My son wanted a 4yr. contract, trusting the recruiter he signed the contract. The recruiter put down 4yrs. and 5 months saying boot camp don't count. and training also, Whats going here? Is this a new way too get more time out of the men joining ? Went in 2017 /9 /13 discharge date 2022/2/17, I think the recuiter pulled a fast one?

It does count towards the enlistment time. The recruiter pulled a fast one.

LCpl Sandy Moran Marine Corps Boot Camp does count as part of a four year enlistment. I would like to see the paperwork because this is strange.
