Yeah do it op it's Worth

>>738687619
Be smart, go air force.
I regret every minute I spent in the marines. I can never feel like a regular person again. Always being held to a higher standard than others. It's a stressful life. Go to college, go study something and be useful. The military is stupid. Go be happy. I'm trying.

>>738688028
i was going to be a doctor but i got a 2.8 my first semester and failed all 4 classes my second even tho i did super well in high school. i was just kinda going through some shit but idk i dont wanna risk wasting all that time and money on school and then not get accepted to a medical school

and why is the air force better? just easier?

>>738687785
yeah but i hate the government and all the good they tell us the military does for us even tho its just to protect their interests, but i figure i really dont give a shit about killing some terrorists and idk if i wanna go to college anymore

>>738688732
any tips for not being totally miserable? i mean i was in college anyway so its whatever

and is there any way possible that you can think of that i can go to camp pendleton for boot instead of parris island even tho im from pennsylvania

>>738688241
Generally skills learnt in the air force translate better into civilian life. And it's easier.

>>738688767
>proving anon is correct

>>738689171
You'd have to change your permanent address to the west coast somehow. I'm prior enlisted, went through Paris Island myself, really not that bad. You're in college though, why not pursue the officer route? As for not being miserable, it's cliche but you need to "embrace the suck". There are some shitty times as a Marine but if you work hard in the right direction I promise you it's worth it. You need to avoid other toxic Marines in the process though.

>>738687619
>>738689171
You sound like a complete moron. You'll fit right in.

>>738689614
yeah thanks a lot, and ill look into being an officer but im not sure i wanna finish school. idk

also what are the chances ill be deployed my first 4 years as a marine even tho we arent at war currently? id like to at least have one deployment and possibly even try to become a raider when i can but idk thats a long ways away

>>738687619
study for the asvab and go for navy or try to get cyber security or intel in the army. being a pog is alot more chill then being a combat mos.

take my advice dude. 8 years 12b in the army

>>738687619
Do it. It'll be good for you. Don't be a pussy.

>>738689878
Well there are a lot of factors that go into that but it's mostly going to come down to your MOS. You may be in for four years and never deploy or you might deploy frequently. Honestly though a war in Syria or N Korea are on the radar so there's that. Not sure how far a long you are but I hope you finish school at some point.

>>738690022
i never really got into swimming, any chance i could train to be a seal realistically or is it just not even worth it

and dont i only have to be in 4 years or am i retarded

>>738690253
You can do four and get out.

>>738690248
thanks a lot for the help

and do you know of certain mos's that deply more frequently or no

They wouldn't take me in the army. Overweight by like 20 pounds.

I'm not in shape, but holy shit, I towered over the chubby fuck that I was talking to in the recruiter station

>>738690253
And to be a SEAL...damn dude, that's another level. Your dedication needs to be through the roof. >>738690253

>>738687619
Whatever branch you join make sure you get into a technical field that gives you skills to transition directly into a job when you get out. Never tell anyone you plan on getting out, and stay on peoples good side so you can go to every school applicable to your job.

If you don't want to be miserable consider another branch that's more active during peace time like AF naby or coasties. You also probably won't get shot if we go to war.

>>738690329
Combat related MOS are more likely but again it comes down to other factors such as your unit. If you really want to do this most let a recruiter know so they can direct you.

>>738687619
>asking if it's dumb to become a government puppet

BUDS is brutal man. As for the idea of getting a specific MOS to relate to the civilian world, if you become an officer in the Marines you won't have to worry about that. You'll hold multiple billets and have an outstanding resume (assuming you apply yourself).

what are the odds of getting intel?
i got the IQ/asvab and intel sounds somewhat interesting but id be really fucking upset if i have to spend the next 4 years getting my ears blown out as an artilleryman or something

>>738690937

>>738690699
>i know its retarded and im not doing anythiung that deserves respect but fuck college i fuckerd myself and cant go to medical shcool now

I fucked up in college and joined the Navy, its not the end of the world. Just choose a rate that advances relatively fast. If you were good in high school you will be smart enough to ace the advancement tests, you just have to put some work into it to get the evals to make rank fast. I really only regret not joining right out of high school. As gay as it sounds I gained some self discipline working here.

>>738687619
Meh. It's fine. I went in, did my time, left. Just don't buy into the "Marines are gods" BS and you'll be fine.

you have a better chance of getting a deployment and into combat in the army, marines dont really have the funding to be sending people out unless really needed

>>738691021
for marines that is very tricky as you dont get to pick your job. but in the army if you get 80+ on the asvab you are good to go. i had a GT score of 136 but my recruiter fucked me by saying combat engineer was a good mos.

Talk to a recruiter, and tell them this. Most offices have groups of hopefuls like you that are training before they get sent to basic training. Some of them have a regional coordinator, local vets, or contacts from SF programs to help out, or could at least talk to you about it.

>>738691389

In 2004 I was in Kuwait, fob wolverine?, sitting in a chow hall with my battle. We hadn't gone to Iraq yet and we were sitting at a table with two marines who just came back from Iraq. I was army and I talked to one marine and asked what he did. Like job wise(MOS). Very sharply he replied "I killed!" And that was the end of it. Had a lasting impression on me. Like they get brainwashed hardcore. I was a combat engineer and saw stuff and did things, but not as a robot. I'm not a robot.

coast guard would be a better choice.
think about that for a moment

>>738691760
>do you know how old i have to be to realistically have a shot at becoming sf

Army doesn't take people for sf right away like the other poster said. Your best bet is rangers or another branch for sf.

>>738691921
sounds boring af

>>738691626
they will build you up, it all comes down to never giving up, read the rangers creed and live by it they get a boner from that

>>738687619
Any reasoning behind it? Because if its just for the money or a free place to stay, go Chair Force.

>>738691969
i cant go marines for sf since you need to be a certain rank, not sure if i can go navy cause i never really got into swimming (not sure if this is actually an issue but i assume it is), but people online say as of this year, the rate of new people m,aking it past SF selection doubled to 50% but idk

>>738692090
i want something that isnt boring, gruesome shit doesnt phase me, i dont wanna be behind a desk all day or washing a boat or something

>>738687619
Depends on what you want to do with your life. If you want to be a cop, the vast majority of them were former marines. You could be some type of mercenary or private security and get paid well for it also.

Also, some people have a primitive type of bloodlust left over from the early primate days. The desire to slaughter the chimp pack on the other side of the hill.

Some men with high levels of testosterone have warriors instinct and there are few modern careers that scratch that itch outside of military.

Yes, there's a chance of getting killed and maimed in battle, but some men love that shit. Nothing gets them high quite like a tour of duty. And some men hate it.

If you're against the middle eastern wars, you have no business joining any branch of the military.

And if you hate the classroom but really want to get into a technical field (and you have decent intelligence), a stint in Navy or Air Force is often seen as equivalent to a degree in whatever you did, and the civilian version of those jobs usually pay pretty well.

That and being able to retire with full pension in 20 years pretty much sets you up for life. The rest of your life is guaranteed to be good.

So Marines is worth it but I don't wanna do army cause its too low, the downsides of Marines is just not getting to do anything or seeing action even when going into infantry?

>>738687619
No more dumb than it always is. Joining the Marines is always a dumb choice. That's why only dumb people do it.

>>738691969
My bet is, the guy you replied to is either underage or baiting hard.
Even keked a little at him asking to join seals with 18.

One of my girlfriends is currently a MP in the USMC. She spent a year in Japan and says they would just get drunk as fuck and do nothing. Shes currently at Camp Lejune and now bitches constantly about how she hates it.

>>738692185
yeah i wanna be in combat, thats why SF /SEALs appealed so much to me but im not a big swimmer so i figure seals is probably unrealistic

>>738692371
Are you in shape? Kinda matters

I liked it......

but if you enlist......and you're having second thoughts......

You'll hate it. I'm sure of it.

If you don't take to water like a fish then the Seals aren't for you.

>>738692443
skinnier but yeah, and im working out most days, but i dont swim, not that im unable to, but i never actually like properly swam or whatever, never was on a swim team or anything so idk if seals is feasible or not, do they train you before buds or are you fucked if you arent already a strong swimmer? and idk if i wanna hold my breath for a minute tbh sounds aids af

>>738687619
You should serve your county anon. I'm joining as soon as I get my GED.

>>738687619
Here's my opinion. I'm a former Marine and Former Army and now career Air Force.
Marine boot camp is to mentally break you down and rebuild you into a fighter. And that's really litteral. You get brainwashed from all your priorities in life, future, and personal well being to commit yourself fully for whatever orders are given to you. "Go fill sandbags" why? "don't fucking talk back!" When you get out, its basically a brand. You can't change a tire on a car? You were a marine, you should know how to! Can't run 3 miles in under 16 minutes? You were a marine! You should be able to! And if you go to war, you will NEVER know why you were there or will ever figure out the big picture until its too late. Higher ups will never tell you anything, you basically become a patriotic slave.

Army: its like the lighter version of a Marine. The main difference is the job you learn is transferable to civilian life. The mentality and atmosphere you'll encounter is every mistake you make or if someone makes a mistake, everyone will get yelled at. Corporal punishment is alive and well in the Army. You will work out til you drop. Its like being in bootcamp for 4 years. Jobs are cooler, but have to suffer for years.

Navy: Lots of fucking on boats is all I know. Expect that 1 female to have sex with 20 guys per night. Might catch a STD. I don't know, that's all I hear about with the Navy. Its all sex.

Air Force: You do not fight. College atmosphere. You can talk to officers like they were your friend. Jobs are extremely transferable. They also tell you EVERYTHING. Its important that you know the big picture. If you're driving a truck, you better know there's a fucking nuke in it and where it's going and who's it going to. They tell you personally all of that. They treat you with respect and treat you like an adult. If you mess up, you don't end up scrubbing a toilet for 5 days straight. You get written up and told that you're adult.

>>738687619

You could've just googled it. Seals requirements are not that hard, its the training afterwards. Most people would be able to pass this tests.

Go officer. Money is better. Way better. Also, if you go Air Force, try to be a pilot. The world spins around them, cause they're the stars.

>>738692649
yeah i know how hard marine boot camp is, that doesnt phase me tbh. i know what to expect. my ultime goal would be army special forces but idk if thats actually feasible, i guess i could maybe just train before deploying, i need time for the THC to get out of my system anyway lol

>>738692902
yeah i know those are the intial requirements but that doesnt mean ill be ready to swim miles at buds while being sleep deprived and fatigued af, plus i have good stamina but i have like no swimming technique so im not sure if i alrady need that going in or if they can train me

If you want to do it, do it but go in with a plan don't just hold a rifle for 4 years. Pick a career field that transfers over to civilian life and let them train you in it. Also make sure your going to be guaranteed a spot In that field, even if you have to wait a while for entry.

>>738693654
proves literally nothing, this system, governemnt, and military is a joke but i get to kill some arabs so whatever i guess

based on your answers in this thread you probably wouldn't survive in Marine training, certainly not seal, just do what one anon said and go airforce and get into intel, you clearly just want the fast pass to money and the easiest path, those will get you there.

>>738687619
You'll be joined by Obamas transgender freaks, yelled at by pc drill instructors who can't touch you, and then be used like a tool for the elites regime change experiments in the middle east.

>>738693082

The combat side stroke is pretty easy. You can get it down well in a few days swimming laps at the pool, and it will really help you having some practice before hand. You should be concerned about being able to clear your ears and freaking out underwater, either of those will get you sent to another job.

Don't join any other branch it's not worth it. People love Marines and Marines always take care of each other.

>>738692971
Its not just boot camp, over the 4 years I was active, I got sent to a lot of "working parties" cleaning connex boxes in the rain, sweeping sand off concrete, mowing lawns and painting rocks and doors. But the only good side was training and actual deployments. But you still do end up doing shit details even in war time. Someone has to poor kerosine in the shit buckets, there's no running water in most FOBs.
I highly suggest you think long term future too. When I got in the Marines, they talked me out of a $5000 sign on bonus, a $1000 G.I. bill which could've given me free college and $6000 per semester when I used the GI bill. Also talked me out of a $10,000 critical MOS. So when I learned about all that 3 years into my contract, I was pissed. So yeah, recruiters only want your warm soft body, and when you hit 30 years old, you're a liability. Just becareful what you choose to do, and think ahead, because when you're 50, you're not going to be able to carry a 75lbs back pack.

Side note since we are on the subject of the military, how do I get laid before shipping to basic? I wanna feel the touch of a woman one more time before I go

>he thinks MSU is a legitimate university
good for you anon.

>>738694307
go to a club you fucking imbecile and if you're not ugly and retarded you'll get laid

or get a hooker

>>738694384
I'm not ugly, but I'd argue that I'm slightly retarded socially hence why I go on /b/

>>738694304
I feel sorry you've never had the privilege to work around military personnel.

>>738693299
Make sure you go to the education office as soon as you can. ALL the education you put in applies to your pension. Yes, ALL OF IT. Got a Associates in cooking? +75 points, got a Masters in chemistry? +200 points and a promotion, and a recommendation to better job.
When you finish boot camp (lots of sex will be involved since you'll be in dorms, enjoy it, oh god I want to go back), apply for all the formal schools and volunteer for everything you can. The more schooling you attend in the Air Force, the better the job you'll get when you get out everthing is paid for. Hell you could be working for Google or Microsoft, or the CDC when you get out. It pads your resume like crazy.
Other branches can't do that.

>>738694450
I'm sorry that I'm cut out for better things than slinging a rifle around with sisterfucking rednecks.

Damn I pulled some nice quads

>>738694475
wait ill be around girl marines too or no? i was under the impression i wouldnt be for some reason, i pulled fucking tail freshman year of college

>>738693392
I mean if you don't mind being a brainwashed beta welfare queen who risks his life for the corporate hegemony then go for it I guess. Just don't expect sensible people to respect you for it.

Well if you like how dick tastes, and we're picked on alot in highschool, then golden!

If you want to serve without being a collosal faggot then just join the army.

>>738694676
what other options do i have

>>738694734
Go back to college and get a real career going.

>>738694732
whats the actual day to day difference, thats what im not totally getting i think

i would like to have at least one deployment

>>738693835
I got news for you. High School GPA doesn't mean shit in College because it resets to 3.0 when you get accepted.

>>738694792
but i cant do medicine right? even if i got a 3.6 or something the rest of my years? just dont wanna waste my time and money

>>738693986
It's true. Most people join the military to identify as military. When I got back from Afghanistan I thought my friends back home would think I was hot shit. Very wrong, wound up alienating them. Now I only have military friends and work friends. I'm at a true lose for identity now that I'm out. I genuinely feel like I'm dead inside. Just memes,alcohol and 4chan. I work out have a wife, kids, home, great job. I'm just wandering around in a skin suit. Life truly is meaningless. Everyone around is trying to do the same thing, create some kind of purpose to dredge through the years. I'm happy and also hollowed out. Killing myself is retarded too. Just do something kid. Marines aren't going to carry you out of the madness that we call life. Just be happy and productive.

>>738694616
Not in basic, but yeah you probably will in your unit. But joining the military is about getting laid.

You don't need to go to medical school to have a good career. The fact that you need to be spoonfed this shows just how right the military is for you.

>>738694838
Why is medical school so all-important? Are your parents stereotypical stern, disapproving Asians? Bring great shame to family?

Just get a degree in something else.

>>738687619
Don't join the Military at all.

I have friends who are marines and army and they regret it.

All 3 saw combat and their minds and fucked for the rest of their lives.

They have night terrors almost every night and are socially awkward now.

>>738694616
he is talking about the chair force dude.

As dumb as it is any other time

>>738694946

im not retarded, i know,. i figured going to the military then maybe becoming a cop might be smarter than going into insurance or whatever, which i would hate

THIS SO HARD

Not a marine, but a soldier. In the army there's a saying, "should of joined the AF".

Seriously, it's easier, and 10 years down the road you'll realize, there's no point in making your life miserable to impress strangers you'll never meet, especially when they'll be just as impressed with joining the AF

As my AF vet buddy says "why'd I join USAF? Because I scored high enough to have options!"

>>738695044
That's my life.

>>738695110
>going to the military
>then maybe becoming a cop
Forget what I said about a good career. Just join the military.

sup zach

>>738695044
my mind wont be fucked im a sociopath, just saying. so thats not a worry of mine. i just want to do something, im so fucking bored now that im off drugs

>>738688732
USMC Colonel here. Get the fuck back to the shower sonny boy. I'm not done with your sweet tight ass yet.

>>738694307
They actually put you in a hotel the night before you get to boot camp. And in the hotel are other teens with the same mentality as you. Not all of them are 10/10 hot chicks, but they'll suck you 3 times over before the night's over.

>>738695127
I know people that thought like you did,
They joined the AF and wound up doing mundane shit like loading ammo into planes and cleaning toilets.

>>738687619
>Joining the military in 2017

consider this:

The only good press coverage Trump ever got
was when he fired a ton of missiles at Syria.

What do you think the future holds for our military
if things keep getting worse for him??

>>738695044
You don't have to join infantry. My father was in the military for 20 years and never saw combat, even when he was down range.

chair force here AMA about my fucking chill life

>>738695175

>>738694616
This is only in the Air Force.

USMC Brigadier General. Bwar rah rah you rhaw wah fo da waaaaggghhh.

Well yeah they did that for MEPS but if you get caught you're fucked mate, how do I do this before I get sent to the Hotel?

I think you're mixing up the Marines and the Navy.

>>738694814
Oh, nevermind then, that college GPA sticks with you for life. The ONLY way for you to get it up is to redo the same classes in the same school. They get replaced if its higher or better, meaning the F grades gets replaced, not added to the average. I googled it.

>>738694902
You should think about going back as a reservist. Those 2 days out of the month really does wonders to the psyche and reliving the good ol' days.

>>738688732

Air Force don't clean toilets. They have civilians that do that. But if you're talking about emptying out the shit buckets on the plane and wiping down the C-5 bathrooms, then yeah, that's part of a bigger job, not just 1 job.

Yeah, I know. That's why I make fun of him. But the point is, he still served, it looks good on a resume, gets all the benefits, and he doesn't have to deal with the bullshit rules.

For example, pic related, he doesn't know what it's like to have to shit in a port-a-john with his weapon inside because to lose sight of it, is a date worse than death.

He still says he actually likes eating MREs because he had them like once or twice in BCT or whatever they call it.

I'm jealous. I thought I needed to prove myself to strangers when I joined, so I went army. Now that I'm confident in myself, I realize, fuck everyone else. I don't need to prove shit to anyone.

>>738696365
>do not clean toilets
>emptying shit buckets
choose one chair force wingman

>>738695431
You do it at the hotel, there are no supervisors or anyone that will rat you out. Once the recruiter dumps you in the hotel, they leave. They do have homes to go to.

Meh, I don't run anymore. Elliptical and recumbent cycling at the gym is good enough. When I got out I was 155 lbs lean from army exercise. I'm 6'1" 215 lbs. my PT is mainly push up circuits/squats/ planks and weights. I cant run as much as I used to ,but I can confidently fuck someone up. I'll think about the reserves if I get divorced lol. I appreciate your motivation. Thanks!

>>738688316
Then become a bitch. You're basically already there.

>>738695856
A bachelor's degree is a bachelor's degree. That guy that has a bachelor's degree and went to frat parties and got drunk every night that got a D average has the same degree as Doctor Tran who was valor victorian.

>>738695188
You don't know what your mind will be like you fucking pleb

How old will be too old to join? I'm interested in being an army heli pilot

War in Iraq is not as intense and we've scaled down the operations in Aghanistan and other areas like Africa. We're not likely going to war with Syria so you're fine there. If you're smart you will get a job that doesn't involve combat.

NAVYfag here, go to NAVY recruiting ofice and take the asvab to see what you score. don't join the marines, you'll just become cannon fodder when your not drawing with crayons or eating elmers glue

>>738688028
This. I was Security Forces and it sucked dick the majority of the time, but the AF is a really good branch. They take care of their people and the bases are very nice.

Go Air Force OP, thank us later.

>>738697601
Whichever floats your boat. Can't be judging in this day and age, and if you get caught judging openly and calling others faggot, you'll most likely go to court.

Enlisted army engineer here, do it, I can't speak for the USMC but I know the army engineer Corps is the best decision I've ever made the parties are absolutely outstanding and the engineer ball is one of the most amazing things I've ever been to not to mention if you know what you're doing and you keep your head straight the work isn't that hard either

You only regret the time you spent on active duty because you fucking sucked as a marine. Probably got kicked the fuck out for drugs or some other fuckshit retarded reason even a 10 year old knows better than doing.
