What websites talk about how to become a Marine?
There are a couple of good sites that offer a lot of information about the realities of joining the USMC. Have a look at: http://usmilitary.about.com/od/marines/United_States_Marines.htm AND http://www.military.com/military-fitness/marine-corps-basic-training/want-to-become-marine AND http://www.marines.com
Dear Sir or Madam. My name is Darrell Kenneth Chambers; I joined the Marine Corps when I was in high school. I couldn't go because of my back, I have scoliosis. I am now 40 years old, in good shape and again asking if I could be given the opportunity?
Hi Darrell, No, unfortunately you are not able to enlist in the Marine Corps at age 40. The maximum enlistment age for Active Marines is 28 and for the Marine Corps Reserve it's 29.
What is the grammatical error in a good marine follow personal hygiene procedures daily.?
Either A good marine follows or Good marines follow.
Can you stay in the marine corps with bedwetting?
yes you can depending if you are good
Do marines usually take their girlfriends to the marine corps ball?
Simple answer, yes. I'm a Marine myself and I'd say about 80% of Marines take a date/girlfriend/wife. If your a noncommissioned officer or up it's more expected than someone who recently enlisted. If you're a young marine just make sure you straighten up those blues. Look good, first impressions are everything.
How do I persuade my brother not to join the Marines?
That's a good question. I believe that if your brother has made up his mind that he is going into the Marine Corps there is little that you can do to change his mind. All that you can do is support him in his decision. Be positive about it and hope for the best.
Do you get to pick your MOS in the US Marine Corps. I am not sure if you can pick your own or you have a wish list of 3 MOS's you want and they decide 1 of the 3. I want to be an 0311. Help?
The Marine Corps is very good at avoiding MOS overages in the support services. If you join the Marines to be a cook, they let you enlist to be a cook because they thought one of their cooks was about to get out of the Corps. If that guy stays in the Corps, they WILL reclassify you to something else. This happened to my brother--he was reclassified to three different things before he got out of training. Your case is different: there are never enough 0311s. If you want to be an 0311, and you can pass infantry school, you'll be an 0311.
Do you have to get good grades to be in the marine core?
Yes, having good grades is important to be considered for the Marine Corps. The Marine Corps generally requires a minimum high school diploma or equivalent, and they also look at a candidate's academic performance as part of the overall evaluation process. Good grades demonstrate discipline, dedication, and the ability to learn and follow instructions, which are critical attributes for success in the Marine Corps.
Why was the Marine Corps created?
The United States Marine Corps is a direct descendant of the British Royal Marines. When the 2nd Continental Congress drew up plans for a Navy, it also established a Continental Marine Corps. On November 10, 1775 Congress passed the following resolution. "Resolved that two battalions of Marines be raised, and that particular care be taken, that no person be appointed to office, or enlisted into said Battalions, but such are good seaman, or so acquainted with maritime affairs as to be able to serve to advantage by sea, when required.....that they be enlisted and commissioned for the present war between Great Britain and the colonies, unless dismissed by Congress. That they be distinguished by the names of the 1st and 2nd Battalions of American Marines. Thereby, on 10 November 1775 the Marine Corps was established, this is the date Marines now refer to as the birth date of the United States Marine Corps. Tun Tavern in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is recognized as the birthplace of the Marine Corps. It was established as the recruiting Headquarters of the newly formed Marine Corps. As these new recruits were to form the Corps each man had to bring his own rifle with him in order to enlist.
You are a girl and 13 should you join the marines when you grow up?
That depends on several things. First you must be in tremendous physical shape. If you are not, you will go through hell during boot camp and may even wash out. Second, you must be absolutely committed to the Marine Corps, or again, boot camp could overwhelm you. If you are not determined to make through boot camp, and you have any doubts about joining the marines, boot camp will be extremely hard and you won't have anything mental strength to continue. You must absolutely want to become a marine more than anything else in the world. Thirdly, you need to have some intelligence. You can't be a marine without some brain power. Yes, in boot camp, its all "do as your told", but after that, there are marine schools in everything from electronics, finance, human resources, ordinance, computers etc. The marine corps is no place for dummies. Fourthly, you must have a reason to go. Why are you joining the marines? Why not the navy, or the air force. If you can't come up with a good reason to join the marines, you don't belong. Fifthly, you should have a support group back home that wants to see you succeed there. Your parents are the best and you will find that joining the marines is much easier if they support you. Marines is no place to go to "run away from something". and last, find all you can about the marines before you sign up. talk to recruiters, talk to ex marines in your family or neighborhood. go on line and read everything you can. be knowledgeable and you will be better able to answer your own question.
