2 different boot camps?

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida

I was in a bar last night and I met a recruiter. A Gunnery Sgt. in the Corps. We got to talking and I told him that I was once in the Marine reserves. I was called up to active duty for Desert Storm. Upon returning from Desert Storm, I wanted to go active. Unfortunately that is the time when they were doing large scale cut backs in the Corps. I ended up signing up with the Navy. I was very suprised when I had to attend Navy boot camp.

Upon telling the recruited this last night in the bar, he about had a heart attack. He was going on and on about how it was illegal for the Navy to send me to boot camp because I already attended Marine Corps boot camp.

Any truth to this? It all sounds a little strange to me.

On a side note, I almost didn't make it through Navy boot camp. I was pretty stressed out. I thought it was so ridiculous, I almost lost my mind. Geez, what a waste of taxpayers money.

Zigner, that is not for you to decide. If you don't have anything useful to say, it would be best for you not to say anything at all. And to answer your question, yes, it matters to me. I would just like to know. It would be useful information for my curiosity. That is why this forum is here, to gain useful information. Not for idiotic replies like yours!

OK

So, you think that the entire military apparatus broke down and sent you 'illegally' to a send round of training for a seperate tour of service in a different service branch... on the word of someone you met while out drinking.

What hypothetical? Do you even know what "hypothetical" means? I was in the Marines and then the Navy. Did both boot camps. No hypotheticals. Please stay out of this post. You seem to be a moron.

Again, what does it matter? If it doesn't matter, then it's hypothetical. If it DOES somehow matter, feel free to explain.

This is what I was asking about. Is it illegal like he says? This is what these forums are about aren't they? This is not a hypothetical question. This is a legal forum and I'm asking a question in regards to see if a law was broken. I don't see the "hypothetical" here.

The hypothetical is that you have not told us why something that happened last century is relevant.

Is the boot camp for Marine RESERVES comparable to the boot camp for MARINES?

If it matters, anyway.

Because it's relevant to me! Hell, it might be relevant to someone else. Do you work for the goverment? You must, because this is getting ridiculous! Your making it way more complicated then it needs to be which makes me think you work for Uncle Sam. Answer the question if you know it, otherwise please keep the whole under your nose closed and let someone post they may have an answer. Its a legit question!

Silverplum, yes it's the exact same boot camp. Active and reserve marines go to boot camp together.

Ok, let's look at it another way...
Assume that it was handled improperly for you. What do you hope to accomplish?

Okay, let's start at the top: Why do you think this guy was telling the truth?

The question was Zigner, Is it against the law?????????????????????

Its relevance has to do if it was legal or not! That is what makes it relevant to me. Maybe not to you, but to me. That is what this forum is about. Also, maybe it happened to someone that goes on this forum last year. Yes, it was last century. Not a 100 years ago, but last century. The date at which this happened has no relevance to this post.
