Well that sounds a little more like the Marine Corps I was in but still thats high when they arent letting kids who do enlist even go to basic training for about 10 months after they enlist. When I joined in 1987 I enlisted in June and was through MEPS and into Boot Camp by August 13th. Didnt take barely more than 2 months... now the time it takes to get in is 5 times that amount? Why spend more money...
