I am Schuyler Glahn, I’m 17 from Owensboro Kentucky. I am very interested in the Marine Corps, and i was hopeing to find a medical based job within the Corps. My grandfather was a medic in the U.S. Army in Korea and i very much would liek to follow in his footsteps. However, I want to step it up and join the best of the best. Is there any type of feild nursing jobs, jobs kind of like a civilian E.M.T would do or are the nursing jobs all based in a feild hospital? I have been doing intence physical training for teh past two years in preperation for teh Corp, but only recently have I decided on a job path to take once enlisted. I also plan on becoming an Officer after getting college sufficiant credits, which hopefuly would make me elligable for a wider range of jobs, but I am not sure on the way things work entirely so a reply to this letter with some information on the subject would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely: Schuyler Glahn

Ive been here in the states since 2003. I finished my associates degree in nursing here also and currently working as a registered nurse in the hospital. i only have a working visa. i am not a us- citizen nor i have a green card. am i qualified to join or do i need to have at least a green card or a bachelor’s degree?
January 18th, 2010 at 10:14 pm
Cris, your education shouln’t be a problem. if you don’t meet schooling requirements then the military may likely pay for you to finish your degree.
Not sure about the citizenship requirement. I was under the impression citizenship was required but someone informed me otherwise. The best way for you to be sure is to contact a recruiter and ask him directly.

I will graduate from nursing school soon and was wondering if it was possible for me to join the Marines Corp as a nurse? Is it possible?
