If you're in the Marine Corps Reserve, Do you attend drill before boot camp?

I just enlisted in the USMCR and I leave for MCRD December 28th.
It takes months before you actually start drilling.

This is chronologically what's going to happen:
Boot Camp, Boot Camp Graduation, 10 days leave (you can request more through your recruiter by asking to be a recruiter's assistant), Marine Combat Training (for all MOSs other than Infantry) or School of Infantry (for all MOSs Infantry) followed by your MOS School. How long your MOS school lasts really depends on your MOS. It is not until you finish your MOS school and training that you actually start your monthly drills. Good luck if you are joining. Give me an email if you have any more questions. Hope this helps.
 
No you do not. You still go through your 13 weeks of boot camp, 10 days leave, SOI, and follow on school, but instead of going into the Fleet Marine Force you go back to your hometown and that's when you would start drilling.

Before boot camp if you're in the DEP you would probably attend weekly PT with other poolees, active and reserve.
