Re: Joining Marines?

AQP, I don't know you well, but I'm afraid you are probably a bit to girly for the Marines!

As angry as I am today, I think I'd be a perfect fit. I could take care of all of the problems in Afghanistan today, I think. Just give me some ammo.

One of our teen sons got a ticket last night for going NINETY MILES AN HOUR. I'm so hopping mad I could chew nails. And yes, his tail is PARKED. For quite a while.

He is the one who is considering joining.

Ferd, I'd be happy to talk to you when the time is closer. He's just turned 17, so he still has a year.

In his mind, he wants to serve his country, and do something to give back. Plus, probably at his age, he thinks it sounds cool. I don't really expect him to go through with it. But I'm planning to use the idea to get him to bust his tail on his schoolwork this year.

I was just googling, though, and realized that he might have a harder time anyway, because we've homeschooled. The Army accepts homeschoolers as regular grads, now, but the other branches still consider them Tier 2.

Re: Joining Marines?

If the homeschool curriculum qualifies your son for a high school diploma in your state, then it should not be an issue at all for him.

Yes you have to score high enough to join the Marines. I believe the score is 55-- I do know there is a standard for the ASVAB.


There is a standard for the Army, but it is lower, like somewhere in the 30's.


Let me know if I can help you with anything.
