Need info on Parris Island USMC Training!!?
ok my bf’s dad was marine and his mom air force…long story short it’s his 3rd year in college coming up and he still isn’t thrilled about what he is doing…If he decides to go to Parris Island what should I expect. When will he get leave…what is his liberty like…when can he call or send mail…that kind of stuff. Also after graduation where will he go…what is his obligations after graduation and what training is still left?! I live in SC so traveling isn’t fair and i have some knowledge of military life…i dated a midshipman at USNA for about 6 months…just wondering how Parris Island works!! Thanks so much for your help!!
what will he do after parris Island…will he be enlisted…officer…how does he get officer etc??
While your bf’s stay at the lovely Paris Island MCRD, he will have 2 chances to contact you via phone. The first time will be the second he gets there to inform you he has arrived safely and the second time will be when he gets close to graduation. There are a few exceptions, such as he becomes the company “iron man” and the DIs may reward him by making a phone call home but they are rare and you shouldn’t expect that to happen. As for mail, there is a slight delay in receiving mail but he will also be able to write to you. On the first piece of mail should be the address for his platoon and base.
After Parris Island, he will receive 10 days of leave and go on to MCT (Marine Combat Training) at Camp Geiger. Then he will go on straight from MCT to his MOS school (which will differ in location) for a certain amt of time, which also depends on his MOS.
To go onto becoming an officer he will have to first get a college degree (4 yrs) and go through OCS (Officer Candidate School). He then will have to go to PLC or OCC to get his commission as an officer in the USMC. I believe he will have to go to MOS school again if he decides to change his MOS as an officer. Good luck and Semper Fi.
EDIT: After boot camp, he is enlisted and not an officer.
