TLDR: AirForce vet, Should I go to College or Marines? Background:

Anyone? I can give more details if needed

Do you want to be a Marine?
You will get paid more in IT as a civilian and at times the Corps is going to suuuuuuuck.
But you get to be a US Marine.
For some people, like both of my sons, being a Marine is worth all of the BS. They take great pride in it.
For most people, it's not worth it.

I loved the idea of being in the military. I wouldn't mind going through all the bullshit to become a Marine. I do have alot more pride in myself just saying I served.

I know i'll get payed more as a civilian but to me with all the benefits I feel that being a Marine would still be worth it at the end of the day.

Lol, you're fueling the machine either way. Sure, go take the lives of indoctrinated fools to defend your indoctrination. But hey you're protecting my freedom and its totally not about oil and religion, right?

>college
>in about 6 or 7 years you'll get your PhD
>you might teach or go to investigation if stem
>otherwise you'll find a well paid job if you have a real degree, not some shit like gender studies.
>find a girl and start a family with her

>marines
>badass incarnate
>every girl would like to fuck with you when you're off duty
>pays well
>get to see the world
>fight for your homeland
>fight for the God Emperor.

Your choice OP. Both are great choices, choose the one that suits your needs. But since you're poor it's gonna be hard to pay for college. Think well OP

>I wouldn't mind going through all the bullshit to become a Marine
Sounds like a good idea for you then. I was a Navy guy, and I also have a great deal of pride in my service. I learned much more tech much faster in the service than I did in the civilian world. It has also given me a "presence" around other people that is very useful as you get older and become a manager.

>>18097690
You do realize that the military no longer is about supporting the us constitution, but further elite individuals agenda right? You will be a paid tool, nothing more

You're lucky. Air Force will suck the life out of you, everyone is always trying to beat out everyone else no real camaraderie. Wish I'd done The marines. Real deployments (where the money is) good friends and a reasonable fashion to attaining rank

>>18097823
Your rhetoric needs work.

>fight for the God Emperor.
now im definitely signing up when i get my braces off. (That's right, I prefer to serve with a good smile.)

>>18097825
See the Marine part sounds more appealing, but the the college would sound better to a 30 year old me.
>>18097823
>>18097857
I didn't care about this when I joined the Air Force
>>18097829
That sounds great, Honestly gaining a more of a presence would be great for me
>>18097912
I started to notice this while I was in. People were acting so cut throat with each other when it came to promotions. Like everyone is ready to throw you under the bus just to make themselves look better.

Would love any other input

Muhreen combat vet here.

Only join the Marines if you want to be in the infantry or want to be a raider for some reason

For all other things join another branch.

We had a couple of data guys at the company outpost in afghan. After they set shit up they became general laborers. At least we got to shoot at people.

>>18098767
Comm guys dont just keep doing comm? They just big hoes and shit after? Damn Yeah I'd rather just kill people. And I know a recruiter would try to place me with a Comm MOS

>>18098779
dig holes*

>>18098767
Data guys are wimps. At least doing general labor gets them off their ass.

>>18097690
When were you in Medhold OP?
CQ housing was based af the TIs werent even dicks in there.
Its just the fact that we are doing....nothing.... but.... eating... and twirling them keys. I got to leave on colombus day 2015. To this day best day of my life. The military is fucked. Go to college get a useful degree in something youre good at. Or go be a cop if you want to serve your country (read community, it matters more) in an actually effective manner.

July-Dec 2016. I mean like I said I didn't have a terrible experience, we had a lot of fun using paper clips and coat hangers to get TV up in the dorms. CQ housing was lit, but the CQ housing lesbo squat was the best.
>>18099037
Sounds great either way
