Thanks for the quick response. I'll let him know.

From what I have been told by the recruiters in my area that only females are NOT going to FMTB, that all males will...it is overmaned so that is the only option for males at this time.

So has anyone gained any sort of new information this rating? Between what retired Sailors and Marines have said, my recruiter and Navy Liaison Yeomen at MEPs, and the Navy Corpsman Facebook page, and a couple of other active duty Sailors, the information is contradicting. Some say all males go HM-8404 for C school or that the program has been integrated into A school. Some say FMF is a rare billet to get these days, some say its all they have.
Any current HM mind setting this right once and for all? It seems a lot has changed in the past few years.

I am a future HM in DEP, BUT I talked with a friend of mine that is currently a HM and he tells me that attending FMTB and obtaining 8404 is mandatory to stay in the rate. With that said I am not sure if actually getting an FMF billet is easy or not. I too would like some more clarification on this if anyone has some insight

Sorry, but no. If you have dependents however you should be able to receive BAH

Did you get HMDA ahead of hand? Meaning guaranteed on your contract? Just wondering.
Would Reserve HM go through the stuff Actives ones would go?
