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.

Combat action ribbon you are now in the Army can you wear the combat action badge?
If you rate the CAR you will need to look up the uniform regs for the Army to see whether or not that is transferrable to their equivalent. My suspicion is no, you cannot wear the infantry badge, but I would suspect that you would still be authorized to wear the CAR on your ribbon rack while in uniform. The CAR is not convertable to a CIB or CAB in the Army. You may continue to wear the CAR on your Army uniform. The Navy/Marine Corps allows the conversion the other way because the badge is not authorized for wear on their uniforms. No. There are three requirements for award of a Combat Infantry Badge: Be in the US Army Infantry, or the Special Forces with any MOS except Special Forces Medic. (SF Medics are eligible for the Combat Medical Badge.) You must hold the rank of Colonel or below--generals cannot earn the CIB. Be assigned to a unit at brigade level or below. If you're assigned to Division or Corps headquarters, you can't earn the CIB. While so assigned, participate in combat against the enemy. Now, given that, if you joined the infantry you will get the opportunity to earn the CIB.
