Hello My name is Antonio And i am a poolee in the Marines currently i get shipped on July 13th but I want to move it closer And the problem is My mom said she wont allow me to do that because i didnt graduate high school yet. I haven't talked with my recruiter yet about moving it so my question is can i still get it moved closer if all paperwork is put into place or because im a minor do i have to respect her decision and keep pushing boot camp till after i turn 18?

Antonio Dozal-Satraitis Yes you can go to basic/AIT before you are 18. The only thing you cannot do is go into a war zone when you are still 17. Right before OIF 1 started, in 2BCT, 3ID, we had two 17 year olds that couldn't cross the border into Iraq until they turned 18.

I shipped out at 17. I graduated high school a year early. Both parents had to sign off to let me go at 17.
