How many Marines are in the US Marines?
About 200,000 US Marines. They have the French Foreign Legion outnumbered 25 to one.Prior to the global war on terror the US Marines had an active duty strength of approximately 183,000. This includes Officers and Enlisted. This end strength is set by Congress (as it is for all services). The Marine Corps also has a sizable reserve made up by both active duty Marines that have served at least one full term of enlistment on active duty, as well as reservists that served only on active duty for training. Frequently the US Marine Corps would "get around" the limitation on end strength by bringing reservists on active duty for periods of up to one year to augment the active duty corps, and these reservist did not count against the active duty end strength.Since the GWOT, congress approved a significant increase in the active duty end strength to something like 225,000. This does not include the Marine Reserve units that were activated for the 2nd Gulf War to bulk up the US Forces in Theater.The US Marines are a smaller service because they are considered elite and hold themselves to a higher standard than virtually all military services around the globe. They are in fact the largest all elite force on earth.

How common is it for someone to get a college degree while in the Marines?

When is the blood stripe issued in the usmc?
It is not issued, it is earned. Officers earn it by completing training to qualify for active duty. Enlisted Marines earn it by earning the non-commissioned officer status of at least corporal. As a fairly large number of active-duty Marines have not yet reached that status, a fairly large number of Marines can not wear it on dress blue uniforms.
What can you do in Marine reserves?
The Marine Corps Reserves do the EXACT same thing as active duty Marines except they are reserves. Instead of going to work EVERYDAY, they go to work once a month. They are expected to do the exact same PFT as active and have the exact same expectations and requirments as active duty Marines. The only real difference is the name. Active and reserve. Hope this helps
Do you have to serve 4 years in the U.S.A. Marines or are there shorter terms?
When you enlist, into any of the military services, you are signing a contract for the next SIX years. Most Marines spend four years on active duty and two years on inactive duty. Reserve Marines spend two years on active duty and four years on active reserve. This consists of monthy meeting for one weekend and two weeks of training each year. But with Bush's war now going on you can pretty much figure all six years active whichever way you go.
