From my understanding, a number of Jews who were marines complained about discrimination in the past, but I think it's relatively normal unfortunately.

Furthermore, isn't wearing a kippah against uniform regulations in US military?

You are also required to shave in military and to keep hair short.

I think you are right. They can say do this "Jew Boy" And you can't do anything. They forms you fill out when you sign up prevent you from filing complaints like this one.
