Lt. Richard Jahelka said he joined the Marines five months ago ready to fight in Iraq

is this possible ?
He'd be a 2nd Lt. probably, but joined 5 months ago ?
OCS used to be 10 weeks, then another 6 months of additional training.
Any newer Corps Marines shed some light on this ?

Possible, but not likely that an LT is peering through a rifle scope. Heard of Navy commissioned officers going over to the Marine Corps, and even a few Coasties. It is possible that Army or Air Force officers could move over to the Corps, but I can not think of any specific instance of when it last happened.
