Marines in the Body Composition Program (BCP) who never think twice about "super-sizing" their meals might want to start changing their ways. The Corps recently announced that all Marines in the BCP - a six moth program to help Marines meet the Corps' strict weight standards - will have to restart the BCP from the beginning if they are shown to be "out of standard."

The new regulations state that everyone assigned to the BCP must stay in for the entire six-month program regardless of early progress. This new ruling is part of Commandant Gen. James Conway's larger plan to have Marines meet stricter standards of fitness and appearance.

Conway has also given commanders the authority to call out Marines who may be within the Corps' body composition guidelines, but still don't meet that commanders subjective judgment of proper appearance.

Once Marines meet the physical standards set down by the Corps, they can then start thinking about hitting the books with an online vocational course. Marines can take advantage of Marine Tuition Assistance (TA) which provides up to $4,500 a year for Marines to get started on their education. The best part is that Marines pay nothing out-of-pocket; the Marines Corps will pay the school directly, eliminating tuition funding as a source of worry.

When speaking with an admissions representative, married Marines should make sure to ask about the school's training options for military spouses. Many schools offer military spouse discounts, military spouse scholarships as well as a number of military-spouse friendly options to reduce the impact of tuition on a military family's budget.
