Parenting responsibilities present problems if you want to join the Marines.
Military service is dangerous and demanding work, and cannot adapt to a service member's parenting responsibilities. If you're a parent interested in joining the Marines, certain criteria must be met to enable you to enlist. If you are a single parent, it involves transferring physical and legal custody to someone else. This must be done by court order; informal arrangements will not be sufficient. This person the child's other parent or a third party. This requirement cannot be waived.
Instructions
1. Consult with a Marine Corps recruiter. You might have to surrender custody up to a year before enlisting.
2. Locate other parent. If parent is fit and willing to assume sole custody, transfer sole custody to other parent.
3. If other parent cannot be located, proceed to terminate his or her rights for abandonment. Transfer sole custody to a third party of your choice.
4. If other parent is unwilling to assume custody, obtain consent to transfer custody to a third party. If a parent is unfit and unwilling to transfer custody, sue to transfer custody to third party.
