Can you go to U.S.M.C Boot Camp while 17 and a junior in high school?

Question

over the summer? or do you have to wait until you graduate because i believe i heard a recruiter say you have to wait until you graduate highschool and you have to be 18 but im not sure

Answer 1

NO soup for you..

The USMC is not the National Guard which allows for you to do this.

You go to boot camp after you graduate or after you get your GED.

Answer 2

Although you can join the DEP while in high school, you must wait until you obtain your diploma or GED before you can go to USMA Boot Camp!

Best of luck.
