Prior service Marine looking to enlist back in (Reserves) I'm off-contract, is the possible?

Is there any Marine Corps Prior Service Recruiters on here? I'm looking to get back in, the reserves this time . I am "off-contract" which from what I gathered so far seems to be some sort of a no-go in the eyes of HQ Marine Corps according to the recruiter that I talk to recently. FYI, I am MEPS qualified, I did my whole physical this past year because I was thinking of joining the Army Reserves.

Is there actually a chance of getting back into the Marine Corps Reserves? Or do they just not want to deal with the paperwork that comes with it?

Not sure what off contract means but your discharge status and your RE code will most likely dictate your next course of action.

Go to which branch is going to serve you best. Find an engineer unit in the reserves and Guard and see who will get you a bonus for MOS qual.
