I have a cousin who was a Marine for about 2 years and was injured in a training exersice and after a couple of months of surgery and recovery he was discharged.

Before he was in the Marines he was a mess but the marines straightened him out somewhat.

Now that he is out he doesn't know what to do he was offered a few good jobs but is undecided. All he really wants is back into the Marines.

He talked to a recruiter and tried signing some waivers but they still turned him down.

He is willing to sign a waiver saying any further injures cause by serving in the marines will not be the marines fault or will they be liable for his medical care in any way.

Is there any way he can get back into the marines and no he will not settle for joining any other service than the marines.

If the corps doesn't want him (and they must not if they discharged him) then there probably isn't much he can do. He can ask, as he apparently has, but the USMC makes the final decision. Medical regulations/standards exist for a reason. It's not just cost, but fear of him not being able to perform or needing care at some remote location, that drives a lot of these decisions. Whatever his specific problem, hopefully it won't terribly effect his civilian employment.

He may not be able to enlist in the Marine Corps, but if he really likes the atmosphere and wants to work with/around Marines he can always try for a job as a civilian employee. The DoN/Corps hires people in virtually every occupation. Civil Service may not have the glamour of Force Recon, but a lot of people like it.

He could maybe try a different branch of the military. I know the Marines is the toughest, however other branches could offer him a job that he could do despite any further problem he could have. However, if he was discharged for medical reasons I'm not sure if they could take him or not, all that legal stuff and I agree with the not being able to get help in a remote area.
