JJFLY 1 Posted February 5, 2003 Can I Join the marines for two years, go reserve for four, and then become a USMC 2nd Lt? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PitViper 0 Posted February 5, 2003 you will not find an active contract for 2 years. Probably 4 or 6 year contracts like the army. You could go reserve after that and get your degree and then go OCS or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Schoeler 0 Posted February 6, 2003 If you aren't sure about going active duty, sign up for the reserves. You can always make the decision to go active from there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
