New to the Marines Question: Presidential Guard and more
Hello - my daughter is engaged to a Marine just leaving for boot camp. I am trying to research as much as I can. Questions are as follows:
1. He said after boot camp he will be stationed in Washington DC and will be going to school for Presidential Guard. He said he will be stationed off base and have a regular 9-5 schedule and allowed to leave on weekends and such. Is this typical?
2. Also, he and my daughter will marry soon, but can she live off base with him if they are not married?
3. Last, is there a typical time period as to when he will be stationed one place and then shipped to another place?
If you ask me specifics about him I am afraid I am not too knowledgeable, he said I can talk to his recruiter but I thought I would start here first. I do know that he immediately upgrades to a position as soon as he enters boot camp due to his 4 years of ROTC, at least that's what I am told.
Any help would be appreciated, I am trying to prepare our family and my daughter for this. Oh and yes I understand a Marine marriage will be difficult. That's why I am trying to research as much as I can.
Thank you.
