An offense THAT long ago and at that age will probably NOT be held against you, howver, be sure to disclose it when ou speak to the recruiter. Lying about it and THEN having them find out about it, is sometimes worse than telling the truth.
No not really but if you want to you can.
When the time comes, you have the choice to either leave or reenlist. You just choose to reenlist, and your contract gets extended.
To Parris Island, South Carolina.
Probably not. You'll want to check with a recruiter for a sure answer.
Yes. Join the Marines because you want to. If you do not want to join for your own reasons, no one else's reasons are valid. You do not have to live up to anything, certainly not anything others have done. Be your own person. There are better ways to honor the Marines than joining without a passion for it. Work for veterans' rights, for example, and to protect the helpless, to defend the cause of justice. Anyone can follow orders to shoot and drop bombs on people. It takes a hero to work for peace.
My boyfriend wants to join the marines and I respect it but I hate it. I would hate if he died over in war and then I would never hear him say I love you again. She doesnt want to lose you. What you could do is take a military job but you are staitioned at Quantico or something in the United States! If I was her I would never want to see you go to war but she will understand no matter what.
Considering that the Marines value education, it is bad. Marines want loyalty, not people that would abandon their families. Finish high school and join the Marines when you turn 18. Meanwhile, keep a clean record and get physically strong. so no smokey smokey :)
You will feel a sense of pride for the rest of your life after serving. You will know you have done something good for the community. It not all about wars but also about helping people. Don't forget Toys for Tots. Those smiles on those kids faces live with you forever. The Marines teach young people respect and discipline and is a great way to learn a trade. You will experience things in the Marine Corps that all the money in the world couldn't buy you. The experiences and people you meet will live in you forever. So the real question is why wouldn't someone want to join the Marines?? Why join now?
Minimum height in all services is 4'10", or 58". But there are waivers for everything so if you are within 2 inches or so, you should look into it
That really depends on you and what you want out of it. If you plan to enlist only for one term then get out, I'd advise against it, as it will leave you with zero real world job skills.
You will be deployed wherever they see fit. Though to some extent the armed forces try to cater for these needs. Whether or not though the Royal Marines are based in Northern Ireland I dont know though many forces are based there. If you want to stay where you are I would suggest joining the Territorial Army or TAs where you get more freedom.
It depends where you live. The best way to find out it to go to the website of the branch you want to join (army, navy, air force, marines) and look for the nearest location.
