QUESTION: I am looking for qualifications for USMC

Answer
Hi Jim,

Okay, same article that I referenced the first time (http://usmilitary.about.com/od/joiningthemilitary/a/enlstandards.htm).

The Maximum enlistment age for the Marine Corps is age 28. Take you current age. Subtract your years of active duty service (4). If the result in greater than 28, you are not eligible to re-enlist in the Marine Corps (but you might be eligible to enlist in a different service).

Hope this helps!
