Sounds like B.S. My son just enlisted in the Corps. He leaves for MCRD 0n Feb 17. You gotta have high school diploma if still in school to get in. If a dropout, gotta have GED. Further, these recruiters are picked from the some of the best of the enlisted, so its unlikely a recruiter would be saying this stuff.

once your son gets to boot camp make sure and send a few letters addressed to, "[first name] 'push-ups' [last name". During mail call the DIs will just love that.
