My name is Jordan, I am 17 years old, just graduated from highschool and I have decided (for some time now) that I want to become a marine. The only problem is that I do not currently live in America. I am an American citizen, but my parents live in saudi arabia, and I am staying with friends in Toronto, Canada. I plan to take the asvab at the American embasy in toronto, but it will be a problem getting all of my stuff to south carolina for bootcamp. What should I do?
1. When I go to sign up can I just take a bus to south carolina and attend bootcamp directly after signing my contract? If not what are/ where can I find the list of bootcamp ship out dates?
2. I have heard from people that it is now an option for new recruits to sign up for mos 0321 (recon man), which you previously needed atleast 4 years of experiance and a refal from your co. Does anybody have more information on this, I have good act scores and I am a stellar athlete so I wanted to try out for force recon.
3. Please give me any information you guys think might be helpfull to me, I know you guys are the best of the best and that you must have went through hell and then some to get that honor, and I want to be as prepaired as possible before boot in november (when I turn 18) so that I can do the same too. Semper fi,
Jordan
