Whats Not REquired? Although many people think that all U.S. Marines are American citizens, citizenship is not a requirement.

Non-citizens may be unable to work in certain career 鍖elds, but could cross train if they do become a citizen.
Requirements To Join The Marines: Get an Education An education is a must in the U.S. Marine Corps.

Requirements to Join The Marines: Age Limits The best time to become a Marine is while youre young. Currently, potential Marines need be between 17 and 29. Although 17 year olds can enlist, they do need a parents permission if they enlist before their 18th birthday.
