BEAUFORT, S.C. - It’s that time of year again where Marines across the globe are faced with a tough decision; they can either leave the Marine Corps or attempt to re-enlist.
“It’s a tough decision either way,” said Gunnery Sgt. Eric Sweezor, former career planner for Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort. “Marines should take a good look at their strengths and weaknesses before deciding to re-enlist.
“Reenlistment standards in the Marine Corps are higher than ever, said Sweezor. It’s becoming a competition to stay in.”
Some of the basic requirements for re-enlistment include having a recommendation from their commanding officer and must demonstrate the high standards of leadership, professional competence, appearance, and personal behavior, meet medical and dental standards, have a current passing score on the Physical Fitness Test and Combat Fitness Test, and meet height and weight standards.
Speak to your unit’s career planner for a complete list of requirements.
“If Marines are squared away and motivated about staying in, we would love to keep them in the Corps,” said Sweezor.
