Not likely. I had Pnuemonia and Mononucleosis when I was at MRCD San Diego in 2003. The DI's thought I was just trying to get out of training even though my eyes were half open and I was coughing up gobs of flem every 5 seconds. Remember, boot camp combines guys from all over the US and world and brings them together to share all of their diseases and viruses. It's nasty. Most recruits are sick with something or other the ENTIRE time they're there. It's very hard to get out. They take there time about processing people and treatment is not good. The issue has to be legitimate and pressing. I don't know you or your son but it's best if he can get rested up and finish out his 4 year term. He'll be a better man for it, his civilian career won't be affected, and you both will appreciate it when everything is said and done. Good luck

No, you can't. Before you report in to the post you'll be attending Basic or One Station Unit Training at, you'll report back to the MEPS station (the place where you actually signed your enlistment contract). Your recruiting office will provide you with transportation to MEPS. From there, you'll be given either a bus ticket or a plane ticket (depending on the distance). After you arrive at the airport, you'll be picked up by charter bus and taken to the post's Adjutant General battalion, where you'll in-process at. There is no other way to do this, and no other means of transportation are authorised.

It is the defining moment of Boot Camp termed "The Crucible Event" which is a non stop 54 hour final exam of the lessons learned at boot camp. It involves a 40 mile trek through the woods and numerous test events that challenge their ideals and their commitment with little or no sleep, rest or food. Only successful completion gives them acceptance as US Marines.

You are required to shave your face in Basic Training (BCT) if you are a man. If you are a woman and are inquiring about your legs and under your arms, then no, you are not required to shave these areas.

Under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 and the Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act a civilian employer can not terminate your employment based on your enlistment or by leaving to Basic Combat Training or a Deployment. They are Federal guidelines that they themselves must follow, the majority of civilian employers are aware of these Federal Guidelines but if you are late to work once or have one mishap then at that point they will terminate you for that reason, but the second you come in informing them that you have either are going to enlist or that you are going to Basic Combat Training they are looking for a reason to fire you, so that they do not have to hold your job for you.

No, not generally.

During the '80's the Trainee Discharge Program (Army Regulation 635-200) became an option in US Army BCT. However, this may not still be an option, and may never have been an option for other branches. And, if it is, this is a General Discharge Under Dishonorable Conditions. Not something you typically would want to follow you into civilian life.

Your MOS is selected when you sign your enlistment contract at the MEPS centre. While in BCT or OSUT, you may have the option to drop certain elective (for example, you can drop a RIP contract, or you can drop Airborne school), but you can't change your MOS. If you fail your AIT for the MOS for which you enlisted, then you'll be retrained in another MOS, although you're not very likely to have much of a say in regards to which MOS you're retrained as.

Generally, no. If they receive gifts in the mail, the Drill Sergeants have the discretion whether to allow the soldier to have them then, or to hold onto them until the end of BCT, then give them to the soldier.

For your training they will send you based on what you decide you want to do. If you ask your recruiter he/she should be able to tell you where you go for your basic training. good luck!

Teen boot camps are a way for troubled teens to learn a bit of discipline and bring moral order to their life. While this can be tough for the teen it can also be a wake up call to help get their life on the right track.

It is supposed to be the hardest boot camp in the U.S. military. You have to be able to pass physical exams and the drill sargeants test your mental stability. you also have to go into a gas chamber with a gas mask on, and then you have to take it off. it's pretty hardcore.
