Your pay rate depends on your rank.
You can be 17 with your parent/legal guardian's permission. You must be finished with your junior year of high school.
It's made to teach you how to learn and be adaptable and to get you prepared for military life. If you cant be disciplined, you wont do very well in any MOS. Marine Corps boot camp is made to break you and build you back up into a confident individual. after boot camp you will attend the school of the MOS you chose and after completion of that school you would attend the school of infantry because the Marine Corps beleives every man is a rifleman. boot camp wont teach you how to do infantry tactics. but like the message below says, they teach you the BASICS so you cant get started. To learn the basics of being an infantryman. The infantry is the "base" of the US Army. All other branches (MOS's) are designed to support the infantry: Armor provides shock action, Artillery provides firepower, Aviation provides support, transportation & firepower, Military Policemen provide security, Engineers provide support, etc. it smacks the civilian out of you and puts military discipline in you. they break you then remold you into a soilder.
Ages 19 through 26 were the largest groups of men netted by the government. One must remember boot camp was tough in the 1960s. The training cadre (senior NCOs and Majors and above) were WWII veterans. Those WWII vets didn't play games! (They definitely were not politically correct!). Ages 19-26 were pretty healthly age groups to withstand boot camps back then.

There is no boot camp for Marines in Texas. Only three places in the entire world make Marines: USMCRD Parris Island, SC (Makes enlisted Marines), USMCRD San Diego, CA (Makes enlisted Marines), and USMCB Quantico, VA, which is the olnly place in the world which makes Marine Officers.
It is a pittance, but there are no pogie bait machines to squander it on.
