it takes to make it as a Marine. Many ...
