My husband talked to a recruiter.
I'm so nurvous for him because he joined the marines a year ago and only made it to week 7 of training because he got hurt but he's willing to join again and I support him in every way I just hope things go better for him this time.
If he does sign a contract in dec how long will it take for him to go to boot camp?

The Navy is very overmanned right now so he could wait up to a year to go, it depends on what he wants to do and what's available. He needs to try and get at least a 70 on the ASVAB, the higher the score the better chance of getting called earlier than others. Good luck, you sound like you'd make a great Navy wife.

Like ChrisAmo said he may have a wait of up to a year. He can study for the ASVAB...there are study tests on line as well. He may have to have a waiver for his injury from the Marines and that will take time as well.

Thank u and yes he informed his recruiter about his back and he said it would be ok for him to get a waiver.
He didn't stay in mrp for the marines because
He just wanted to come home and maybe try joined another branch later on.
The recruiter said once he goes to meps he will be check for anything that has to do with his back and hopefully he can get a waiver.

Just make sure he reveals absolutely everything, even if the recruiter advises him not to mention something. The Navy is very hard on prospective recruits who don't tell the whole truth. Better to tell the truth and have to wait for a waiver than to omit something and get separated later for "fraudulent enlistment."
