Transfer from Army to Marine Corps prior to the conclusion of your Army contract?

I'm an active duty soldier in the U.S. Army. I'm an enlisted soldier... E-4. I am interested in transferring to the Marine Corps but I have been unable to find adequate information online to answer the question of whether or not this can be done. I'm on my second contract and would be qualified to go into the officer's program if that is the only way it can be done (I finished my M.A. prior to enlisting in the Army in 2006). If need be, I'd be willing to enter an officer's program if that is what would get me through the transfer.

The bottom line is that if any Marines or Soldiers here can provide me any information on whether it is possible to transfer from active Army to the Marine Corps (either as enlisted or officer), the information would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Possible? yes

Likely NO!!

You would start out by going to see a Marine recruiter. Just like first getting into the Army that recruiter and his/her COC would have to determine if you qualify for entry into the Marine Corps. If found that they are willing to get you into the Marines they would start a DD form 368. You would route that form through your chain of command.

If approved by the Army you would be discharged an usually within several days the Marines would send you to MEPS again for the contract, swearing into the Marines, etc.

DD form 368
