after you take the physical and get sworn in how long does it usually take to leave fore boot camp with the marines?
 
When I was talking to the Marines in June they were telling me the quickest ship date would be in December, they tried talking me into working in the recruiting station until then and they would promote me to E2 . I ended up going with the Army and got shipped within a month with a option 40 contract and 20k bonus.

I don't think you will run into the same problems I did, since everybody tries to get shipped out after school ends (me)
 
It won't take you more than 12 months from your initial swear in at M.E.P.S, and it'll depend if your MOS school starts 2 weeks after your graduation. So it varies greatly.
 
My brother in law is in the army and it took him one week after he was sworn in to be sent to basic training.
