Is it possible for another branch to pull my existing enlistment, and simply (or not so simply) change my branch before my ship date?

So I enlisted as soon as I turned 17. I haven't even finished high school yet, but I have a ship date set for about a month after I graduate. My question is, is it possible for another branch to pull my existing enlistment, and simply (or not so simply) change my branch?

Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of being a medic. That's why I chose the contract I did. It's just that I've always had an urge to join the Corps, and I guess I'm having second thoughts.

PVT Private RallyPoint Member I do not have an answer for you, but others will. You have posted in the group "Help." In order to obtain more views, please edit your Post to add the following groups: Army, Recruit, Recruiter, Marine Corps. Combat Medics are highly respected, so why do you want to be a Marine?

1. Have you been notified of such? 2. It possible, but normally it would mean that the MOS you signed up for is over strength now or deleted for the service.
