What is the name of your state? NY

I graduated boot camp May, 11th 2007, went off to SOI and left about a week later. My mom spoke to the hotline even before i left and they said to wait 6 months before turning myself in. And when i do so to go to Quantico, VA. We have been talking on and off with the hotline and they still say to wait 6 months. So its almost 6 months, and i just wanted to see if this sounds right? I want to get out of the marines and never go back, I should have never signed up in the first place. I want to go to Quantico, do what i gotta do to get the **** out of the marines and start over. I dont care if i get discharged, i just eant out. Any information or knowlage on this is greatly appericated.

FYI: Nobody on this site is going to give you advice on being UA or when to turn yourself in. USMC handles ua's on an individual basis, so there is no predicting what length of time is better or worse. So, unless you have a private military attorney, GI Rights can give the best advice - in my opinion. Those volunteers are trained to lay everything out for GI's as best they can in most situations, not just discharge/ua. (I also know they do need donations). Good for your mother for anticipating and being prepared; she knows you well.
When you get to Quantico, you MAY be sent to the barracks where they put you to work all day. How long is up in the air-individual basis, again. That's what happened to my brother, and he said lots of guys were there in the same position. Make sure you have everything you may need as far as documents, etc.
I can tell you that Marines look for guys after 6 mos and that's not something you want to risk having to deal with-they shouldn't have to waste manpower on that, and don't appreciate the guys they're looking for... That's all I can tell you. Good luck to you.
