In the past I have crossed paths with a handful of people who took their time and graduated in one field of work but find themselves working in an entirely different field. My degree in EMS is an AAS...

No better way to open with an appropriate opening statement... Thank you for your service Marines!

I would like to start off going into my present situation and how I can possibly with your help...

I should have kept it simple. Even if I have 100 college credits when I enlist does it count throughout my service towards promotion ? Or does it get DQ'd for promotion points once I got rank ?...

I did research on the matter but I did not find an answer to this, as always I fall back to leatherneck.
If I enlist with 40 college credits, I have been told I will get in with e-2 (Recruit none...

What happened to Alameda, California ?

Tennessee Top. Does bi-weekly field days mean you only go to the field every other week ? If so, technically speaking would that mean that it would be easier to get college classes in ?

USMCARivera. Any chance you can look into this and confirm ?

Thank you! This post can be deleted. I honestly do my own work. I just needed to know where to start off. I thought the whole 4th Marine division for Recon was based in California. I am beginning to...

UPDATE JANUARY 2015
"As of this time, Marines who go through MCT meaning your job is not 03xx/infantry are now being allowed to try out for Recon. This is something new and prior to this, only...

After doing some research I have been told that the only way to get into a reservist slot as an 0321, is if there is a slot available at a local duty station (sorry if I am not using the right...

Honestly, you guys are amazing. No less. I would have never been able to get a hold of this information outside of leatherneck, I doubt my recruiter would mention this. Now back to the topic at hand....

Thank you for this information! Can you please mention a factor or two or whatever you may know ? Because if it will anyways take me x amount of time in the fleet I might as well secure a 0351...

Check this out: It mentions the Reserve option.

Even as an 0311 (you say 0351 can't attend without putting in time with the Reserves Unit first), with a perfect PFT, it is unlikely for me to go from the Reserve Unit ? Would they let me volunteer...

I just got all my necessary credits, just waiting for the transcripts and I will be good to go. I was told soonest I can ship is most probably June, but I understand that its all about the contract....

Will there be any chance the Marine can still try out for BRC but request to do it at a later date? For example I'm pretty comfortable in water, I just really believe that I should put more work into...

1. If the HZ contract was secured as a reservist, do you go straight to MART ? How long would MART be ? Or will(-I [OR) THE] the Marine get sent back home to be a weekend warrior until there is a...

I understand that USMC boot camp should be my priority right now, but I wanted to make sure I secured the best option for the future. Once a Marine graduates boot camp, excels in SOI (ITB)...

LCPL1341, thank you! That definitely helps me understand. I am right now putting together my transcripts hopefully to get a contract as an E-2. I am also working out on my swimming skills. I was told...

I am about facing my attitude. Apologies. I thank you for your service, I am undoubtedly wrong on my approach. My first wake up call, I should have been a whole lot more respectful. I keep hearing...

I have browsed and not found one response to any questions asked concerning this pipeline. So respectfully, I call bull****. I am aware of the drop out rate, thank you. I never said I was looking to...

Unless it is for security reasons, I fail to understand why no one seems to be able to write down a response. My concerns are past boot camp.

I understand that. Thank you! I appreciate the tips and the focus pointers. But again, for informational purposes... Please read post 10.

Once you graduate as an 0321, even as a reservist... Do you get to go to HALO/HAHO Jump School, Divers and volunteer for all the other courses like rangers and SERE ?

Josephd, thank you very much for this information, I take it that each school after BCR has it's own standards. Would you know any of them ? Are they schools trying to filter potentials (like BCR) or...
