Jobs In The Marines Not For Just Anyone

Here are some basic facts about jobs in the Marines. First, to be interested in US Marine jobs, you need to be tough. No easy way to say this, but you need a strong work ethic and a healthy dose of ‘grit’.

Sure, the United States Marine Corps wants you to join but if you’re not willing to sacrifice to be strong, one of the best or for your country… then you may want to consider a career elsewhere. One thing is for sure, if you join the Marines, you will likely be in the best physical condition in your life by the time you finish Marines basic training.

– For a GED enlistment in the Marines, an applicant must score a minimum of 50 on the ASVAB (read the ‘Truth about the ASVAB’ here), but your chances will be much better with at least a 90.

– The Marine Corps is the only service which requires a waiver if you admit to any history of marijuana use.
