No, you have to be 17 with parental consent. That is the law and even that can't be waived.

you have to have a high school diploma or a GED to enlist. I know it is possible to go to boot camp over the summer then AIT training later but you have to be joinimg the reserves for that i believe. contact a recruiter to know the process. why not just leave right after graduation to make sure you stay in marine shape, and not get caught up in school and being at home then all of a sudden it's time to go be a marine again.

you will no longer flow besides Camp between your eleventh and twelfth grade 12 months. you are able to no longer deliver to Recruit preparation till when you the two complete highschool or get your GED alongside with i've got faith 18 college credit (the Marines evaluate this comparable to a highschool degree). they're going to pay for component to your college, no longer all, yet maximum a minimum of. in simple terms don't be a jerk off and spend any of your greater loose funds from drills on beer and you'd be fantastic.

I think you have to be 18, but the laws are different in each country.
I hope you do join the marines though, either now or in a few years, as it is a great thing to do. You'll serve your country and learn a lot that will help you throughout your life. Good luck!!!

I believe you need to be at least 18 to join the Marines. It may be 17, but you might need your parents' consent. My nephew went to boot camp at Camp Pendleton last year and he was 18 at the time.

I believe you have to be 18 years old to join the marines. I think you should finish High School either way. SORRY!

You only need to be 17 to join. But you really should finish High School and then join. You may not think you need to finish school but you WILL regret it later on in life. There are so many things in your future that you don't know about right now. But you will be better off with an education.

Its your choice but it is very risky. You have to be 18 to join the marines. I would not reccomend joining the marines at this time.

To join when your under 18 you gotta get your parents to sign for you. I already tried and my parents flipped so i gotta wait 1 more year.
