Both the Navy and Marine Corps rejected him as to short.
The oath that all soldiers in the US military make is the Oath of Enlistment or the Oath of Office, depending on their status. The Oath of Enlistment is taken by enlisted personnel and includes a commitment to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. The Oath of Office is taken by officers and includes a pledge to support and defend the Constitution and to bear true faith and allegiance to the same.
It is a Military RE-Code or Re-Enlistment code. An RE-4B means that a person is not eligible for reenlistment in the US Marine Corps due to drug use. It is generally associated with a dishonorable discharge!
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.
The US Army has an enlistment program to help recruit troops.
The Oath of Allegiance is an oath of loyalty made by American immigrants to the US.
actually a better question would be what is the marine cores equivalent to the army rangers. the rangers are considered more highly trained and more elite soldiers than the marines (although a marine will tell you other wise). And the marines equivalent would be MARSOC which stands for Marine Special Operations Command.
A standard term of enlistment in the US Army in 1964 was 2 years. Source: My dad, who was enlisted for 2 years.
The oath appears in the US Constitution.
In the US Army, no. The minimum age for enlistment in the US military is 17.
Depends on your perspective. You can't serve in both branches at the same time, but you could serve in both branches within the span of your military career. Let's say, you do an enlistment in the Marines, get out, a couple years later, you want back in, and you end up joining the Army. The Marines claim "once a Marine, always a Marine", and, if this is true, someone who did what was described above (enlisting into the Army after serving a stint in the Marines) could technically be both.
The oath may be taken before the President, the Vice-President, the Secretary of Defense, any commissioned officer, or any other person designated under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Defense. Active duty, reserve, guard or retired commissioned officers of the US Armed Forces may administer the oath. Officers who resigned their commissions, and were transferred to the Obligated Reserve Section (ORS) or the Non-affiliated Reserve Section (NARS), may not administer the oath. (Exception: Commissioned warrant officers in the grade of CW2, CW3 and CW4 may also administer the oath).
