Allegations of Recruiter Malpractice in the Marine Corps

Marine Corps recruiting efforts in the Detroit, Michigan, and Tulsa, Oklahoma, areas were reviewed following allegations by two former recruiters of widespread recruiting malpractices in those areas. The review included: investigations of recruiting stations; reviews of recruiting policies, procedures, and practices; examination of records, reports, and correspondence; and interviews with present and former recruiters. Allegations of malpractice involved enlistment of unqualified applicants by trading them for other unqualified applicants in nearby states, schooling them to lie, and running fake police checks.
