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
You can be called to active duty.
Only certain ones, and you have to summon them. Look up how to in the chaos space marines codex. I believe they come in like reserves and you have to sacrifice an HQ.
US Draftees were expected to serve two years of active duty, one year in Vietnam, if sent there, and four years in the marine or army active/inactive reserves; six years total.
7420 Commandos and 970 reserves
No, you definitely do not need a high school diploma to stay on active duty. You might need one for the reserves if you are going to get money for college.
The National Guard and Reserves are branches of the active duty military.
Yes
There are approximately 5 Recon Marines active. Err
That's a decision you need to weigh carefully and decide for yourself.
5 years active duty and 3 years IRR/reserves
The age limits for the armed forces are as followed; Active army 42, Army Reserves 42, Army National Guard 35, Active Air Force 27, Air Force Reserve 34, Active Navy 34, Naval Reserves 39, Active Marines 28, Marine Corps Reserve 29, Active Duty Coast Guard 27, and Coast Guard Reserves 39.
