How long does it take to become a Master Sergeant in the USMC?

Answer 1

From the day you get to boot camp it is 13 weeks. You can sign up to become a Marine while you are still a senior in High school. You can do this up to 1 year in advance even if you are 17, as long as you have parental consent.

Answer 2

About 4 years and a Bachelor' Degree from an accredited College or University and OCS, ROTC or the Platoon Leader's Class will get you a Commission as a Second Lieutenant. That is followed by six months at the Basic School and training on your MOS before assignment. A High School Diploma and 13 weeks of Boot Camp will convert you from a recruit to a Marine faster.

Answer 3

Contract vary depending on the needs of the service. Almost all contracts are for 6 years, with the amount on active duty and the amount in active reserves varying. Typically it runs 4 years active and 2 reserve, but again, can vary according the the agreement. Talk to your recruiter.

Answer 4

Depends on the indivudal and their performance. Also depends on the unit they are in. Typically a combat unit soldier will move up in rank faster than a non-combat unit soldier.

Answer 5

It depends on what your doing, but basic training is 3 months long
