You let your enlistment with the Navy expire and then join the Marines. There is no 'transfer' between the two units. If you are a Corpsman, you can be asked to serve with the Marines.
Membership in the Marines marching band has the same requirements as standard enlistment, as well as experience on an applicable instrument.
No. Once you sign that contract you are required to fullfill your enlistment.
It began on 13 August 1918 with the enlistment of Opha Mae Johnson.
LOL. the marines are for people who have criminal records, are dumb, or just have a death wish.........they will take anyone. The only questions are how soon can you start........
Not an easy prospect. You can talk with your recruiter. Try to get Sniper school specified in your enlistment contract.
Actually I have! I was in the Marines first for for full enlistment, then the AF, then the Navy, then got a Commission in the Army.
Some obvious physical problems would be being paralyzed or missing an arm, leg, or other limb.
An unlikely scenario is to return to the country of legal residence and apply for immigration as a legal resident alien. Apply for enlistment.
you should be able to as long as you don't wear anything denoting rank (ie chevrons) or your name with the "u.s. marines" nametape on the blouse, at least not until after graduating boot camp.
You go to an Armed Services Recruiting Center and express your interest in enlistment to the Marine Corps recruiter. They pretty much guide you the rest of the way.
Like all military personnel in the US, they can retire from military service after there first enlistment is over. The standard enlistment is 4 years, but sometimes the first one can be 6 years depending on the branch/career chosen. For the Marines it's generally 4 years. Military Service men and women can re-enlist and if they stay in the Military for 20 years earn a full government pension.
