Do you have to fight if you are a marine'?
That is one of the main concepts of the Marine Corps. Every Officer and every enlisted person (medical and chaplains excepted) is a rifleman. Once they are that, then they may become a specialist in some other area, such as communications or artillery.
How long does training to be a US Marine take?
A lot. They go through the same basic training all soldiers go through but then of course go through a whole bunch of specialized training as a marine.
Where is the information on preparing for a Marine OCS?
Marine OCS refer to the American Marine Corp Officer Training School. Information on preparing for a Marine OCS is available from the Marine Corps, or from specialist websites such as Squidoo.
Why did the marines separate from the navy?
They didn't. The two forces both operate under the Department of the Navy and have a close relationship. Marine forces often provide security on Navy ships, and many Navy ships have Marine units stationed on them (including an air wing) on a semi-permanent basis. Certain "behind the scenes" jobs, such as chaplains or medics, are filled in the Marine Corps ranks by Navy personnel because the Marines don't train those positions. These personnel wear Marine uniforms with Navy insignias. Marine officers are trained at the Naval Academy, and Navy officer training includes some training by a Marine Corps drill instructor.
If you are in college how long does it take to become a US Marine?
If you wish to be an enlisted Marine then from the time you enlist until you graduate Boot Camp is about 3 months. At hat point you are considered a Marine but it is probable you will require more specialized training. You can earn a commission, become an officer, by graduating from a Military Academy, going through the ROTC (Reserve Officer Training Corps) program while graduating for a civilian University that offers that program, or through a direct commission from the Enlisted ranks. All these take at least 4 years.

Can you take marine recon training without becoming a marine?
No, you will not be allowed, unless you are doing so through agreement with another service. The military does not equip civilians with training that has no civilian bearing. It would not be appropriate.
Do you have to go through college NROTC to become on officer in the US Marine Corps or is high school NROTC enough?
In order to become a Marine Corps Officer you have to go through the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps program in college, go through OCS after College, or go to the Naval Academy. All Marine Corps Officers are college graduates. You can enlist after high school but the program in high school is not strictly military training, it is only military affiliated. In fact ROTC in High School may not help you very much in trying to become a Marine Officer. The majority of high school ROTC members who eventually join the military enlist, while many officers played a couple of sports and worked on getting good grades more than anything else. Talk to a recruiter if you are interested in going enlisted, or try to find the Naval ROTC at colleges you are interested for more information on becomming an Officer. You have to graduate with a college degree in order to be commissioned an Officer. If you flunk out of college, you will not get a commission even if you complete all the ROTC requirements/courses.
How much to get in to marine training camp?
Marine Boot Camp does not cost money. Those that enlist are provided their uniforms, food and shelter as well as their training. They even pay those that are going through boot camp!
What is basic training for the Marines?
To become an enlisted Marine, no college degree is required. To become an Officer of Marines a bachelor or 4 year college degree is required from an accredited school. You may major on any subject and become an officer.
