I&#39;ve been through everything else at Meps this is the only thing I&#39;m waiting on. My MEPS ia at Ft lee in Virginia, but so was the MOS training and AIT training for food service. It&#39;s been a week and it seems a bit ridiculous that it should take this long to say it does translate.

I&#39;m sure you will be fine as long as you meet the requirements.

He was also civilian at China Lake and he had to transfer to the East Coast. He could not join the Marine Corps Reserve as an E7 he could join as an E-1 or E2. I also know Marine who was a corporal and he completed his basic noncommissioned officers course. He went to the Army Reserve as a specialist and a mean he was promoted to Sergeant. The United States Army will accept your credentials.

I have a battle that transferred and it happened to him.
