Should I enlist in the marines? I want to develop a skill for free that can be used outside the military that pays well, that way I don't have to go to college. I will also be hired more likely because of being a veteran. But at the same time I kinda want to just work some $15 an hour job and just live life and smoke weed and not worry about anything and skate. I don't know if I should just go out and have fun or start my life and career when I graduate this year. If anyone can give me some advice thate be great. Especially if you've gone through similar experiences.

Do it. I did and I go to bootcamp on Sunday.

Yeah the only useful thing I can think of when it comes to this job is probably the manhours/OJT logged on ASM. As well as the quals (2M, 62C, NDI, AirSpeed). That's really the only thing I got going for me, is pretty much the quals.
>>
You can pick what you do in the navy, and get better training. I personally recommend aviation.

Keeping it short tldr

Join Air Force or dont join at all, Navy fag here

What skill do you think the Jarheaded cannon fodder are going to teach you? Advanced Embassy Guarding? Go Air Force if you have the scores, Navy if you don't. They'll get you to blue collar prince status if you're serious.

Same here, ns mayport

Lol I hope you get to catch many many shiny bullets Anon. Join the Marines, you'll do great!
>>
>>745110732

Haha Florida fucking sucks.
>>
If you're not retarded, air traffic control in the air force gives you great pay both in and out and the military background is extremely helpful when going to civilian ATC
>>
>>745109811
Bum around for a while, maybe travel, I wish I did.
If you do want a skill, I'd get into a trade, I'm an apprentice electrician myself and would recommend it over military any day
>>
>>745110837
Pretty sure Marines have ATC as well. Actually I think any branch involving Aviation does. And from what I hear in Beaufort it's not that bad.

Well shipmates I think we just made a sailor. Btw lie your ass off in the recruiting office, meps, and the moment of truth holds no amnesty

One thing I can say is, DO start your life immediately. Don't fuck around with your friends and chill after graduation, you'll just get busted for drugs or underage drinking/DUI, or knock up some bitch and it will dramatically narrow your positive options.
>>
>>745110567
I'm leaving Monday. What RSS are you and which base are you going to
>>
>Should I enlist in the marines?

No
But seriously, any branch except reserves is better than the marines. Atleast in the army you can choose your job and not be stuck as some cook's helper on base for 4 years

If your school has a JROTC program ask the instructors there

If not talk to a recruiter (and fact check literally everything they tell you, especially regarding sign-on bonuses)

Or just take the ASVAB and see if they'll even let you get a job that can be applied In civilian life
>>
Navy AECF leaving here in a couple months. Im stoked. Fast track to E-4, fairly chill job, no meat heads, probability of scoring 100k/year job after enlistment is pretty dang high.
>>
If you wanna be a MAHREEN, yes, go for it
If you don't wanna get shot at, score high on your ASVAB and join the chair force
>>
>>745111065
Buttfuck Academy, you?
>>
>>745111108
You can choose your job in every branch including coast guard. Army just advertises it because you pick it the day you swear in; whereas, everyone else does it later on
>>
>>745109811
Join.
>Become self-disciplined
>Free top-tier exercise regiments
>Get college paid for if you ever change your mind
>Be pushed to the top of the hiring list
>Get ego stroked constantly by other men and literally stroked by women, though don't fall for the benefits whores, wear a condom always and pump-and-dump
>Study before enlisting to get non-grunt job
>Get pension, albeit small, adds up when you score a job
>If you know a female that you REALLY REALLY REALLY trust, get married with her through the court and sign a prenup/no-fault clause added, that way you are much less likely to be sent into combat zones, get better benefits, you're helping someone else get good benefits, and you're pretty much golden with the "I only date married men" whores
Then you can spend the rest of your life in a better paying job and skating and chilling.

>>745111206
Haha you suh fuhnny. So uhriginal. Haha

Never said you couldn't friend

Though I guess I did imply it pretty heavily there

Fucking army recruiter I talked to told me that if I go Air Force, I'd end up as a cook or some shit like that. I knew that was bullshit.
>>
>>745111339
>Top tier exercise regimen

Spotted the non military fag.
>>
>>745109811
It's not a bad Idea, plus they'll pay for college if you eventually want to go.
>>
>>745111134
Have fun when they choose for you between FC and ET while spending fucking forever in Great Mistakes

I have worked from shit such as fucking engines and rotor blades, to fucking with dealing with RT's and fucking RTCASS. To dealing with ILevel ordnance on Talley's and guns. To making fucking CDI's.Ive been through the fucking worst
>Yuma,Pendleton,Okinawa,Cherry Point
And now just got fucking orders to a fucking dumb fuck I&I in fucking NOLA. I've done so much fucking qualifications because of the shit I've done. That's just work CDI/QAR quals btw. I have fucking hella fucking shit I'm qualed in, whether it be from welding, microminiature, battery school, paint school, as mentioned by some other fucking retard AIRSPEED. (SSBB btw), and have worked with the largest fucking NAVY IMRL fucking located in Lakehurst. I've dealt easily in my lifetime close to half a billion worth of shitz and still going. I have so much to look forward to. I can go the Program Manager route for IMRL and make 70-100k or go TechRep in AVI for 50-80k. Or go for Six Sigma Belt training instructors which are the same amount. Or better yet just a solder tech, welding tech or even ASEMIO. Don't let these fucking retards fool you. Sure Navy is great, but even AE,AD,AT,AO,AM,AS's fucking knew I was over them. It's just your choice to fucking pass that ASVAB with a high score to do all this shit.
>>
>>745111631
That's all army does. They just try to bribe you with a bunch of bullshit. If you want to join for the benefits then do air force. If you want to join for the experience, do Navy. If you want to join to support your country, do Marines. just do not do the fucking army

Yeah man, im hoping ET but we'll see. The year + in great lakes is going to suck ass I hear. Have you been? Is there any chilll times and is the school difficult?
>>
Pop a tab of lsd and spend the day really contemplating looking at it from every possible angle, ask yourself what you really like and what makes you happy man, don't go for something just because money, at the end of the day money won't make up for the unhappy years you lived lost

I'm all for bantz but your not kicking someone while they're down, you're beating someone who's never gotten up

It says right there that it's part of the military, you stupid fuck. Kill yourself and send it to your parents with a note explaining how they fucked up by getting divorced when you were so young

Yeah, that's what I hear. Thanks for the reply man, I'm excited to get into the Navy life but fuck that winter boot camp is going to suck ass.

RSS San Mateo to San Diego. You? And you know it starts Monday, we leave Sunday.

If you can handle the name-calling above, Coast Guard might be a decent fit for you if you want a chill job OK. Not in myself but I've spoken with more than a few, spent a good amount of time In CG bases

>basically police force 2.0, saltwater edition

>nobody fucking joins so everyone has a basic knowledge of everyone else's job and you just do whats needed

>only actually called maybe twice a month to fish retarded drowning immigrants out of the ocean

>everyone has a shit ton of free time and decent gyms on base so 9/10 coasties just fucking lift 20/7 and do maintenance on boats for the other 4 hours
>>
>>745112619
I went Jan 5, snowed everyday and barely saw the sun. Had to wear full winter gear the entire time. Bootcamp is really easy as long as you follow instructions and know how to do things quickly

Pick hull tech in the navy, go to weld school, get out with security clearance and weld for any company that pays the most. can easily get 35+ an hour.
