Something that may scare the crap out of some of you
Because of MEPS back in 2008, the whole screw up thingy... Talking with a Marine Recruiter who called me earlier today, (no joke, out of the blue, never even heard of, or met the guy, but my info was in his system, not sure why he'd call me on his day off, but it's really cool he did) apparently there is a "big mistake" (I wanted to say "no ****" but I didn't want to be disrespectful to him) and turns out, I am qualified for service. Outside of having to meet USMC HT/WT reqs (which will be good by mid feb or early march) I'm good to go to join the Military. (USMC at least)
And apparently the USMC is short on Infantry/Tanks/Artillery. And said he's looking for Recruits who want to make things go boom. :D
He did say me being 6' 4'' barrs me from going 1812, but I would be qualifed for 1833 :tank:, 03xx series, and all of the 08xx series as well.
I'm back in business.
Now just have to work on maxing the USMC PT test, and I'm good to go. :banana:
I could go to a training function with him tomorrow, but it wouldn't be feasible because of where I live vs where I'd have to drive, but was instructed to do the pull-ups, crunches, and 1.5 mile run and just call him monday with the scores.
Pushing for mid february to meet HT/WT and PT reqs for Enlistment.
Forgot to ask the question, my question is, how different is the USMC organized and structured vs the Army equivs?
I take it I have a lot of researching to do.........................
And happy, late thanksgiving
