Stay with the Guard,you'll be able to retire.I don't think you'll get back into the Corps.Good luck.

I am a prior Marine Sergeant, served 2004-2013. I just turned 30, and I have always felt the pull to get back in the Marine Corps. I have an RE-3O for choosing to EAS instead of take my recruiting orders, and I have a good amount of medical paperwork for two hernia surgeries. I have two questions: 1) Can I get my RE-3O changed to an RE-1A? And 2) I left as a Sergeant with 9 years time in service, will I go back in as an E5 or be reduced in rank? Thank you for your time. It feels good to be around Marines again, even if it is online!

why not start your own thread?....you just dug up one from 3 years ago and hijacked it.

you may be able to get back in with the reserves, not active

1) cant answer

2) no, you would be brought back as an E4. And just some FYI, PME requirements have completely changed recently so picking up E5/Sgt again will be pretty difficult

Why do you say he will be reduced in rank? Is this for everyone returning to AD and the reserves as a Sgt?

reserves or active, if you've been out for more than 2 years(unless its changed recently) they reduce you in rank.

you don't get reduced if you're a SNCO

Sorry about that...Not trying to hijack anything. Thanks, I'll start my own.
