Is it possible to go from Army to the Marine Corps?

My cousin got of the marines and went back in his wife was a recruiter so that helped a lot since she was able to go through marine COC channels to make it happen.

Sounds like he fell into the trap of believing all units are equal. He may look to a different unit. If he is active he is stuck and in Guard find another unit. Either way he can start by being the change he wants.

I would say these options may work

1. He can try to instill traditions into his new Soldiers. Read up on any FM/TMs to his MOS and teach it to his guys. I believe you said 11B in one of the responses so it may be possible to find an instructor position depending on his rank. As a WLC instructor it felt like I could actually change the military since those students will eventually work their way up the ranks.

2. Once he finishes his military tour, I know a few Soldiers who went into the Marine Reserve.

3. Is his unit worse then being a Civilian?

If active duty in the Marine Corps I this now SSgt at 10 years. We always thought it was funny that they called it being tenured out and it was done at ten years. Saw it happen to a Sgt that was a real doucher.

Here another question Spc Linville, let's say he gets back in the Marines active duty....you're in the Army and he Marines now how you think that's going to work as far as tall being together, God forbid if there are kids involved. Last time I checked the only active duty bases for marines in U.S. is Quantico, San Diego, and SC limited choices for sure....but if you guys stay reserves it should be ok. What are you gonna do, Go Marines as well? Ijs

My situation is a little different, but I have a class 1A re-enlistment classification, or something like that. The recruiter told me he'd love to have me back in the Corps but they won't let them enlist ANY prior enlisted right now. It's basically going to be impossible for him to go back into the Corps while they're being cut in manpower. He'll be lucky, before it's all said and done, if he gets to continue to be a Soldier if the cuts keep coming.
