Marine Corps

Marines on active duty who want to get into the Marine Corps Reserve should contact the “transition recruiters” located on every base. Their job is to match you with a position in the Marine Corps Reserve, wherever you plan to settle once discharged.

If you have a skill that is critical, you may qualify for a cash bonus to enlist.

Although the Marine Corps prefers to fill its reserve ranks with former Marines, it will not turn down a veteran of another service with critical skills. Those entering the Marine Corps Reserve from another service are required to attend boot camp.

Contact: To find a recruiter, call the Marine Forces Reserve Transition Center Recruiting Information Line, (800) 552-8762 or see www.marines. com. For more information, visit www. marforres.usmc.mil.
