While I'am DAMN proud to be a U.S. Marine, it's comments like this that make us not liked by A TON of people. I saw it first hand while on recruiting duty. While it may be a joke, people who have...

No, its way easier than trying to go back to active duty. If you leave AD, the chances of you getting back in right now is very slim. You would contact a prior service recruiter and get the ball...

Yes, after your active duty enlistment is up.

the score of 37 does not matter for your MM score. I have enlisted kids that have scored 40 but had an MM of 105. On the other hand I have had kids with a 55 AFQT who couldnt even get 100 MM. I...

Before we continue to post and give you thr pros/cons to this, I would see a recruiter or ask your recruiter if you can speak to the OSA (officer selection Assistant). It's usualy a GySgt who works...

It's not the recruiters. It's the Marine Corps. People like yourself are always quick to point out why do recruiters do this... or why do RECRUITERS do that.... again, it's the Corps, NOT the...

I would make sure that you dress nice. Don't wear a shirt and tie, but a nice shirt and make sure that its tucked in. Also, comb your hair and be respectful. You'll do fine.

Ok kid, when ANYBODY DEPs into the Corps they sign an ope contract prior to MEPS. The Corps can NOT guarantee you a specific MOS field till you are morale(police, etnac check), mentally(H.S. diploma,...

Very true, some of these can be waived. For this kid though, he has had multiple charges regardless if you were convicted or not your still getting charged with criminal actions, and he has a BIG...

it depends, I would check out the Active Reserve first. Your on Active duty, just in support of the reservists. You can get stationed just about anywhere there is a reserve station.

Don't worry about your fathers signature kid, your recruiter or his/her NCOIC will handle that. In a nutshell they will get into contact with a nearby recruiter in Florida and your dad will meet with...

Actually I have. If you were on recruiting duty and didn't earn a ribbon it's because you either didn't complete your tour successfully or you got into some kind of trouble on recruiting duty and got...

One more thing, not all recruiters out there are the same. You might have some lazy ones, but in my 3 years on the duty all 7 of the recruiters I worked with tried hard to get the young man/woman...

I see you have a recruiting ribbon, NOT. I do, I was a recruiter from 2005-2007. It is by FAR they toughest non-combat MOS in the Corps period. You are only touching the surface. You have some MINOR...

Yes, You can go on recruiting duty as a Cpl. I worked with a Cpl who was a recruiter when I was on recruiting duty. He was actually a damn good recuiter. He got promoted to Sgt. after 6 months or so....

I was on recruiting duty for 3 years, 2005-2007. The recruiters I worked with, including myself would tell it like it is. My motto was call a spade a spade. If your not qualified, any recruiter would...

It's fine going in married, I have a few good buddies in the Corps who have been married since day one. Whoever told you that it's not a good idea probably had a rough married life, or wasn't man...

Best advice is go talk to a recruiter. You should probably talk to one in California if you want reserves.

Nobody here could answer that question. MOS's are assigned by the recruiting station and it's different for every RS and every state as far as MOS's. I suggest you talk to your station NCOIC...

Oh, one more thing. It's called Recruit training in the Corps.

You can always try another recruiting station. I don't mean another RSS, but a another recruiting station. For example RS Phoenix covers all of Arizona, so a person there would have to go to...

Will that course through the CC give you college credits? If so, you need 15 college credits/units of 100 level classes to be considered a HS graduate.

I would call a recruiting station first prior to going. Recruiters are very busy, and they might not talk to you much because your able to join anytime soon. I would call and talk to them and they...

Your parent's consent is for you to the the MEPS doctor(s). In any state a minor (anyone under 18) can not be seen by a doctor without parental consent. So, in reality your parents are only...

I would ask for a low fade and you probably get a medium fade. Also, try and go to a shop that Marines don't really go to because barbers that cut Marines always seem to think we want high and tight....
