More than 7,000 Marines could get the boot ― and maybe sooner than they expect

The Corps just pushed out its guidance on the Defense Department’s new “deploy or get out policy,” aimed at boosting readiness and lethality by booting out service members who have been non-deployable for 12 months.

But Marines shouldn’t expect to have the full 12 months to whoop themselves back into deployable shape.

In a forcewide message posted Wednesday, the Corps says it can start administrative or disability separation procedures before the 12-month mark.
