So I was hoping to get some clarification for a buddy. hes in the marines and is going through a lot at this point in his life with family and other civilian obligations. his miltary situation is as follows. he joined with a contract with Intel as his priority MOS. after basic and combat training, he was told he didnt pass his clearance background investigation, so he would have to choose a different MOS. he was placed into a holding company for a couple weeks until admin got to his paperwork and he was given a couple options to choose from, in which he became a motor t mechanic. upon completing schooling for that MOS he checked into his unit and found that his clearance went through and there were no problems with the investigation, but that someone had made a mistake and made him change MOS for nothing. At this point in his life it would be ideal and a huge weight off his shoulders if he was able to get out of his contract. so my question is, is this one of the rare times the situation could be considered a breach of contract?

Define, "get out of his contract". Does he want out of the Marines entirely or does he want to get transferred into Intel? In any case, this is something that perhaps he should talk to JAG about.

No.

The answer is no.
