Normally, one cannot be part of two organizations at one time. Once you complete your term of enlistment, you may join as long as your "re" code is usually 2 or less. sometimes a 3 is ok with a waiver. With a waiver you, more than likely, will not receive an enlistment bonus until you complete an enlistment honorably. Tennessee has an enlistment term of one year, which is ideal for someone in this case. But to answer your question concisely, yes, after you are discharged from the Marines. Oh, if you don't have an mos that is applicable in the Army or you would like to choose a different one you may have to complete an additional school, not a big deal though. Hope that helps.

After Vietnam, the press was highly restricted; "embedded" was the new term for them.

First of all, marines are in the Marine Corps and Soldiers are in the Army. But to answer the question, it depended on many factors, the most important of which is ther terms of the individual enlistment contract. Draftees could anticipate at least two years in uniform, while enlistees would normally serve a 3 to 4 year term. A more important factor is where someone served. Almost all the combat troops in the Marines served in the Pacific Theater, while most soldiers served in Europe.
There is no "North Vietnam" as a country. The term "North Vietnam" was an erronous term used by the US to justify there intervention into Vietnam after the Paris Peace Accord 1954 which temporarily divide the country into 2 parts, North and South. FoIn the history there was no north or south country in Vietnam. The capital of Vietnam is Hanoi.

Yes, but it is typically used for the Army. GI stands for government issue and was used as a general term for any member of the US military. Marines would prefer to be called Marines or Jarheads.

The term "BAM" is a derogatory term which stands for "Broad Assed Marine" and is used in reference to Women Marines.
