Philippine Marines recruiting, News, Updates, etc.

THE Philippine Marine Corps needs good men to become part of their organization, which is considered as one of the most prestigious branches of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).

Interested applicants must be single, Filipino citizen, between 18 to 24 years old, 65 inches in height, and have attained at least 72 units in College or equivalent to Second Year College.

The recruiting team would also consider high school graduates that possessed technical skills or vocational course.

The Philippine Marine Corps Mobile Recruiting Team will arrive on the first week of August this year to conduct the screening of the applicants at the Coast Guard District, Barangay Obrero, Iloilo City.

Applicants must bring along with them original copy of their birth certificate, original copy of marriage contract of their parents, original copy of their transcript of records, and 2 pieces 2x2 pictures with white background which are part of the initial requirements.

The Mobile Recruiting Team of the Philippine marine will also conduct screening of applicants in some parts of the region soon.

gusto ko maging isnayper sa phil marines, paano maging scout sniper?

You have to become a regular marine grunt first Isnayper before dreaming of becoming a PMSS.

i would join the PMC but im too short 5'3" and to old 26...it seems like the PMC recruits are better educated than other countries average recruit(w equla of 2yrs college and all)

Is it true that all marine officers come from the PMA only? A fellow CAT cadet says that marines are elite and they do not get officers from reserves. How true?

not true

Do officer applicants in the PMC need to have the course required with Navy officer applicants such as engineering degrees or do they accept non-engineering graduates? Thanks.

bump

The PMC is not as technical as the PN and PAF.

As long as you pass the required physical aspect, a bachelor's degree holder of any course can be accepted for officer's training. Turning you into a Marine Officer, it's the Corps that will make you into a tough one.

Thank you for your reply sir saver!

8 new marine recruits leave for Ternate, Cavite

CEBU CITY, Philippines - A 22-year-old man from Argao town, Cebu was undaunted with the beheading of the 14 Marines in Basilan and still finds himself lucky to be one of the 68 new Philippine Marine recruits.

The new Marine recruits took their oath yesterday inside Camp Lapu-Lapu, headquarters of the Armed Forces Central Command.

After the oathtaking ceremony, Jyneer Bajenting along with the rest of the new Marines yesterday took a C130 for the Marine Training Center in Tarnate, Cavite, where they would train for six months before getting deployed to Palawan, Basilan, Tawi-Tawi and Sulu.

Bajenting told Cebu Daily News that the beheading of the 14 Marines did not discourage him and others in joining the force.

“We will just pray to the Lord that nothing bad will happen to us,” Bajenting said in Cebuano.

His being a soldier has the full support of his parents.

Bajenting, who is a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Technology graduate, said he was lucky to have been one of the 68 who passed the examination and survived the training.

Mobile Recruiting Team 1st Lt. Prisco Tabo Jr. said that of the 3,060 who passed the examination, 580 applicants came from the Visayas and Mindanao area. Of the 3,060, 68 went on to survive the training.

Bajenting said that his dearest ambition as a young boy was to become a police officer. His sister is a member of the Cebu City police.

But his failure to pass the entrance examination of the National Police Commission (Napolcom) paved the way for him to instead try for the Marines.

“Ni-take ko kaduha sa Napolcom examination pero wa ko kapasar (I took the Napolcom examination twice but I failed),” Bajenting said.

But when I tried for the Marines, everything went smoothly, he said.

Before they left for the Mactan Benito Ebuen Air Base in Lapu-Lapu City, the relatives of the 68 new recruits hugged and waved them a tearful goodbye.

MANILA, Philippines -- To boost efforts to meet President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s 2010 deadline to defeat so-called enemies of the state, the military will recruit 600 Marines and fast track its modernization program, Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. said Tuesday.

"I shall not accept any deviation to the schedule set by the President," Teodoro said in a speech during ceremonies marking the anniversary of the Philippine Navy in Manila.

Teodoro said Arroyo has ordered him to review the military's modernization plan and identify areas of the program that can be fast-tracked.

He said the new Marines will be recruited within this year.
