A PARENT'S GUIDE TO THE MARINE CORPS

Marine Corps Recruiters can answer such questions as enlistment requirements and technical training opportunities for your son or daughter, as well as what life is like in the Marines.

Some of the information a recruiter can provide covers requirements for enlisting, the details about Recruit Training and opportunities for technical training. They can also answer more conceptual questions such as what the Marines stand for, what motivated them to join, and about their way of life. If you need information the recruiter is always a good place for answers.
