Marine Corps Reserve(Part Time)

The Reserve of the United States Marine Corps, since its establishment by law in 1916, has been responsible for providing trained units and qualified individuals to be mobilized for active duty in time of war, national emergency or contingency operations.

Over the past eight decades, Reserve Marines have regularly operated alongside the active component in the two World Wars, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Shield/Storm and Enduring Freedom.

Guidelines

If you are interested in enlisting in the Marine Corps Reserve, you must:

* Be a U.S. citizen or a resident alien.
* Meet exacting physical, mental, and moral standards.
* Be between the ages of 17-29. Seventeen-year olds need parental consent. Prior service age limits differ.
* Have a high school diploma.
* Take and pass the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) test. For tips on doing well on the ASVAB, see the Ace the ASVAB section.
* Pass a Military Entrance Processing Station medical exam.

Credits for Experience – Members of the Reserve can also take advantage of free College Level Examination Program tests (CLEP). For every test you pass on a particular subject, you earn three transferable college credits.

DANTES – You can also pursue college and university independent study courses through the Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Educational Support (DANTES) as a member of the Reserve.

As a college student and a Marine Reservist, you attend one weekend drill per month. Depending on your Military Occupational Specialty (MOS), you will attend one or two summer training sessions to complete your MOS training, then continue your summer training with two week drills. This program is ideal for college students.
