How long does the training take to become a marine Recon after boot camp?

You can't really "sign up" for recon. You have to complete bootcamp, then SOI (school of infantry) then while at SOI you can take the recon Indoc. You can take the Indoc. from any MOS (your job in the Corps) Tell him I said good luck, but I hope he knows what he is getting into. Semper Fi.

My selection process was as follows and I'll start at the very beginning:\n\n1.) Medical Physical&#92;ASVAB test to decide placement (Job qualification)\n2.) Orlando, Great Lakes or San Diego (Bootcamps - Orlando is closed now)\n3.) A-School (Training for your job rating, usually lasting four to eight weeks)\n4.) Before leave assigned duty station. \n5.) 2 Weeks Leave (Optional)\n6.) Report to Duty Station\n7.) Spend 6 months at duty station eligible to submit "Request Chit" for BUDS (E-2 and above may submit for BUDS).\n8.) Pre-screen to include intense medical physical, strengent excercise quals, deep sea hyperbaric chamber testing, final canidate eval, reporting date to BUDS.\n9.) Arrive BUDS, early morning I-Doc\n10.) Weeks 1 through 4, seperates the weak from the strong, by intense mental and physical training, many drop voluntarily during this time.\n11.) Weeks 5 through 8, voluntary droppers are no more, dropping mostly by qualification times in Team excercise events as well as individual events.  At this stage your immune to the B.S. but not the immune from the pain of the tests and excercises which are just about constant throughout the day...\n12.) Week 8 through 10, begin Scuba classes and underwater training and survival.  Assigned wetsuit, knife.  Test become harder and more challenging not only physically but mentally as well. Lots of pool time and classroom time, learn about rebreathers, and other devices as well as personal underwater gear.\n13.) Weeks 10 through 15 Continue water survival, becomes more advanced, learn EOD, deep submersion tests, as well as deep escape from pressurized enviroments.  Lots of classroom time as well as pool time.\n14.) Weeks 16 through 20, water training continued instructors aren't easier but there is a sense of respect and you aren't treated like a scrub.  Most that have made it to this point have strong probability of passing BUDS.  Jungle survival, land reconsience, geographical above and underwater mapping, Team activities, War games usually on nearby training Island, escape and evasion tactics, live fire excercises, CQB training.\n15.) Weeks 21 through 27, Final testing, 14 mile ocean swim( bay) without fins, 23 mile run (boots and shorts timed), written tests, final medical and performance eval.\n\n\nSome of your weekends are free some aren't...You have the option to live on base or off.  After graduation, you will go to Fort Benning, Georgia to Jump school and spend six weeks training at low jumps, static line (500ft), (1000ft), 12000ft). High jumps (freefall)at 15000ft +, usually assisted with O2 breather, both Night and Day time qualifications needed with High Jump. \n\nAfter Fort Benning, you have the option to take leave, you are given your duty station an TEAM that your assigned to.  Each TEAM specializs in their own tactics and training.  Upon arrival at your Duty station training will continue but be more detailed as to that particular TEAMS speciality.  Have the option of getting EOD qual.  Your paid standard danger pay E-4 ($150 month), E-5 ($210), E-6 ($320) and so on.  Even though their are officers in the BUDS program, everyone is a scrub, there are no yes sirs except to the instructors.\n\nOnce classified as a SEAL, you are given special priviledges, these priviledges are not spoken but known throughout the Navy i.e Can grow hair longer, E-3's allowed to have facial hair, respect lots of it from both Officers and Enlisted alike.  \n\nThere was much more than this in my training, however this will give you a quick over-view of what happens.

15 years 9 months. you have to pass a selection called the PRMC (potential royal marines course) at CTC (Commando training centre) Lympstone. This is very ardous! Best of luck bud, but speak to a careers advisor and he will be able to give u a fitness programme, and you will have to go through him to have a medical and interview first anyway. \nIf you pass the PRMC you will be selected for the Royal Marine Commando Course, again at CTCLympstone, which is 32 weeks of extreme training, it is worth noting that this is the longest basic infantry course in the world. I am not sure what they are doing about women at the moment, but to the best of my knowledge they are not allowed to join. (There ARE exceptions, but that could be covered on a different thread!) Good luck mate, it'll be worth it!

Here is your answer:  If you have never been in the military before, you will be processed under the Non-Prior Service Basic program.  This is a USNR program that allows you to select from a group of jobs (rates) that you qualify for.  Each job will have different ship dates.  The job you select may have two or three different dates available.  The term of DEP (Delayed Entry Program) is not to exceed 365 days.  However, unless you are a High School senior you will not be looking a whole year out.  Once you ship to RTC (Navy Boot Camp), you will complete 9 weeks of Naval Training and the ship to the Navy school that you choose.  Once you complete school you will check in to the nearest Naval Reserve Center (Naval Operational Center).  From that point,  its one weekend a month and two weeks out of the year on active.  Feel free to email me if you have any more questions.  Good Luck.

Army Basic training is 9 weeks long then you have AIT that varies per MOS

Basic Marine with enlistment guarantee means that the future Marine is guaranteed to go to basic training for 12 weeks, get 10 days of leave off (if they pass bootcamp) , then go to MCT (Marine Combat Training) for 3 to 5 more weeks (again if and when they pass bootcamp) then go to their C school (for accounting) but unfortunetly I don't know where that is. But keep in mind all Marines are basically trained rifleman, and it's NOT guaranteed that this future marine will pass basic training or C school. If s/he passes basic (unless he fails a piss test he should pass) then fails out of accounting school (maybe they can't understand administration work) then they still have an obligation to serve in the Marine Corps for however left s/he has on their enlistment, they wouls probably become a grunt (0311) basic rifleman infantryman. Any sign on bonuses aren't guaranteed and don't sign up for more than 4 years!!!! Some people sign up for only 2 years (a call of duty) and can get put into ANY MOS!!!!! Don't let your recruiter lie to you!

All of the above answers are good.  Navy Boot Camp will require you to pass a Physical Readiness Test prior to graduation.  The amount of push-up, sit-up, and the time for a mile and a half run are all based on your age.  Your Recruiting station is responsible for administering the test and ensuring you pass it prior to shipping to RTC.  If you still can’t pass by the time you are scheduled to go they should drop you or change your ship date but probably won’t.  At Boot Camp you will get three more physical test.  At a minimum you have to pass the final one.  If you still can’t pass you will go to a physical conditioning division and stay there until you pass or until the Navy sends you home.  \n\nOther than that, the rest of Navy boot camp is 75% classroom.  You will do push-ups and other physical training daily to build teamwork and attention to detail.\n\nGood Luck\n\nRTC Link:\nhttp://www.nstc.navy.mil/rtcgl/

You get credits just for graduating boot camp.  many MCI's also give you college credits.  As for the MOS itself, I've never heard of that.  Look into apprenticeship programs at base education and college courses you can take (most commands will give you time off during working hours for the classes) the are free, all you pay for is text books.  There are A LOT of educational opportunities in the Marine Corps, you just need to keep abreast of them via the base education center and take advantage of them, which too few Marines do.

You have to go to an approved training program which consists of 9 to 24 months and lead to a certificate, diploma, or associate degree.  You can go to the attached site to read all about the career.

Depends on the specific martial art and any previous training you have.  For a beginning with no experience and assuming you train and practice consistantly, it should take 3.5-5 years.  Anything less, you have to question how you can promote up ranks so quickly without proving commitment.

it's 8 weeks long (or was) , and it's designed to break you down and build you back up Navy style. The hardest part for me was the running , not a lot , but i wasn't used to it.  You take a lot of getting yelled at and insulted , but that wasn't hard. You have a lot of classroom environment which was a great learning experience.  You learn the importance and value of teamwork. You learn naval terms and things like that. I dunno , i prolly left a lot out cause it WAS a while ago for me. It was pretty good experience though.

Usually after Basic Training, you will go directly to A.I.T. within a day or two. Depends on when the next A.I.T. class starts. If you graduate on a Friday, they may give you until Monday to report.

I'm a Marine who began boot camp at Parris Island, SC on June 1, 2004.  I'm now a Corporal, so I would like to give you some pointers that I wish I would've gotten beforehand.\n\n1.  Never look your Drill Instructors in the eyes.  The "Thousand yard stare" is all that is allowed of you.  That is, you can only look straight forward, as if off into the distance.  Your DI's will try everything they can to get you to break this discipline, including spitting in your face, screaming at your face from one inch away, and other ways that I will leave out here (there's alot).\n\n2.  Be in shape.  Get into top shape physically before you get there, and really "put out" (try your hardest) during PT (physical training) while you're there.  You'll only hurt yourself if you don't.  It's okay to be in the middle of the pack while running, but you better not be the fatbody who's last.  Everyone in boot camp suffers for the fall-out boy.  Don't be him.\n\n3.  Two choices--leader or ghost.  There's only two smart ways to go into boot camp.  One is to be a leader, that is, make your presence known to the other recruits.  Be very, very loud, be in top physical shape, and always volunteer for things.  When other recruits look up to you, the DI's will notice.  They will either make you a squad leader (there are usually four), or the Guide (recruit who is the leader of the platoon).  Volunteer for these positions if somebody gets fired.  An outstanding squad leader at graduation usually will get meritoriously promoted to PFC if he's a private, and the Guide (honor graduate) will almost always be promoted, no matter what his former contract rank (Pvt gets PFC, PFC get LCpl).\nThe other route (which I went) is to ghost your way through.  Don't ever mess up, but never volunteer, either.  This way, you won't stand out.  Near the end, though, your DI's will realize that they haven't been paying enough attention to you.  Then, watch-out!  If I could go back I would try to be the Guide, and you probably should, too.  If you're a contract PFC, being a Lance Corporal right out of boot camp is a huge advantage to you later.\n\n4.  Never think you are special.  At boot camp, you aren't.  You're a piece of crap, like everyone else.  That is the purpose of 1st phase (1st month); to make you just like everyone else.  You lose everything, including your name (you have to refer to yourself as "this recruit").  There are no special delicate snowflakes in Marine Corps boot camp.  1st phase strips away your identity.  2nd phase builds you up to be just like everyone else.  3rd phase is where you get some respect (Ok.  Not much from DI's, but other junior recruits look up to you alot.  Help them with advice when you can, and only when you won't get caught!)\n\n5.  Pay attention to what's going on.  Always.  Situational awareness is key in boot camp.  Following instructions EXACTLY without thinking will let you be a successful recruit.  If a DI tells you to do something crazy, just do it with no question.  I was a thinker (as well as a college graduate going in), and this was a hindrance to me.  Turn off the part of your brain that asks "Why are we doing this?"  If you just do what you're told life will be alot easier.  Trust me.\n\n6.  Don't get held back, and don't get injured.  If you fail at a graduation requirement (swim qualification, for example), you will be held back.  For many things, like swim qual or rifle range, you will be given a few second chances.  Falling out of humps is not one of these.  If you fall out of a hump, you go back in training.  Going back in training is one of the worst things that can happen to a recruit, because you leave the closest thing to friends or family that you have (your platoon) behind.  You are then reassigned a new platoon, and have to re-do what you failed, and you have to keep

The contracts depend.  Have you seen any recruiters yet?  I enlisted in the Navy for 5 years.  It was for but I got a $6000 bonus to add another year.  My husband enlisted in the Marine Corps for 5 years because that's what they gave him.  When they get out, people tend to either go back to school or go back home and get a normal job.  More often than not, they re-enlist.  People will swear through out their entire enlistment that will get out.  A week before they get out, they re-enlist.  \nIf you want to prepare, get in shape.  It's more mental than physical.  If you make yourself believe you can do 100 push-ups in to minutes (I mean really convince yourself) you'll do.  I joined the Navy because I was out of shape and didn't' thing I could go through the Marine Corps boot camp.  It was a breeze!  If I could change it, I would have gone Marine.\n\nGO TALK TO A RECRUITER!  Do your own research to so they can't BS you.  If you know anyone who is in or used to be, take them.

the standard rotation for army personel is "one year boots on the ground" but it adds up to like 15-16 months if you count the training for mobilization and the demobilization process.

Those answers should have been answered for you while you were at MEPS.  It's USUALLY a one stop shop.  However, if you had mentioned that something was/may be wrong, or are pending a waiver, the turn around time is 2-3 weeks.\n\nCongratulations and good luck

I had the unique experience of having gone through both. I was in the Texas National Guard when I was in college, and had to go through their basic training camp. I then decided after I left Baylor to go on active duty and wanted to follow family tradition and become a Marine, so I joined the Corps and then had to go through the 13 week MCRD (Marine Corps Recruit Depot). I was 20 when I did this. No question, the MCRD was much more demanding in every way. The physical conditioning was longer and harder, the mental demands as far as intensity were tougher. Even qualifying with a rifle was harder (500 meters vs. 300 with the Army) The drill instructors are hard, demanding, and in your face every second. During the term of your training, you will get very little sleep and just enough chow to keep you going. You will have to learn to speak a new language. It gets better as time goes along, but it all serves a purpose. But hell, they gotta take civilians and turn them into Marines. It's got to be that way. However, when I made it through, I was a Marine, and it is without a doubt one of the proudest accomplishments of my lifetime. I'm not saying that basic training at Ft. Knox was easy, but it was much less difficult than USMC basic training at MCRD San Diego. The Corps has set a higher standard if you want to become a Marine. It all depends on the commitment you have to serve, and the expectations and discipline you are willing to impose on yourself. Good luck, and Semper Fi !
