Recruit registration is closed! Recruit registration is now closed.  Registration for new recruits may begin in the late July or August of 2008.  Please continue to monitor the website for updated information. If you are still interested and and can't wait until the next recruitment, I would recommend using the Unit Locator to find a unit closest to you.  We are also looking for more adult staff volunteers as we continue to grow.  We have an open enrollement for Adult Volunteers.  You don't even need to register to help out.  If you are interested in helping out, please ask our staff how you can help the unit.  We are always looking for creative, helpful people such as yourself to assist us.    If you are interested please let us know by e-mail at desertyoungmarines@hotmail.com or call at 623-570-3154.  You may also be able to check with other Units to see when their having their next recruitment. You are always welcome to attend one of our meetings to meet our adult staff members and the Young Marines. Watch what we do and maybe assist in any questions you may have about the Organization. Meetings are held each Tuesday evening at the West Valley Family Church at 6115 N. 91st Ave Glendale, AZ. There are certain requirements that must be met to be elligible to join the Young Marines.  First you must be between the ages of 8 and 18 (or the completion of highschool).  You must have a social security number, you must have a current Physcial exam on file with the unit within 90 days of registration, and pay an annual registration fee of $50.00.
