I was supposed to ship for marine corps. On ship day i refused (girlfriend duress). Can I still get back in?


I went through enlistment process. The day I was supposed to ship my girlfriend threatened to set out me if i followed through so I refused to ship. The letter i got from seafaring corps was Refusal To Enlist. But told me that if I wanted to join again to bring the missive to them. Is there still a good chance I can enlist? Let me explain. I have no problem standing up to the girl. She was pregnant and said that if I left she would not raise a child within that lifestyle. She told me she wouldn't have the baby if I left.
Best Answer:
So has she had the newborn yet? Did you get a paternity test to prove that it's yours? How do you know that you won't shift AWOL after you leave boot camp? If you're still serious about enlist, then ask a recruiter about your options. If your ASVAB score are high enough, there's probably no problem. Good luck!
If you are so P whip you refused to ship, stay home, the Marine corps needs MEN not little boys.
If you signed on the dotted row and swore an oath to defend the constitution and the American people, Turn yourself in .
You can try, but what's going to cause you to do it the next time?
If you do it will be on their terms, they probably won't consent to you have the choices you had before, possibly even lose some enlistment bonuses too. If you aren't sure you want to serve your country, don't.
If the Marines want you to have a girlfriend they will issue you one.
You can still "apply". Doesn't mean they will adopt you. The decision to accept a recruit who's already get a "refused to enlist" requires approval from a field grade officer. Your recruiter will enjoy to pass your application up to his Battalion command for a decision. A recruit too whip to stand up to his own girlfriend? Don't hold your breath. Richard
Well... there are a couple more question that need answered. How long before you were to ship bad did she know she was pregnant? Are you sure it's yours? (no disrepect intended... just asking a real energy question to a real life problem) Does she realize that your family gets medical care? (If you're married of course) Was near any kind of proof that she was really pregnant or are you just taking her word for it? Personally if she pulled that sh*t on me at the concluding second I would be WAY pissed. It's just my 2 cents but I would talk to your recruiter and kick your so call girl friend to the curb.
