You have that option to switch, however the US Army does not have to technically release you from your contract until you fail to ship for Basic Training (it is the same way for all other branches). Now as a US Army Recruiter you have to understand that when you enlisted in the Army you got to choose your specific MOS based on you ASAVB score, where in the Marines you will choose three career fields and which ever one opens first the Marine Corp will give you. People enlist into the Marine Corps for one of four reasons; 1. They like the uniform 2. They think they are hardcore 3. Family tradition 4. Following their friend's. You don't join the Marine Corps for job experience or college money, don't get me wrong they are a great branch of service but they are also the smallest branch. They are controlled by the Department of the Navy, the majority of their training is conducted at an Army installation, and if you are not located at Paris Island, Camp Lejeune or 29 Palms you most likely will be on a ship with the Navy. Think about it there is a reason why you choose the Army first.

∙ 13y agoI'm afraid not. Once you sign the papers, that's the way it is. Your best bet is to wait and try to transition from the Navy to the Army once your contract expires, but it's not easy. Just do the best you can now and hope we go to war again soon.
