Yep 17 years old and enlisted in the DEP. MCRD San Diego July 11, 2010.
im gonna join right outta high school
@PMAN46 its called delayed entry program you dont go to boot camp for this training its mostly done at the recruiers office. you do mostly ot and mental prepardness training. the recruiters get to prepare you for basic training during this time. and they are strict and tough on you the whole time.
@DBcoop04 its a computerized test that test your mathmatical, writing, and science skills like physics and general mechanics knowledge.
If you’re still in high school, DONT wait until you’re out to join. The DEP (delayed entry program) is really great. It really gets you ready. not only physically, but mentally aswell. Pool functions are alot of fun, and you learn alot. BUT, dont waste a recruiters time if you know you aren’t going to put in the work on your own time aswell.
ive been in the DEP since september, i leave next month.
ASVAB is that a written test , physical , or pyshological test or is it a combination of any?
@tylerfriesner
I just finished.
what you can train your entire senior year? how is that possible? i thought you had to have a diploma?
@lavadog LOL…….. Starship Troopers anyone?
I have 1 year until I can go into the DEP, and 2 years until my basic training. Can’t wait!
@redins7248 Its issued gear, you’ll get one in boot camp.
@tylerfriesner
I am going to join when I am 18.
its actually 8.5 weeks
he said Utah
With even more time from MOS training. Yah, I went through AF basic when it was 6.5 weeks long, but I spent 38 more weeks on apprentice-level training for my specialty.
The dirty little secret: nearly one FULL YEAR of training, which was a whopping 25% of my time spent in the service lol.
it’s a different job, comparing airmen to soldiers or Marines or sailors its like comparing a orange to an apple.
6 weeks for the air force. hahahah that’s hilarious.
when i finish rather then my GED, like it totally fuckin sucks i didnt work 3 full yrs and half a yr for nothing it really sucks but yes the people that are just like ehhh i hate school F this shouldnt be able to
well dude i wasnt lazy something really messed up happened, i was a normal person like everyone else then my stepdad did some dumbshit, i could probably put him in jail if i wanted to infact i could for ruining my education, he totally messed it up and ill never forgive him but im almost at 30 and when i get out im going for 30 more, wasnt my decision to drop out in fact i had a couple of tears when i had to i felt like a bitch but that just ruined alot hopefully everyone looks at the 60 credits
True, i don’t get why most people are whining about the college credit thing. they should have went to school or not been lazy lol. but yeah i did independent studies in high school and i did college after then enlisted in the marines.
@dboy4ever i know where to get blues. I wasnt asking about standard uniform i just was wondering about the green jacket.
You earn the right to wear a Marine uniform, redins
@DMartin64116 LOL. sounds like a personal issue. haha.
Army CID is nothing but a bunch of wannabees
