2) I was told that full time is 4 years and reserves are 6, when that 6 is up that's it right?

3) Is basic training 9 weeks like in every other branch?

4) Can you go to college while your in the reserves?

5) How does a rotation work?

6) Is it really 2 weekends a month 2 weeks a year or is that bullshit?

7) I live in New Jersey but all the bases seem to be in the Carolina's, am I flown down there from a base here in New Jersey or what?

1: goto your recruiter tell him you want reserves with howitzers. If theres a unit in the area he'll let you know, if not, you cant get it, it has to be a unit within 50 miles of your home.

2: After 6 years your done

3: Its 13 weeks, USMC is the longest basic training in the US military

4:Yes you can goto college in the reserves, they pay for you to go also.

5: A rotation?

6: It is 1 weekend a month but the 2 weeks doesnt nessecirily mean its in the summer, mine was in april

7: Im sure theres a base in NJ somewhere that Marines reservesists are on. Like an army base or some shit.
