Okay I need some help here. Currently I am active duty enlisted in the USN. I am a Seabee. I have spent a 1 1/2 in the Navy and a 1 year in battalion. Before I joined the navy I wanted to be a marine but had a very shitty recruiter who kept missing meetings and blowing me off so I joined the navy. Well after almost 2 years this is not where my heart belongs. I am trying to do a inter service transfer via a conditional release ( DD368 ) but am hitting 2 brick walls. 1) the new marines recruiter has never done one and says the dd368 is only for reserve to active even tho I have seen it can be used for active. 2) my navy carter counselor have never seen it before and tell me it can not be done and I must serve my contract out but I don’t think that’s the case, it’s more of he has no idea what to do so that’s the easiest answer. If someone could please help me out here.

PO3 (Join to see) I never handled an inter service transfer, and I am sure things have changed since I got out (our ship still have sails, right?).
If I were you, I would ask your career counselor to look into it, they have a schoolhouse they can reach back to. That is their job. If they don't get back to you in a reasonable amount of time, tell them you are going to your DIVO and up your chain of command. The other thing you can do is talk to a local USMC recruiter, they can tell you exactly what paperwork you need.
Best of luck!

I don’t know if any reason why the 368 couldn’t be used, as long as your chain of command signs off on it. That said, it’s up to you to do your homework. Find and research the applicable OpNavInsts and Marine Corps Orders, so you have the ammunition on your side when you’re told no. Also, don’t be surprised if the answer ends up being no in the end. Worst case, it’s only a couple more years until your contract is up, and then you can go your own way. Best of luck, and Semper Fi!
