Is there any programs where I can switch from Navy active duty to Marine active duty?

Most of the above answers are not true.  The Blue to Green program simply streamlines the process.  A DD Form 368, which is a “Conational Release to your Navy DD Form 4 Contract” can be routed via your chain of Command along with a  NAVPERS1306/7 (Enlisted Personal Action Request) Now, once approved via NAVY PERS you can work with a USMC recruiting.  Once enlisted under USMC contract your Navy contract is canceled.  \n\nReality, depending on you rate, command,  length of service, this is highly unlikely to get approved.  Your Command Career Counselor will be able to give you more info.

Im active duty Navy right now.  This is what I have noticed:\nArmy- Low recruitment= high bonuses  but they have the lowest standards of living\n\nMarines- You really have to want to be a marine... they don't mess around.  Hard to get into technical programs. A lot of PT.  Harder than some branches to get promoted.\n \nNavy- A huge variety of careers.  Transition from civilian to soldier not to difficult.  At sea a lot during your first tour. Some very long days underway.\n\nCoast Guard- Cake. I was talkin to a gas turbine mechanic in the coast guard today.  He just came back from a 30 day tour which included: Key West, Fl\nCozumel, mexico some columdian island....and a couple more very cool places.  This guy is getting out in jan.  looking to make $100 per hour in miami.\n\nAir Force- My best friend has been in there for five years.  They have the best standard of living and the easiest working hours.\n\nI ranked them from worst to best in my opinion.  Hope this helps- I know it would have if I read it before I joined.  Any other questions just email me, I know someone in active duty from each branch.

Anytime you want to crossover to active duty just request it through you Company Commander in writing. USN VET at your service.

You can go straight to active duty, I believe.  You may even have to.

Try asking a Navy recruiter. My ex-sailor husband just explained to me the other day the relationship between the Merchant Marines and the Navy, and unfortunately I can't quote it to you, but the Navy people should be able to steer you in the right direction.

go to navy.com set up an account it's free and there's a step by step of what bootcamp consists of.\n\nIt will tell you how many push-ups and sit ups you must do in a minute and you have to run 1.5 miles in like 15 minutes...but it's very thorough.

I dont know who told you this information, but you may want to start lookin for a new source. The answer is a large NO! The army and coast guard are seperate armed forces. Plus soldiers are not baseball players and cant be traded. But you can put in a request for a discharge to switch to another service. These are not regularly approved though.

I'm ex-military and live in the largest military installation in the world.\nBeing ex-Navy you know exactly where I live.\n\nForgot about it dude, take your General, Other than Honorable and move on with your life.\nIf you get injured while on duty now...they will NOT allow you time to even rehab.\nIf you are not Duty-Ready IMMEDIATLEY FOR DEPLOYMENT....you ain't in and you ain't gonna be in.\n\nThey are having SEVERE problems presently, and will not even give you the time of day, certainly not take the time to even give you a hearing.\nThey won't give active duty personal hearings, let alone a boot.\n\nIt's pretty ridiculous, there are plenty of people WILLING to go Active Duty and STAY Active Duty but the cadre simply doesn't have the time or the ability to allow a process like an upgrade of a discharge.\n\nOne thing you MIGHT try......try a sympathetic ARMY recruiter.\nThey are DEPARATE for full time Active Duty bodies.\nIt wouldn't matter anyway.....they are now pulling SAILORS OFF SHIPS and training them WITH the Army for various "desert security forces".\nI kid you not.\nScary business.\n\nGood luck sailor.

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.

I have access to them and alot more.  But I don't think it is in my best intrest to break my contract by giving it out over the internet.  Try joining the USCG if you want to fly a c130
