United States Marine Corps Recruitment for African Graduates and Non-Graduates| Apply Now
Overview
The Marine Corps is one of the most elite fighting forces in the world. The Marines are a part of the Department of the Navy and operate in close cooperation with U.S. Naval forces at sea. The Marine Corps’ mission is unique among the services. Marines serve on U.S. Navy ships, protect naval bases, guard U.S. embassies, and provide an ever-ready quick strike force to protect U.S. interests anywhere in the world.
To perform the many duties of the Marine Corps, approximately 174,000 officers and enlisted Marines fly planes and helicopters; operate radar equipment; drive armored vehicles; gather intelligence; survey and map territory; maintain and repair radios, computers, jeeps, trucks, tanks, and aircraft; and perform hundreds of other challenging jobs. Over the centuries, the United States has historically welcomed immigrants to its shores and millions of them have made the trek. America has been so welcoming that it’s even made a place for eligible foreign-born non-U.S. citizens within the ranks of its armed forces. If you were born in another country and aren’t a citizen but desire to serve in America’s military, then there is a way to do so.
