I'm sure your recruiter meant discharging you from the DEP.
Have you been participating in monthly poolee functions/meetings? If not, this may be the reason why your recruiter insists on you being at this poolee function/meeting.
^^^^^Pardon my younger green brothers statement above it doesn't cover your situation. <br />
<br />
Poolee's can be "removed" from the "delayed entry program" reguardless of what word they use to describe...

I pulled the trigger before checking the sight picture.
If your question is if they kick you out of the Delayed Entry Program then the answer is yes they can. It would affect how you might be able to join (but wouldn't absolutely prevent joining) after being removed from DEP. My apologies for any confusion.

BenV I suggest you get the priorities straight in your life. If your personal responsibilites out weight joining the most elite military force in the world then by all means miss your poolee meeting but be prepared to not be a part of the DEP program any longer. Do you want to be a Marine or not is the question you have to answer for yourself, Some people are just not cut out for it. I was in the DEP program and made every Poolee meeting because it was priority 1 in my life. I had a fiance that was whining about me leaving and I never spoke to her again.

lol poolee functions are not mandatory. if he actually tries to remove/eject/discharge/separate/whatever you from the DEP then find another recruiter <br />

oh ****ing please. poolee functions do not...
Who can I ask to talk to that would be above my recruiter so I can see if it's not as big of a deal as hes making it seem. And if it came down to it how can I get a new recruiter?

Why are you registered on this Forum as a " Marine Friend " instead of Poolee/DEP ?
You might want to square that sh*t away now !!!

oh ****ing please. poolee functions do not mean jack crap once you're in boot camp.
Obviously Poolee functions mean alot to his recruiter thus the threat. I would not be so quick at to take the threat lightly.
BenV I would attend the function at all cost if you want to be a Marine. The Marine Corp is a really small organization and I am sure your recruiter would not be happy if you went over his head. Go over a superiors head at your own peril.

If you are in the DEP fill out your profile as such or you will be Bounced out of here.

You are not Marine Corps material yet. I realize you are still a slimey civilian but indications are you want it both ways; your way first and then the Marine Corps way. Truth is...there is only one way (and it ain't yours).
And yes, it does matter if you follow site rules because if you can't follow the simple rules here now, how in the hell do you expect to follow the strict rules at bootcamp? Do you expect to go over the heads of your DI's when you have a personal conflict...really? If you ever make it to the fleet, do you expect to go over the heads of your NCO's every time you have a personal conflict? You need a wake-up call and it's coming real soon.
You think you have problems now...go ahead and fire your recruiter...there will be no doubts afterwards.
It takes plenty of sacrafice to earn the title and not everyone can do it. You need to begin getting your priorities straight. Just how high up on your priority list is becoming a Marine (doesn't sound very high to me or at least not as high as other stuff; your recruiter is trying to change that).

chill pill, it's the internet. :angel:

you could find another recruiting office in the area. technically he does have the option of removing you from the dep but it doesn't prevent another recruiting from taking your package and working with it.
it's up to you to prioritize the situation but one thing I can promise you is that the instant you step on the footprints no one gives a flying ****doodle how many poolee functions you went to.
Obviously Poolee functions mean alot to his recruiter thus the threat. I would not be so quick at to take the threat lightly.

Maybe his recruiter needs to get his priorities straight. Some people have **** in their lives to take care of like school or work or even family functions. The Marine Corps is not a small enough organization that he has to really concern himself with ****ing off one solitary recruiter. As long as he does it respectfully then there's little to worry about.
Enlisting into the military does not require one to relinquish everything else in their lives before they've even taken the first step. Relax. Not that big of a deal.

This is so silly and it can only come from people who didn't grow up with the internet so I understand. But seriously, ignoring the rules on an internet forum does not translate to having problem in boot camp.

No,it might not translate into having problems in boot, but the point that Top is trying to make LCpl is that if you cant follow something simple like obeying rules that are posted very clearly because you just dont want to, clearly show a lack of respect and discipline. Whether its a big deal or not, rules are rules and are in place for a reason. It's imperative that the poolee learn how to follow orders. I would be HIGHLY ****ed off if one of my Pvt's or PFC's told me what they were and were not going to do after I made it very clear what they are to do. It's not all about this forum, the poolee clearly shows he has a problem with taking orders and that has to change.

Very nicely stated Top. I was going to tear directly into this kid but decided to take a less abrasive avenue of approach. Hopefully he will repriortize the meeting and become a Marine but in all likely hood he will do as the great Swami said and go find a new recruiter in another town. Then his original recruiter will see him on a poolee list and make the dreadful call.
All that we can do is make suggestions that's why it is called ask a Marine. I do miss the azz chewings I got from Sgt Maj. Simpkonez when ever he was having a bad day. He used me as a sounding board for therapy I suppose. Thanks for your service Top!

Or it could just be the fact that young people who grew up with the internet don't tend to read site TOSes and forum rules.
The only way this is an issue is if someone is incapable of separating the internet from real life, in which case that kind of person probably isn't someone you want to handle a rifle to in the first place because they think the world is like call of duty. Or battlefield 2 but really, EA has been sucking it up lately.

Well, The Great Swami (aka Fatty) is all about making nice with the poolees and wannabes. Let's not upset the poor little things and heaven forbid their feelings get hurt. Afterall, the USMC is just another service, nothing special about it. The recruiters are only salesmen doing their job; nothing special about them and no need to show them any respect. If you're not happy with the customer service just go shop somewhere else. It's not really about the USMC; it's all about what the kids want. Us dinosaurs who grew up without the benefit of the internet are just silly and irrelevant in his eyes. I suppose years of experience, sacrafice/loss, service, and esprit de corps don't count for much in Swami's world.

If I recall correctly you sign a inital contract and swear into the DEP and agree to make at least monthly contact with your recruiter and attend functions as needed. just because you don't feel like going isn't a valid reason not to go. Yes you can be bounced out of the dep because quite frankly the Marine Corps isnt hurting for numbers.
YourPhoneisMine are you getting out of the Marines any time Soon because your stinking up the place. I truly hope you dont talk to your NCO's and SNCO's like you do on here. But since you can hide behind the internet there are no reprocussions for your actions or so you think. The fact that you will come on here and so disrespectfully discredit your fellow Marines in front of a poolee speaks tons about your Charicter. But hey your a salty Lance Coolie, you got the Corps by the balls.

Nah, sticking around. And none of my NCOs act like some do here. I respect them as people in addition to respecting their ranks.
I think it's important for poolees to a see a sampling of the entire Marine Corps, not just the ones who can't see its flaws.

Staff Sergeant,
If I am correct, you are an active USMC recruiter or otherwise involved in the recruiting service.
For the benefits of all hands, would you mind offering your personal opinion/experience on what happens when a poolee is unsatisfied with his recruiter, for whatever reason, and decides to fire him? Any repurcussions to anybody involved? Is this something you would recommend doing?
It would certainly clear up some things going on in this thread and others.
Thank you sir and thank you for your service.
