Army Reserve to Marine DEP?

Listen you did nothing wrong. You actually did the right thing by backing out and improving your grades. Education first because the Military will always be there. What the Marine Recruiter is talking about is the Army was suppose to write a official letter discharging from the branch. If you did go to basic training during the Split Op, you were partially in the Military upon graduation. The Army is the only branch that has the Split Op bs. I will tell you the Army is a little disappointed that they started your training and you backed out. You will be fine. Dont worry yourself about the discharge, it is just a formality. The Marines will be a Experience you never forget from Day 1 of boot camp. Trust me. Its been 22yrs and i remember Day 1 like it was yesterday.
