I recently got out of the Marine Corps but unfortunately I did not get the opportunity to go on a combat deployment. I know some guys deploy who are in the IRR by volunteering to go to a reserve unit that’s deploying or going as an augment if a unit has an open slot. Just want to know if anyone has done this and if so what was the process like, and how recently was it?

I’d recommend try going Reserves instead of trying to be an augmentee. For everyone else reading this, I’d recommend going Guard or Reserves before IRR. It’s much easier to move out of the military then trying to weasel your way back in.

Cpl Hamid, I recommend you reach out to a Prior Service Recruiter and find out what unit out there in the Marine Corps have a need for you in your current MOS or if you can fill a new slot so you can join the available unit for deployment.
