Apply for Army/Marines at the same time?

[RighteousHammer]

Hi, I'm talks with the Army recruiter to join but was wondering if its possible to apply for the Army and Marines at the same time to see if I can get accepted to both, then choose. I didn't want to go sneaking in the the Marine office because it is right next door, and didn't want to straight up ask the army recruiter encase I wouldn't get the correct info from him. Just wondering, thank you for any replies.

Yes you can. I would tell both of them what you are doing too ; for two reasons first and foremost just to be honest, second it is a negotiating tactic. I am in the Army and the Army offers more specialites and faster promotions. The Marines are more ******** as an organization (though the Army has the Rangers, Special Forces, and Airborne units if you are so inclined).
