You will come out as a E-2. Unless you are company honorgrad from boot camp then you are a E-3 and that's not necessarily a given. You will pick up E-4 and E-5 at a faster rate because of your time in service. Your time in service will give you more points for your cutting score for promotion. <br /><br />Your bigger issue is your medical. You need to see if the Marine Corps will take you back. I think you have a great chance at this because of your ability to recover and join the Army. However, I do not guarantee that. You need to talk to a recruiter and tell them the whole situation. I know it has always been some "saying" that after 2 years, you can return. It's like a catch all phrase. You need to make them tell you no. So have all your ducks in a row and go hard at it. If they tell you know then move on from there. Until they do, just keep putting your best foot forward and keep attacking. Best of luck to you.Response by GySgt Private RallyPoint Member made Jan 2 at 2020 12:47 AM2020-01-02T00:47:56-05:002020-01-02T00:47:56-05:00CWO3 Private RallyPoint Member5404329<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Ask a Marine Recruiter. Depends on MOS vs. needs of the Corps. You might get guaranteed PFC (E2) out of Boot, but don't stay out long. If eligible for PFC, you could get LCpl if you really excel. Even without any guarantee, some graduate with a stripe. Maybe 10%. It's not a transfer either way, but a prior-service enlistment.Response by CWO3 Private RallyPoint Member made Jan 2 at 2020 10:19 AM2020-01-02T10:19:06-05:002020-01-02T10:19:06-05:00SSG Private RallyPoint Member5405672<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>*Corps....<br /><br />I’d go talk to a recruiter about it though, when I went through Parris Island in 2010 we had a kid came out as a LCpl, kid was older though, think he had some college and was shit hot. It also might have a been a meritorious promotion for being too recruit or something. But also, as Cliche as it sounds, If you wanna be a Marine, you join to be a Marine, not because of what you’ll get out of it.<br /><br />Damn I miss the Marines hahaResponse by SSG Private RallyPoint Member made Jan 2 at 2020 4:38 PM2020-01-02T16:38:18-05:002020-01-02T16:38:18-05:00CPL Gary Pifer5405992<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My advice...

Why were you not transferred to a medical company, then attend the event with a later platoon when you were healed? If you don't mind saying, what type of discharge did you receive? In any case, make sure that you have ALL your medical records (X-Rays, etc.) for your package as well as your 201 File from your previous command. If a recruiter gives you the brush-off because of the paperwork, find another who will help you. I have learned over the years that you can do almost anything in the military if you can find the correct form. Good luckResponse by MAJ Raymond Haynes made Jan 3 at 2020 4:44 AM2020-01-03T04:44:02-05:002020-01-03T04:44:02-05:002020-01-02T00:08:11-05:00
