Its been a life long dream of mine to become a marine and I've told my parentsand they're cool with it. I heard about how bad it gets in the summer and I was wondering if you all think I could be done with the ASVAB MEPS and taking the oath and also be shipped for training ASAP. I really want to go now while its relativley cool and not flooded with hs students lol
I'm 18. and I have a year of college.

Your goals are possible.
You would have to get to the nearest Marine Corp recruiting office, pass the ASVAB, pass the physical. If the Corp have a school that is open for you around the time you would finish basic then you could be gone inside of two weeks. If not then you will be required to wait until a school opens up.
The recruiters have a list of schools that will open around the time that you want to go.
You might want to think about the school you want to attend and not select a school because is coincide with the time you want to go. You should select a school that will give you some type of career that you would be interested in.
I hope this is of some use to you, good luck.

You had better take a little more time and think it through. Every summer in Iraq (which is certainly where they will send you) will be far hotter than any boot camp in the United States. If heat and crowding and high school students bother you, you are in for a rude awakening when you get over there, and probably not Marine material. If your parents know how delicate your sensibilities are, I am very surprised they are cool with the idea.

You can enlist on the next business day and I doubt that you can go to boot camp in two weeks. You have to wait until there are enough enlistees to begin a class of Marine recruits.

It will probably take about 30 days. I think the longest process will be finding you an MOS. After you find an MOS then you will have to go to school to get MOS qualified. After you finish school you will go to your permanent duty station.
