Visiting relatives in a foreign country?

[FatalityBoyZahy]

Hey guys,( Marines ). I DEPd into the Marine Corps last week and I was just wondering if it's possible to visit relatives in a foreign country on leave in the Marine Corps?

yes but you'll have to submit paperwork with your chain of command letting them know your travel plans, where you're staying, details of what you'll be doing, etc...And they have the right to deny it if they feel the need to do so.

Thanks for your reply LCPL! I guess that doesn't seem so bad. I'll just have to wait and see.

send a text to your recruiter bro... I went to Canada the summer before I left, texted my recruiter on my way back into the US, he said "um, cool"
