Marine corps recruiter said that need 15 credit from college to join marine corps is right?
You need to specify a couple things. I.e., enlisted or officer and what military occupational specialty you're going for. Requirements will fluctuate to meet the Marine Corps' manpower demands, but generally a high school degree or GED/equivalent is required to enlist. In some circumstances this may be waivered. I'm guessing by the way you have crafted this question that you have not completed either High School or your GED. 15 Credits would serve as a suitable substitute for either of these things.

Do you have to get good grades to be in the marine core?
Yes. To be in the Marine Corps you must be between the ages of 17 and 29 and are working toward, or have earned, a high school diploma to qualify to enlist. Now to your question, 'Do you have to get good grades to be in the Marine Corps?' If you have to have a 'High School Diploma' to be in the Marine Corps then you must have passing grades to graduate from High School. The better the grades will help you get a high score on your ASVAB Test (Armed Services Vocational Ability Test). Combinations of scores from the nine tests are used to determine qualification for a MOS (Military Occupation Specialty). Normally the better the score on the ASVAB Test the better the job in the military. So do your best to get good grades in High School.

Do you have to be a high school graduate to join the United States Marine Corps?
The Marine Corps will require a High School Diploma. The GED may be a possibility; however you should contact the nearest Marine Corps Recruiting Office for detailed information. The Marine Corps at this time (2009) will only allow about 5% of the recruiting mission to be GEDs, and the rest require a high school diploma. With enough college credits you do not need a high school diploma and will be counted as a high school graduate. I'm not sure how many credits are needed, though.
Can you join the Marine Corps without a GED?
No, you cannot join the Marine Corps without a high school diploma or equivalent. A General Educational Development (GED) credential is considered equivalent to a high school diploma, so it would meet the requirements for enlistment. However, without a GED or high school diploma, you would not be eligible to join.
Do you have to go through college NROTC to become on officer in the US Marine Corps or is high school NROTC enough?
In order to become a Marine Corps Officer you have to go through the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps program in college, go through OCS after College, or go to the Naval Academy. All Marine Corps Officers are college graduates. You can enlist after high school but the program in high school is not strictly military training, it is only military affiliated. In fact ROTC in High School may not help you very much in trying to become a Marine Officer. The majority of high school ROTC members who eventually join the military enlist, while many officers played a couple of sports and worked on getting good grades more than anything else. Talk to a recruiter if you are interested in going enlisted, or try to find the Naval ROTC at colleges you are interested for more information on becomming an Officer. You have to graduate with a college degree in order to be commissioned an Officer. If you flunk out of college, you will not get a commission even if you complete all the ROTC requirements/courses.
