I Am A Prior Service Recruiter!

[jeepinguy]

Ok,
Ive been reading a bit here about how some are trying to come back in, and are running into some "substandard" 8411's.
I cant help EVERYONE, but i can provide you with a little over 3 years of experiance as a PSR.
Hit me up here and i will do what i can for you.
In the past i have been able to give IRR Marines a list of documents to walk into a PSR office with, in order to let them know that you are serious. Ive also been able to pinpoint WHY you are being ignored, and how to overcome any "drawbacks"

Before i am overwhealmed you need to disclose your....

I just took an IMA detachment to Wounded Warrior Bn ... I am a non ob reservist. I am an 0311 Sgt and am trying to get with an Infantry BN to get over to Afghanistan. Can you point me in the right direction? My orders end on June 1st but I can de-mob whenever. If you can help me find something for the late spring/ summer that would be IDEAL but whatever you can work please shoot me some info.

MOS: 0311

Tattoos: 4 All tasteful Marine Corps tattoos. One on each shoulder blade. One on each inner bicep

Felon,
Is your IMA w WWBN a mobalized billet?
If so, consider yourself VERY lucky.
I will check my deploying billet tracker when i get back to the office.
Keep this in mind tho..... A few people went out of thier way to qualify and screen you. Im almost cerain that you were not the only one applying for the billet that you landed. With that being said, leaving mid tour would pretty much be giving your billet sponsor the shaft when you left. IF you left to chase a deploying billet. Its alot like saying " thanks for your time, but im outta here because i got a better gig". On occasion, leders kinda expect that kinda stuff from 1st term Marines, but not from a seasoned Sgt.
I realize that you are after an Afghan billet. I just hope you made it clear to those that were involved in your WWBN process.
If i were you, i would ride it out with WWBN, and make the most of it. This will afford you an opportunity to function outside of the 0311 field, and get a fitness report that shows you are able to Lead Marines in any environment. At the same time, you are drawing ACDU pay and entitlements.
i will shoot you a PM with the afghan rotation schedule on Mon or Tues. for spring summer

Hi I have turned 32. I have read all about the constructive age. However I have a decent job and got out in 02 and my IA obligation ended in 06.

I am very happy in my civilian life however I am missing the Corps. I keep reading up and was curious on.

Getting into the reserves I noticed they have a duty station within a hour that has my prior MOS.

Also would it be wise to try and re-enlist into the Inactive component then switch to reserves. (Sorry I read somewhere around here about that) Is this still a option.

Thank You Very Much-

I'm a Drilling Reservist Lcpl, about to marry a freshly minted Marine on her Boot Leave, and want to go on Active Reserve to make it easier for us to be together.

I need information on currently available Active Reserve billets, especially MOS 3451. I've spoken to two PSR's and have received contradictory word. On Nov 14, I spoke with the PSR who recruits in the district where my Unit is located, and he stated that there are available spaces within the AR program to retrain a 2161 to a 3451. As I do not reside within that district, he placed me into contact with the PSR for my home district. I have spoken with the PSR for my home district and he states 1) that the AR program does not retrain (even though the MarAdmin states that Lat moves are available) and 2) that all billets have been filled.

Outside of my home district PSR, how can I go about finding out whether there are available 3451 billets? And, if there are billets still available, how should I go about working with the PSR for my home district?

All, for some reason the leatherneck website has been blocked by my work internet. Provider. As luck would have it I am in the middle of a move and do not have internet at home anymore. As I sit waiting on the bus typing away at my prehistoric cell phone I am unable to answer these questions in a timely manner. I should be able to Ger to them in a few weeks. 2161usmcr.... your Psr is leads than stellar to suggest that the ar doesn't retrain.

Jeepnee,,,,, I have an A1, I did 6 total and would like to bust back in. I'm 60 now but will bring my own ammo. My smokin may keep me outta the run. And my coughin may hold me outta the ambush. Still my AR 15 is good to go. I'm a damm good backup and don't mind dying much these days. Hook me up. Thanks, kid.

You will have to complete an inperson interview with the gaining unit, whichever it is.

That is preceded by a research paper, hand written bio, DLAB score, typing test, and a plethora of paper work from your SRB.

My point is that you may be better served to associate with a local unit and use them to bring your annual stuff up to date.

It is possible to join direct but you will have to be completely proactive in making contact with the CIs of the joining unit in order to be screened. A Prior Service Recruiter can not submit to fill an 0211 BIC without the screening letter.

I have completed this process and it is 99.99% on you. You will only need the PSR for the last .01 percent of the process.

Go for it JAG! The actual constructive age cut off is 28 for active and 29 for reserves. Your constructive age is your actual age minus your years of active service. With 5 years of service your constructive age is 29.

I do have a very good job and a nice life as a civilian however, I have felt like lately something is missing and every time I set my cup on my usmc eagle globe and anchor coaster I get nostalgic and miss everymoment of it. Not to mention when I stop and look at all these people I work with and deal with on a daily basis it makes me sick just how they act and treat themselves no care or respect I don't want to be around it anymore. I want to get back into active duty and this as far as I have gone so far what do I need to do? Thanks for the help.

[C4isfun21]

I'm just curious about the role of the prior service recruiter. I'm in the IRR and working on my IRR reenlistment with MOBCOM. Seperately, I'm working with the PSR at my old reserve unit to pursue a lat move to 0321 and go back into the SMCR. Is this something the PSR is responsible for or should I be talking to the career planner instead?

[jeepinguy]

The Psr can extend you up to one year in order to join a unit. The mobcom career can reenlist you up to three years. If you are retraining thru the psr, the psr can get you three years of obligated time.

I am currently in the SMCR and an E-5. I am getting ready to hopefully submit a package for AR, but want to also know what my options are for Active. I am open to either one. I am currently an 0313 but was an 0311.

Thanks.

I am no longer a PSR.

I am no longer a PSR.

Any chance of you informing your replacement about this site/thread? It's been beneficial to many and I'd like to see somebody (a PSR) step back in and help.

Thanks for the help.

Good luck

Regarding PSEP Packages, I had my interview with the C.O of the San Diego RS and he's going to endorse it. Just wondering if you might know how further up the chain this package has to go and where exactly?

[Showtime]

Been out since November 5, 2011. Started trying to come back in 2 weeks after I got out but no luck. Got out due to child in hospital in GA while I was stationed in 29 palms. I call every month to check if the Corps is accepting prior service. I have a good job but just wanna go back to my life style...

Right now I'm on Recruiter's Assistance at RSS Clairemont in San Diego until I get orders to where they want to send me.

Here is one for the books. Active duty base date is Aug 1982, I left active duty, March 1995 as a Staff Sergeant. Joined IRR unit for 15 months then got out. So I have approximately 14 years good time. I was promoted to Gunnery Sergeant while in the IRR. I have been out (Completely out) since December 1999. I have an RE Code of RE-1 No bad paper, Navy Com Medal and 3 Navy Achievement Medals along with Gulf War Medals . I have a great job that pays six figures in sunny Los Angeles, I should be happy. But I want back in. I'd like to finish out my six year and the very least because I truly miss the big green machine. I’m 49 now, in great shape. I need a reality check from my Brothers in Arms. Anyone feel free to comment, help a Gunny out, DO I HAVE A SHOT?. Semper Fi.

Your constructive age must be under 32. 49-14=35 so sorry Gunny, I dont think you will qualify.

[JonesGySgt]

Thanks for the info devilbones2. So they don't make a waiver for those 3 years? Heartbreak. Would a prior service recuriter (PSR) work with me on this or am I disquailified from even making the attempt. You know we Marines are hard-headed. "If you can't eat it, break it"
