Hey /k/, I've seen some of the enlistment general threads and I was hoping some of you AD or retired guys could offer me some advice.

So I just graduated highschool, I'm 18 so inb4 underage, and I'm looking to start my career in the armed forces.

Right now I'm leaning towards either Navy or Marine Corps. I think I'm fit for both Navy special warfare and MARSOC, but I just can't decide. And before you go assuming shit, I'm 5'9" 180lbs. My 1.5 mile time is 10:46, max push ups is 48, max sit ups is 68, so I'm good enough for any unit.

My biggest dilemma is officer or enlisted. Obviously officers are better and make more money and live more comfortably, but enlisted do more operational tasks. I can do both, but if you were in my shoes, what would you do?

Be like this cool guy. He put in the hard work. He works for a living. You want to work for a living, don't you?

If I as an enlistedfag can suffer, everyone else should suffer alongside me.

Officer is probably a better career path, enlisted might be more interesting if you're planning on doing one deployment and bailing.

It all depends on how much you enjoy the suck.

100% of marines are complete niggers, in a shocking twist of fate compared to literally every other country, the USN appears to be, from my admittedly limited experience, full of fairly normal and likeable people who are decent at their jobs and decent human beings to boot

Go Navy, and go Officer because officers make more.

Some people will raise a stink about how officers are stuffy and mean and hoity-toity and think they're better than others and all that, but in the real work environment, you'll be just like any other middle manager. Take an interest in NCM stuff and learn the trades you're overseeing and be friendly and sociable and willing to catch a beer after work, and people will like you. Be a stereotypical officer who thinks anyone without bars and loops (including the well-salted POs and Warrants or even Master Seamen (or w/e the equivalent is in the US)) is beneath them even though you're just an acting subbie, and you'll be hated. honestly, being a stuffy officer is no better than being an NCM who thinks they're an action hero just because they're NCM.

>but enlisted do more operational tasks
Yes, like Cleaning Stations and
officers go to operating theatres and do operator stuff all the time. especially naval officers.

>>
>>34483958
You don't meet the requirements for Officer - 4 year degree. So if you really want to make the military a career as an Officer - take college courses (they offer them on base) (you can CLEP a lot of them) and get a 2 year degree to meet minimum requirement for them to send you to Officer Candidate School where upon graduation you have so many years to get that 4 year degree.
Your lack of education means if you want to join right now your only choice is enlisted.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

Do you want a career? Go officer.

Always think "career" even if you aren't sure because that's always the smart path with a way forward.

Forget all you illusions about anything and get with people currently doing the jobs you are considering, and think carefully about what you consider. You aren't even a boot yet so have nofuckingattitude and keep your eyes, ears and mind open.

If you think your shit doesn't stink and piss people off they can wreck your career and you'll never know what hit you or where it came from. They don't need to outrank you to make it happen. However smart you think you are, someone or multiple someones can figure out how to end you with a paper trail.

If you are a maggot you'll torture others but they'll have even bigger fun fucking with your life. If you are an adult professional and learn to lead then you'll rightly be valued.

Start humble or humility will be installed without your consent.

Spent 9 months on the USS Iwo Jima during Desert Storm in a USMC Helicopter Squadron. The Navy Personnel were a bunch of fuckups. Everything was broken.

Most of the Chiefs were manlet Philippineo's who no one could understand, trying to get citizenship.
The Officers were a bunch of stuck up douchebags, who never left the few areas of the ship that actually Had Air Conditioning

it all comes down to your asfab and if your not white or a female(now including men born with a benis, but have decided you "feel" your a woman).

if your asfab is high go for whatever. enlisted you will be treated like a retard publicly and not be capable of responsibility and JO's get treated like retards behind closed doors, yet are put in charge of senior enlisted and held accountable. if you not white or you happen to be the most fit "woman***" to sign go to any branch you want. they are seriously taking whatever they can get that's "ethinic"

thats just ship life, things break and you cant exactly call a contractor to fix it. also the trick is to say "fuck you" and let the shower run when youre far enough out to make water, or to get a kettle and sponge-bathe
>They did nothing but paint shit grey so you can't see the rust.
idk what the yankees use for paint and rustproofing but here in canadia that is also very typical, and the paint itself is the rustproofing/rust treatment. unless it's a moving or structural part rust literally does not matter

>The water had a rainbow in it and tasted funny.
thats not okay. your ship's engineers sucked then.

>Half the Seamen (LOL) were Gay...
i feel as though demographic issues like this are ship-specific, and now that i think about it im the only gay sailor i know

>Most of the Chiefs were manlet Philippineo's who no one could understand, trying to get citizenship.
again, thats weird but probably ship-specific. ship culture is very self-reinforcing since people who like it get good reviews but also try to get back on that ship, while people who dont fit in so good leave and never look at the ship again

>The Officers were a bunch of stuck up douchebags, who never left the few areas of the ship that actually Had Air Conditioning
typical middle management behaviour in any organization. in my experience, officers are either stuck-up gutter trash because they scored high on a test designed for retards, or they're total bros who are the life of the party and always bring the beer, but with no inbetween of just boring normies. theyre either total shit who are like op but not even shitposting and are actually just like that, or are true bros 4 lyf who look out for everyone regardless of department or rank

Faggot, you're lacking. Work out more. Go Marine Corps you fucking pussy.

This is the only way I know of to where you won't be sent to where the Corps needs you if you can't hack it. It's a good backup plan to have because literally anything could happen to you and you definitely don't want to be a REMF.

He could probably try out/volunteer for MART while In SOI, if he makes it he could probably start a gig there and ride it out until his first 4 years are up and reenlist for 5 more to try out for MARSOC as a Lance or NCO, or stay with Recon and move up to the Force Recon Companies if he doesn't like being a Batt Boy.

If you wanna kick doors and shoot guns go enlisted. These days PLs and captains are the only officers that see combat and even then it's not their job to get decisively engaged. I know cause I'm an rto whose unit is going to Afghanistan at the end of summer

>>34484093
Oh God I could already see you being that butt hurt NCO or LT who doesn't get his way and makes his subordinates dwell in his entitled shit attitude. Your the reason the military sucks. Just do yourself a favor and join the Marine Corps and go be hooah. And learn to take more shit.

Cool thing though, im assuming you don't know shit about commissioning, but the Marine Corps officers are commissioned through the Navy.

As for advice, I'd do officer. NROTC, you can literally get any job, including combat related, as an officer and you get more pay. If you decide to retire you'll still have a degree and then you can live the rest of your life doing a nice cushy Federal civilian job while getting your pension and TSP.

You're young and apparently uninformed on how the military is killing more civilians than ISIS is at the moment. There is no good reason to join a group that murders people overtly or covertly.

Seriously dude, there is no such thing as terrorism besides what militaries around the world contribute to.

Check into the PLC program for the Marines. Enlist right out of High School. Bootcamp, MOS school, and active duty during the summers and attend college during the school year. Graduate college and go to OCS or serve 2 more years as a reservist or re-enlist.

Gives you a chance to verify if you want to stay enlisted, go to OCS, or opt out and go reservist.

The officer corps is all about politics and being a "yes man", once you make field grade, and the LT's and CPT's get treated like absolute shit by the staff's that are supposed to support them. That's why so many of our officers decide to resign their commission after their service obligation has been met, and why our senior leaders pretty much suck goat balls and support stupid shit like faggotry and women in the ranks. After all, it's not the senior leaders that have to deal with their shitty decisions, it's the NCO's and company officers that do.

The NCO corps doesn't get super political until the SGM rank, which means you can pretty much spend your entire career in a line unit doing line unit shit if you're good, because good NCO's make or break any unit, and are always in high demand.

You'll make more money as an officer, but you'll also have your soul crushed if you actually give a shit about your job. As an enlisted / NCO, you won't make as much, but you'll have a greater impact on your unit to make them better, which is very rewarding. The only problem is that you'll start to really resent the stupid senior leaders and policy makers that mismanage and abuse the units you work so hard to build and maintain.

Seeing what Obama did to our military was just soul crushing.

Regardless, if I were to do it all over, I'd go Coast Guard. They don't "practice", like the Army or Marines, as they're out their doing their job every day, be it inspection, area denial, or search and rescue.

Also Green Berets and Delta are the only real SF. Everyone else is just special infantry.

If you wanna kick doors ok, Ranger Bat needs bodies and you don't have the chance of being randomly dropped and being a cook on a Navy ship.

But as I said if you wanna do spook shit go Green Berets.

Army is also a little less autistic than Navy/MC Branch.

the best kind of leaders own up to their mistakes. Its one thing to screw up, its another to try and shift the blame onto others like a weasel. Just admit "yeah that was my bad" and see how it can be improved upon. The best officers I knew could swallow their pride, and that was like 3 of them

>>34483958
A 10.46 1.5 mile won't do shit for you if you're trying out for special forces.

I'm in the fucking airforce and I run a 9.03 with 50 p/u 50 s/u.

If you're not running mid 8s you're not gonna be spec ops.

As far as going in enlisted or officer? It can't hurt to apply for the one where you get better pay, better benefits, and get treated like a person.

Nothing wrong with working for a living though.

Just stay on track and take advantage of the opportunities afforded to you. This time last year I had no idea I'd be doing what I'll be doing in a month and a half, it just kind of fell into my lap. But I've had to stay on target.

troll thread. your pfa scores are fucking garbage. Im at 9:03 mile and a half, 70 pushups, 103 situps last cycle and that wasnt even that great compared to other dudes in the subforce.
Your scores are bare minimum to get the contract, drop out of A-school because of being out of shape, and get sent undes to chip paint.
Dont bother unless youre full high outstanding, im helping you out right now. Youre gonna have to slim down from beefman to lean mass.

well 18 year old. I am a former enlisted. Here is some advice; Dont live in a realm of pretend. Your life revolves around your spending power, which enables you to enjoy tasks outside of your work. Officers rake in as much money for housing allowance as a fucking E-3 at at O-3, so pontificate on that. I hung out with a few officers who knew damn well they were only doing the military life for the minimum contract, and lived as such, with 3 guys to a house raking in those sweet warbux.

You wanna deploy, be rickey rescue, a real action hank? Officers make their own jobs to an extent if they arent pilots, etc. Find out who does interrogations, go from there.

While you are in get every scrap of education and certification you can.

Fuck off, degenerate. I am not only better than your average soldier. I am capable of taking out multiple people at once in a fight. I have actually even been talked to by a Nay SEAL recruiter. He said that I all i have to do is go through boot and once I get through that shit I will be assigned to a SEAL unit. So yeah, not your average soldier.

I was in similar situation as you OP. I ended up just doing 4 years enlisted to see if I like it, got out went to college and joined ROTC. Pretty happy with my choices starting MS2 this fall (ya I know I could have skipped the first two years but I'm doing them any way)
The only thing that sucks is that the other cadets make me want to blow my fucking brains out on the regular

1. Join as an officer.
2. Join the Air Force.
2a. Failing that, join the Navy.
3. Failing all of that, get really good at running. A 10 mile death run because somebody killed a hooker is a lot less punishing to the guy can run a 16 minute 3 mile than the guy who can only run a 20 minute 3 mile.
