Texas_DPS Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 English fluently is a plus but not a requirement. While in basic you will live in the squad bay, you will find out what that is when you get there. And when you are done with basic, BCT or Infantry training you will be stationed at the needs of the Corps, not where you want to live. Most Marines are FROM Texas, not stationed there.

TacticalRooster22 Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 My "Crazy Cousin Steve" was in the NAVY and was stationed all the way in Japan! The Marines require rigorous training, though. Hope everything goes well. It's quite a job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoppah Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 I assume you live in Portugal and have the Portuguese nationality? I did a quick searchhttp://www.marines.mil/usmc/Pages/faq.aspx#enlistmentI am not a U.S. citizen, but I want to join your Armed Forces. How may I do this?Enlistment into any branch of the U.S. military, by citizens of countries other than the United States is limited to those foreign nationals who are legally residing in the United States and possess a Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services Alien Registration Card (INS Form I-151/551 - commonly known as a "Green Card"). The U.S. military branches cannot assist foreign nationals in obtaining admittance into the United States. People overseas with questions concerning immigration to the United States should ask the local U.S. Embassy. Only after immigration procedures are completed and an applicant is legally residing in the United States may an application for enlistment be accepted. The U.S. government agency which is responsible for immigration and naturalization is the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services within the Department of Homeland Security.So you are going to need legal permanent residence in the United States first. Good luck with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadylasse Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 I think you need American Citizenship as well, you do that for the FDNY so I guess it's the same at the marines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swatlord Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 I think you need American Citizenship as well, you do that for the FDNY so I guess it's the same at the marines.Yes, because they're so similar, if you can get into one you can get into the other.You have to be an American citizen to get ANY job in the US (or, if it's not that big a job, a working permit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoppah Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 You already got a health inspection to see if you can actually join a branch of the armed forces? I knew people who got rejected from the army because of the most awkward reasons. You can be all fit and/or muscular, but one simple ailment might ruin it. Just take Voodoo_Operators advise and (try to) join the Portugese armed forces first before you do anything stupid. To me it sounds like you have no idea what you are up to. 'love' is no reason to me, what you need is dedication and knowing exactly what you are actually up to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TROOPER05 Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 If U want to Join & don't have citizenship - you need a Green card & must speak & write fluent English, pass tests regarding such & then pass everything required of a U.S. citizen. I recruited for 2 months after MCT.I wish you the best Semper Fi TROOPER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
