So, recently been evaluating life, been exploring, going to different states working different jobs, finding myself. I know I sound like a hippy faggot but i'm not. Originally grew up in Texas, completed highschool with high GPA, and was a AP scholar. Knew college was not for me, spent some time as a contractor, doing different jobs construction wise. Now i'm here, thinking about what I need to do with my life, and something that has always been in the back of my mind is being a Private mil contractor, they make good money (so i've heard), get to go different places, shoot stuff the fuck up, and make good connections. Now there's really only one way to accomplish this goal, and that is going into the military. Have a uncle in the marines, he's pretty high up in the ranks, and can get me any MOS I want for the most part, not to mention I took my PICAT and got a 75, which also means I qualify for just about any job I want. I've considered Recon, because obviously that is the Marines version of Special Forces, and being in with them will put the security clearance and training on my resume if I did decide to goto Triple Canopy or Blackwater or some other contracting company. Is this the route to go /k/? Please no shitposters, hoping to get some legitamate knowledge and advice from a former or current mil. Thanks in advance.
I hope that rifle is a Glock or it won't even shoot
Really, no mil guys that could shed some light?

This is a slow board. You might not get a decent reply for hours.

I've heard that line before while in the AF (they were wrong).

It's not like he's manipulating anything, I qualify for most things, intellectually and physically, all it involves is him talking to friends he has.

I don't think most guys involved in stuff lile that have time to be on 4chan dude. Nor would they give two shits about this site.

For someone that thinks he is very smart you sure don't know how to divide a text up and make it more readable.

I'm sorry I didn't accomodate your illiterate ass more on a fucking forum. My apologies, faggot.

And that is what the person in my technical training told me would happen with her father, he'd pull strings to keep her from washing out.
>she still washed out without getting any special consideration

Rude. You're the one asking for help OP.
