No, you do not. The Marines is the only branch of Service that the US Army accepts people without going through any form of introduction training.
Talk to your Local Marine Recruiter. Go To Marine.com for more information
Yes. When in Basic Training/Advanced Individual Training (or One Station Unit Training), soldiers are paid according to their pay grade, which can be pay grades E-1 through E-4. A soldier fresh out of high school is paid as E-1; if they completed one or two years of Junior ROTC, they're paid as E-2; for completing three or four years of Junior ROTC, or having been an Eagle Scout, or for having a certain amount of university credits, they enlist as E-3; for prior service members, or persons who possess a university degree, they enlist as E-4.
In order to become a Marine Corps Officer you have to go through the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps program in college, go through OCS after College, or go to the Naval Academy. All Marine Corps Officers are college graduates. You can enlist after high school but the program in high school is not strictly military training, it is only military affiliated. In fact ROTC in High School may not help you very much in trying to become a Marine Officer. The majority of high school ROTC members who eventually join the military enlist, while many officers played a couple of sports and worked on getting good grades more than anything else. Talk to a recruiter if you are interested in going enlisted, or try to find the Naval ROTC at colleges you are interested for more information on becomming an Officer. You have to graduate with a college degree in order to be commissioned an Officer. If you flunk out of college, you will not get a commission even if you complete all the ROTC requirements/courses.
When you enlist, you usually do not choose what base you are put on. You may not even find out until you are on a C-130 over the Atlantic.
You volunteer (you enlist or join the Army).
Marine Boot Camp does not cost money. Those that enlist are provided their uniforms, food and shelter as well as their training. They even pay those that are going through boot camp!
You must be a High School graduate to enlist and then you must complete 13 weeks of Boot Camp.
Enlist, request an Airborne contract, complete Basic Combat Training and Advanced Individual Training (for certain occupations, this will be combined into a single One Station Unit Training course), complete the jump school at Fort Benning.
If you mean Parris Island Marine Corps training camp, - you have to be 18 to enlist in the Marines - you can be any age to visit the camp
No, they do not recruit illegal immigrants. They don't allow them to enlist in the armed forces. You must be in good standing to enlist.
It would be highly unlikely. Consult a Marine Recruiter with your DD-214 in hand.
A High School diploma is all you require to enlist.
First, you enlist in the Army. You pass Basic Combat Training and Advanced Individual Training (or One Station Unit Training, depending on what occupation you enlist for). Then you have to wait until you make the rank of Specialist (E4). At that point, you can request to go to Special Forces Assessment and Selection. If you complete SFAS, then you'll have the opportunity to advance in the selection process to the Q-Course. Once that's done, you'll be assigned to an SF unit.
It was on 8 September 1949 when Annie E. Graham joined the Corps.
You do not join "bootcamp", you enlist in the US military. Boot camp is a slang term for the initial training that a service member undergoes. To enlist, you must be at least 17 years of age with parental consent. You may enlist at 18. There are also educational requirements to meet to enlist.

No college is required to enlist in the US Marine Corps, a High School diploma is all that is needed. To be a US Marine officer, a Bachelors degree is pretty much required.
