Can Marine reserves go active in the Marine Corps?

no, because you can not be available to be on active duty with both at the same time.  Remember that you can also be called to active duty for a year or more at a time.  So you pack up your bag, tell your regualar job that you will see them in a year or two ( and hope they  will hire you back when you come back) and off you go.  Actually it is very likelyyou will be called to active duty if you go into the reserve right now.  Our local Army national guard have done two middle east tours in the past few years.

Absolutely not.  I joined and served because I volunteered, as did everyone else I served with.  Once you make it compulsory, you get people who volunteered serving with people who don't want to be there.  I would never want to fight alongside someone like that.  I haven't seen many Marine washouts, but there were a lot in the Army.  Our military would be so weakened by something like that...

Sounds like a good idea in theory, but sometimes the reserves need to be used. Otherwise there's no point in having them.

The Air Force could cover Marine movements but Marine pilots train right along with the ground pounders.  They have a unique perspective on the needs of their ground units.\n\nI am retired from the Air Force and think highly of the organization.  But we do ask a lot of our Marines and in giving it they want their own cover.  I'm willing to give it to them.

Yes there is.  The Army National Guard is state run, the governor of the state is in charge of them.  The reserves are federally run and fall under the president of the US.

I was active duty in the Marines for 7 years.  Fro what I've heard, and know.  Marines do not wear patches other than name tapes. Also there only a few uniform items that are allowed to be pinned onto the chest.  Scuba bubbles, jump wings, EOD insignia.  Things like that,  If another branch of service has the same type of job, and a Marine gets his certification there, He will be allowed to wear the Marine pin for that.  I knew a Marine that had been in the army before he joined the Corps, and he was allowed to wear his jump wings.  I have been told that; even if a Marine becomes a navy SEAL,(All special forces are open to all branches)the Navy SEAL pins are not allowed to be worn on a Marines uniform.  So if there is a pin for Rangers, a Marine would not be allowed to wear that either.  And the patch is not going to be worn at all.

No,\nSPEC ops is for Special forces i.e. SEALS.  Many MA's are volunteering for Riverine Force, same as brown water Navy during Vietnam.   There has been talk about the Navy forming a Naval Infantry force, and possibly converting MA's to that, but haven't heard much about it.  Riverine squadrons are an all male group for now, and taking volunteers from any rating.  As of date there is 1 Riverine squadron that completed training, and should be going to Iraq next year.

I'm active USMC.  try anymarine.com, anysailor.com, anysoldier.com and anyairman.com.  They support the military deployed to Iraq and other war zones.  They would have some great ideas for how to get in contact with people overthere.

Very very slim chances. Since you are a Guardsman, you can only be branched for slots that are available in your state and currently there are no Psychiatrist slots in any state or territory (which is what you would want - Psychologist is not part of the officer medical corps). The active army has darn few of those. Looks like you are going to QM OBC at Ft. Lee, VA - enjoy.

To answer your question, no, prior Marines do not have to attend any other services' basic training.  That's because Marine Corps boot camp is considered to be adequate enough for the other sister services.  But why, oh why, would you want to go into the army?  My advice to you is to try to go back on mobilization orders as a Marine.  Then, you get that fat reservist pay!  If you didn't like your last unit, as a reservist you can be pretty picky about where you want to be stationed.  Talk to a prior-service recruiter, they should be able to help you out.

I am gonna enlighten you.\nThe Marines and the Army are not the same outfit.\nThere are also Navy Reserves, Air Force Reserves, and Coast Guard Reserves.

We must be in different branches, since I've never heard of ACAP, but if it's the Marine equivilant to Seperations brief lasting 2-3 days, and the TAPS class, We can do it anywhere from a year out, but no later than 30 days (mostly to ensure that the class is done)  If your time is shorter, you'll have to give the class administrators a sob story to let you in, if the class is full.
