Couple of reminders to start this thread off:

>Your recruiter will lie to you. Have the balls to tell them "no" when they put the pressure on you. This is a very important lesson to learn early on -- it will save you from developing addictions to alcohol and cigarettes.
>Do not go infantry during peacetime.
>Do not base your branch/job choice off of what you think others will think. The military is one big cycle of being shit on by others. Do something YOU see yourself enjoying for at least 4 years.
>Get everything in writing. Everything.

How hard is life going to be? What kind of inane bullshit is in store?

>"Oh my god, did you hear what Cara said? Holy shit I hate that bitch."

Good luck. It's literally high school when working with women. If they fought as well as they ran their mouths, we'd have conquered the world years ago.

>>35139720

There's only ever as much drama as you let there be. I've had no problems with any of the females in my current unit, but I also don't try to fuck coworkers.

Best squad leader I ever had is a chick. Shit soldiers are shit soldiers regardless of what is between their legs, good soldiers are good soldiers regardless of what is between their legs.

>>35139730
>"Oh my god, did you hear what Cara said? Holy shit I hate that bitch."
Even worse when the person saying that is a female NCO talking about a junior enlisted female. When you realize this is supposed to be your unit's leadership. They are all essentially the same rank in practice.

>>35139680
What if my recruiter didn't lie to me but I still want to be an alcoholic fag chaining degenerate.

Also do I need my guaranteed A School to be in writing, he gave me a date but I still haven't seen any literature for it (it's an undermanned rate that most people get A School for anyways) maybe that's just something I see later on cuz I'm still 2 months off from bootcamp.

>>35139730

>Implying it isn't high school when working with men too.

High school never ends until people decide to grow the fuck up, anon. That doesn't happen in most places within the military.

It's not a fear of vaginas, it's the knowledge that women are petty bitches -- with NO exceptions. It's because they've got a hole that won't heal and they blame us for it.

>>35139997
Women are oppressed! Since the military is predominantly male we should only be recruiting females until we bridge the gap. Especially in the higher ranks we need to give run of the mill female workers fast track promotions to even out the leaders as well. They should also be babied in the bootcamps, and pampered with higher BAS/BAH and clothing allowances so they can live fancy vegan gluten free lifestyles in luxury; anything less would be flat out sexism. The patriarchy has had its rain but when are you people going to wake up and accept that unqualified women are more deserving of a job than qualified men. I mean really this is why our country is in the shitter, we should have elected Hilary. Having the worlds strongest military isn't important we should strive to be the most diverse military and fill it up with faggots/trannies/women. Please apologize for your offensive remarks and give me the privileges society owes me for having a vagina.

Fucking hell.

>>35140074
Honestly more men in the military will cause you trouble. People stuck in a leadership role that don't even want to be in but are holding out for a pension make everyone's lives hell. Women in the military are easier to take advantage of, shift blame onto, and they are companionate pussies who won't retaliate if you try to fuck them over.

We need combat rc planes to confirm enemy firing positions.

>>35140143

They have them, CCTs and SOWTs sometimes pilot small drones to do scouting.

>>35140122
Let me just say this, because we clearly just don't agree: I will never work for a female boss. Every single female boss I've ever had, as well as any man I've known who has had one, uses their position of power as a crutch for their lack of leadership ability and they become a total cunt and you have to be their slave.

All women are innately like this. That's why you cannot let them have positions of power. They become the hole in control.

>>35140180

That's another point: children of single mothers. They are all invariably fucked in the head and become shitty people. Need evidence? Go find the nearest group of blacks. Why does this happen? Because a woman had control over an entire person's life with no checks or balances.

Nope, anon, it's definitely a fear of vaginas. Effective soldiers are pretty much unphased at working with soldiers who have vaginas. Guys who fear the slit carry huge chips on their shoulders about it and will endlessly justify their terror to anyone who will listen. Meanwhile everyone else is just getting shit done.

Found the pussyphobic. Your fear makes you weaker than the women you fear. The mere presence of a vagina renders you completely incapable.

It's a wonder more of our adversaries don't employ female soldiers, since it'd render some portion of our servicemembers totally ineffective as they cower from the clit.

What's the most useless branch?

At MEPS hotel, medical and swear in tomorrow. What are the repercussions for backing out of DEP if my recruiter fucks me on job?

>>35140502

Objectively Marines don't have a real good reason to exist. There's nothing they actually do that another branch doesn't do better.

>>35140502

Honestly? I'd have to say the Marines.

>Air Force and Navy
They project power and establish control of air and sea.

>Army
Take and hold terrain through numbers and combined arms.

>Coast Guard
Anti-piracy, smuggling, rescue, and other vital roles in the homeland.

>Marines
Come in after air power and SOF are done to hit targets with conventional force before the Army.

>>35140527

That recruiter probably won't work with you any more, and may sit on your paperwork if you try to transfer to another branch/recruiter.

>>35140528
>>35140532
Marines are the ground extension of the Navy. Quick response and seaborne invasion (SHOULD) be what they do best.

Today they basically do the Army's job because they need to justify their existence.

No matter what im gonna give it my all and go for it, but how difficult will it be to actually get there?

Asked this a couple threads ago, but no one replied.

I slightly hurt my knee a few months ago doing squats improperly. So when squat, there is a very very small pain, it's more of an annoyance really.

Should I just go to basic before checking out if anything is wrong?

I already had to go through medical record hell for small shit from years ago, and don't want to give them any reasons to DQ me.

Sidenote. I can still do squats, and I don't even feel it when I jog/run.

Thoughts?

Oi lads. Thinking about joining the Army. I'm in my mid 20's and have a bachelors degree. I know I can join as an officer and also the Army paying off my student loans is a pretty nice incentive. I'd like to try and go the Ranger route if possible. Another possible path is the Navy and tying to become a SEAL. Anybody have any experience or info for a young lad?

Okay, medical question.

I have a slightly uneven ribcage. One rib on the right side of my chest sticks out a bit. The rest on that side have stick out just a tiny bit compared to my right side. Maybe a quarter inch of difference between my right and left side, but enough my nipples aren't totally on the same plane. Asked a doctor as a teen, he said it was nothing to worry about.

Birthmark tier shit, or potential waiver or DQ?

What civilians think Marines are:
>Hardcore Army, toughest of the tough, can beat anybody, doesn't afraid of anything, don't mess with THE MARINES!

What Marines actually are:
>Young adults with something to prove who have the mentality of 8 year olds and a genuine belief that they can stand toe to toe with Tier-1 operators. The Navy, rightfully, uses them as people to do their dirty work for them so the guys and gals with actual brains can get things done. SOF guys patronize them because they're the equivalent of a little kid trying one their dad's business suit, thinking they're one of them, and it's just so darn precious. Everything they do has been made obsolete by the mass production of air planes and helicopters, meaning amphibious assaults are effectively useless, and their unwillingness to compromise MUH CORPS makes them incredibly frustrating to work with, because their entire metric for "how should this be done?" is almost always answered by "the way Gunny says so/the way the guy before you did it."

So what are they left with? Spiffy uniforms and a massive inferiority complex, so now they have to plaster the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor on everything they own and end every conversation with "Semper Fi."

>>35142430
I guess I was one of the fortunate ones then. Perhaps spending too much time online and later hearing how disenchanted my marine friend became helped.

>>35142486
I'm dead set on earning a commission, come hell or high water. In any case, I assume that would be enough, no? They typically say that as long as you have 2 years remaining that they'll be willing to put you in.

>>35142502
Believe me, you made a good call. I was like you once. "Oh those guys on /meg/ don't know what they're talking about," "I've got a great plan and they just didn't think things through as well as I did," "Surely the Marines can't be THAT bad! They're just shitposting!"

It started off slow at first. The improper uses of "your" ("Hey, your still going to join right?"). "Well, whatever," I thought. And then I saw the people who it attracted. Fresh out of high school, had problems with their parents, whose entire goal in life was to shoot something. I'm 23, and mature for my age, so I wanted something more concrete. Something I could make a living off of after. Some tangible skills. "Surely they can't ALL the Corps has to offer. After all, the military is huge!" Except to even get into the DEP you have to sign a 'temporary' open contract, but don't worry, you can still pick your job!

...Except you can't. You can pick your job field. 3 job fields, to be exact. And you'll get one of them. Probably.

"Oh well, that's fine, at least I still have my college credits. I'll make E-3 and pick up E-4 within the first year, then I won't have to live in the barracks."

Except every other branch gives you credit for college. Not Marines. E-2 is your maximum you will get. So now, you're dropping rank. But it's all worth it to be a Marine right? And what does that entail? The worst bases, the worst living conditions, and a bunch of stupid fucking people who surround you at all times. Seriously, hang out with Marines for an hour or two. You will see the extent of their intellectual capacity.

Believe me: when everyone in the thread is saying the same thing, there's a reason. DO. NOT. JOIN. THE. MUH. REENS.

>>35142570
>I'll make E-3 and pick up E-4 within the first year, then I won't have to live in the barracks."

Bit of a misnomer, you will have to live in the barracks until E-6~ but you'll get your own room. Probably. For E-4s it's a 50/50 shot, but for E-5 and above it's almost a given.

Anybody else get overwhelming anxiety when reporting to a new unit. Just found out I got TAD where I will be reporting to 2 different units within the next 3 weeks. Then I'm going to get orders to my next unit very soon after that. I'm going to have to report like 3 times in a month. Why the fuck couldn't I just PCS to my next unit right away? I'm a non rate so they can literally send me to my next unit anywhere anytime. Just feel like the whole TAD thing is pointless since there is no reason not to PCS me right away. I'm going to be at one unit for literally 2 days. I hate meeting new people and get nervous as fuck when I go somewhere alone. Last time I PCSed I was suicidal because my anxiety was so bad.

Funny thing is I was never planning on joining. I wasn't even aware that there was much of a difference between the marines and the army at the time. At most I had a moderate interest in the military because of video games and other media, nothing serious. My friend with the massive marine hard on was like what you described though - issues with his parents and wanted to shoot shit, though he wasn't stupid. He tried to get me to join with him but I was indifferent to it. Also, brotherhood was a big thing to him, and a close friend he made there ended up fucking him over. In the end, the little impact it all had on me helped me dodge a bullet it seems.

Being an officer in those units is insanely competitive and luck fo the draw. Itd be way easier to go the enlisted route and become an officer later.

>>35143883

The difference being if you commission and fail to get into SOF when you have the chance, you're still commissioned.

If you enlist and fail to commission, you're enlisted. Plus you can fail to make it into SOF as enlisted too.

>>35143916
of course, but as an enlisted you can recycle and re-attempt selection far easier than if youre an officer. Gotta hedge your bet in one way or the other.

I'm an army ROTC cadet, is it likely that my senior military instructor will give me permission to travel to either Japan or South Korea over winter break?

Let's assume Anon is joining the military. He decides that as a college grad, he's going to become an officer. He talks with the recruiter and his officer packet is eventually sent to the review board. He goes off to OCS and during his time there a condition arises where he cannot be allowed into the job that he was selected for and signed for.

Now what happens? Do they send him home because officers are all selected for their jobs? Do they stick Uncle Sam's fat dick in him and give him some shit job nobody else wants?

>>35143883
No it wouldn't.

>>35144121

>>35142710
It's really quite un-marine of them, marine being a sea environment. They are also literally part of the Department of the Navy so I don't know why the Navy doesn't have more control over them.

>>35141566
Well as you are describing it, it sounds like it's not a real issue. If you can suck something up that's always the best case scenario (by a fucking long shot). So my advice is to just work through it, if you do go to bootcamp tho and then it starts hurting it's already too late. Sick call is the fucking worst you will never get out if you puss out in boot.

>>35142475
I think I have the exact same thing, the physical examinations are sped up and they hardly look at you because there are 100 other people in line at MEPS. I'm pretty damn A-symmetrical I might even have scoliosis on top of it and I got through, and my rib cage looks like when the tire aren't aligned with a steering wheel, basically I look forward and it looks like someone spun my ribs 15 degrees clockwise on my spine. Don't mention it and just get through you will be fine.

>>35142488
I think you are underselling how spiffy their uniforms are, it almost makes them the best branch even if they wear helmets on the school bus and eat 64 packs of crayons for breakfast.

But yeah they are basically like Morty's we keep them around because they are so cute in how much they think of themselves. It's like a dog that can ride a skateboard just amusing to watch.

I am going to finish my bachalor and I am tempted to apply officer. Thing is, in the canadian army, i read that they look up your bachelor to make sure that it can be applied in your field. I can only think of intelligence and MP.
If i don't go military, its going to be anything law enforcement related.
Both sounds great imo but which one is the best

>>35144422
Talk with a recruiter beforehand and see what degrees they want, maybe check out Canadian version of rotc or whatever.

In US, having a degree is really the only requirement, but your expertise will help land you the preferred job. I imagine it is much the same in Canada, and for both Intel and MP you probably won't have an issue unless you get a degree in basket weaving from a shitty university.

Tl;Dr do whatever degree you want, college is shit if you aren't. But talk to military beforehand, you could get a scholarship maybe

>>35144112
They find you another job that you still qualify for, probably will have you come in to pick from available positions.

If its a really bad condition like cancer, not just a new peanut allergy to bar you from flying, maybe medical discharge. However I think that's unlikely since you're in already

How was ocs BTW? Waiting for my letter is agony, and not sure how the process before and after goes. Still need to buy my boots

6 months later and I failed my medical and am now medically unfit to serve.

Welp, I fucked up my life.

>>35144816
Why did you fail your medical?

>>35144850
Lazy left eye and that was it

Hey anons, is it true that it doesn't matter what degree you have to be an officer in the airforce?

Or would it be better to get something like an aviation degree if I wanted to be a pilot?

>>35144863
Shouldn't matter for the most part, all this information is on the website or a phone call away from a local recruiter.

The best thing I ever did was speak to my recruiter first.

I wanna go muhreens. I tried to go navy when I was 17, but mummy and daddy wouldn't sign off. i'm 18 now, but I live 300 miles away from my parents, and they have the medical records and the signature from my doctor saying that I am completely healed from my surgeries and concussions I had when i was a kiddo, and I don't want to go back down to their house to pick it up. I told the navy about my injuries but I withdrew my med records before I could go to meps. I have a scar from a surgery on my right elbow, a very straight line about 4 inches long. Can I just lie to the marine recruiters and say that I've never had any surgeries and the scar is from a rock stratch or something?

>>35144863
It doesn't really matter, no. But technical degrees will better prepare you for it. Plus scholarships or whatever

You don't need an aviation degree, but having your pilots license and hours is a massive plus if you go pilot. Ocs guys I know got pilot with just 80 or so hours of time and no license.

Guy I know who is in the Air Force left his post last Tuesday in Tampa to avoid Hurricane Irma without approved leave is on his way back after his commanding officer called him and get his ass back there.

He's an E2, what's the chances of him getting dishonorably discharged for that?

>>35145094

A dishonorable discharge is fairly rare, but AWOL is srsbidness. They'll probably just take a bunch of his pay and destroy any chance of a long-term career.

>>35144937
It seems very questionable that anyone with experience would look at that and determine that it was accidental. Scars look different depending on what caused them.

Has a family and didn't want to wait for approval. Just packed up his family and left 5 days before the hurricane made landfall. Never been in the military but don't get how he thought leaving without approval and driving 800 miles away to be with his mom was remotely a good idea.

Any advice on joining the national guard?

>>35145417
If I may ask, why?

>>35145480
Don't do it unless you have a career outside that won't let you go once you ship to basic and ait

>>35142570
Fuck you, those retards make for great entertainment, just be sure not to use words that are too big or obscure.

>>35145514

Your daily reminder that it's literally illegal for them to not hold your job up to 5 years when you join the military. Both reserves and active duty.

They even have to adjust for seniority when you get back, as if you'd never left.

>>35145548
My Marine friend just made a post today about 9/11. He said it was a "tragity."

>>35145582
Sure, but there's always shit like "unsatisfactory performance" that they can let you go for instead. I know a friend who joined the guard and a week before he shipped he mysteriously was fired because he wasn't performing to the company standard anymore. What the standard was remains a mystery

What they did was illegal as fuck but it was also just some desk IT job and he found another easily

>>35145663
>>35145582
Seconding this. Friend of mine joined the Navy, went to MEPS and gave the proper notice beforehand under USERRA. Got canned from his job, and because it's a right to work state, he's double screwed. It's fucking scummy, and is a big reason why a lot of military vets have a hard time working with civilians after their service: they lack integrity.

>>35145689
>implying people in the military have integrity too
Everyone's fucked

>Im desperate and I like how my MOS sounds. Plus marsoc looks cool

>>35145761
If your MOS has something with "Combat" in front of it then they are rusing you. Marines are notorious for putting that word in front of any POG job under the sun in an attempt to lure people into thinking they're going to be grunts.

MARSOC guys are hard, they're a pretty high speed bunch, but you're only eligible to join MARSOC after your first enlistment. If you are trying to be an operator, literally every single other branch under the DOD has greater capabilities to let you do so, and the finances to support them as well.

>>35145663
>>35145689

The problem is that nobody actually wants their shitty pre-military job back, so few people actually bother to pursue action under USERRA. It doesn't change the fact that they're legally entitled to keep their job, they just decided they don't really want it.

>>35139598
I want to be a Helicopter Pilot on the army. How competitive is their high school to flight school program and is there anyway to get it guaranteed in my contact at MEPs?

Guys, I'm worried now, I saw someone in the last thread mention to an anon asking about rangers that he'd have a hard time getting in because of an expunged possession charge. I had a expunged trespassing that got brought down to literally nothing and I had to write a letter to my local court not to do it again. My problem is I didn't mention it on my sf86 because my recruiter said if there's no fingerprints that pop up then I'll be fine and I have nothing to worry about and I assumed I'd be alright since it just requires a security clearance instead of TS but now I'm stressing, did I just fuck myself out of RASP?

I dont get why anybody in their right mind would go muhrines, unless its a 4 and out and even then its retarded. Atleast in the army you get automatic e4 pay and slightly better housing and gear. i love triggering muhrines in the rare handful of times weve run into them in uniform

>>35146054

Always, always, always full disclosure on your SF86.

>>35146078
Shit is it too late to fix it? I'm going in tomorrow to sign off on sending a medical record so should I ask my recruiter to go over my sf86 one more time and when I get to the expunged records part explain I need to change it?

>>35146054
Yes... you fucked your self. Your recruiter failed to mention that "dropped" charges are no more than a meme when it comes to federal background checks. It will come up. Lying to MEPS is one thing but why falsify your sf86

Fuck okay good to know idk why he would tell me it's no big deal as long as nothing shows up on the finger prints when I explicitly told him that my charge got expunged and I figured it would be no problem finding out

>>35146073
Marines have literally two things going for them:

1. Their dress blues.
2. Their esprit de corps.

If either of these are good enough reasons for you to join the military then you are retarded.

The highschool to flightschool program is entirely seperate from the normal recruiting process. You don't do it through your recruiter.

Hey, oddly specific question but anyone know if the coast guard will fly me from Brooklyn MEPS over to Cape May (Philadelphia airport) or is it just going to be a longer bus ride. Can't seem to find any info and I was just curious.

How does the Army Ranger's RASP + Ranger School compare to the Navy SEALs' BUD/S + SQT?

Obviously one involves much more swimming and various other maritime operations than the other, but how do they compare with regards to length and difficulty?

I've smoke probably a pound of weed in my life but I was never caught so it's easy to get through MEPS. Your real problem is going to be when you fill out the E-QIP and they get to do a criminal background check on you.

Ask your recruiter what you should say about the weed (if the charges don't implicate you dirrectly you can say you have never smoked) but your recruiter should tell you that any charges are going to come up so you will have to put it somewhere

>>35147101
Anyone? Srs

There, I just made everyone happy. Marines now have a clear focus and the overlap between their duties and the Army's has significantly lessened.

You didn't make Marines happy, since they'll go back to being even more irrelevant if you don't allow them to be a "second Army" anymore.

With regards to length, SQT (from BUD/s to SERE, jump school, etc.) takes a full fucking year.

From what I've seen, rangers need to do basic, AIT, jump school (3 weeks), RASP (8 weeks), then you're "in".

About 10% of people that start in the seal pipeline become seals.

I believe it's close to 20% for ranger battalion.

Please, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Anyone here have experience with ROTC? I'm in the process of filing all the paperwork, and unnoticed that once enrolled, I'm forced to renounce my dual citizenship (that being Irish). While I'm willing to do this as I view my service more important than traveling with ease in Ireland, it would be nice not to have to lose something fun like that. Also, if you could lay any tips on me for ROTC and military life in general it would be much appreciated.

My Navy enlistment contract says I have a 6 year enlistment with 2 years of IRR. What can I expect the 24 months of IRR to be like towards the end of my enlistment? I understand it's reserves, but what is it?

>>35149079
Nothing. You're a civilian again unless called upon. That basically is their way of telling you "During these 2 years, we have the right to recall you to active duty for whatever we may need you to do. No ifs, ands, or buts."

It is EXTREMELY rare to be recalled.

If you're Navy they'll stick you as a SWO or let you separate. Sometimes they'll let you laterally transfer into another field, depending on if they accept you into it.

Is there a Foreign Legion I could maybe enter without learning another language (english speaker) that has more lenient medical disqualification?

Quick Question:

Went through MEPS with one branch and got temp Disqualified for having an inguinal hernia i was unawares of. I have since got it fixed, but have to wait 6 months.

I feel like i could go in a few weeks. If i signed on with another branch and go through the motions again would they catch me at MEPS again & hold me back for the same amount of time, or could i get into basic in 60 days or less?

At this point i dont care which branch. I can't stand living with my family anymore and I dont have any qualifications to get a trained blue collar job.

>>35148056
No such thing as a legally binding ASVAB. You have no obligation to join anything until you sign a contract. A lot of people take the ASVAB before they turn 18, and you can retake it every so often if you don't like your score

I have IBS, astigmatisms in both eyes, and occasional migraines. Would any of these make me medically disqualified?

Tell the truth, desu. It's a plausible story. Plus, if the scars aren't smooth, clean and perpendicular/parallel, they'll buy your story. I have two small scars from my dogs jumping on me on my right arm, inner wrist. They actually look vaguely self-harmy because they look clean and parallel/perpendicular to my arm.

Back in 2011 I enlisted in the IL national guard as a split option in high school. Went down to Benning for basic training in the summer between my junior and senior year. Ended up hurting my back and was put on a dead man's profile and missed most of ARM. Was sent home because of MRD instead of being recycled and was discharged with an ELS and RE-3 on my DD-214. I am currently living in NC and have decided that I want to enlist in the NC Guard. What are my chances of being able to reenlist?

>>35151006
No, there's a wealth of information out there regarding workout routines. What I meant by best shape of my life is that I've gotten to the point where I am the most athletic I have ever been. Although that's probably nowhere near enough for SOF training, my body has been physically conditioned to withstand punishment from workouts and the like.

And by the 10 mile run remark, I'd like to be able to go knock out a 10 mile run by the time I'm ready to start SOF proper.

>>35151393
In general, the Navy is the "perfect" branch. It does just about everything right. It has a great lineage and sense of tradition, but its personnel aren't moto retards nor incapable of adopting new technology to meet their goals. And on top of all of this, it is undeniably military -- you will be getting a genuine military experience with the Navy.

I think it strikes the best balance between enjoyment and discipline personally.

I was reading about the history of the Marines the other day. They were so much better back in the day. They just went along with the Navy, sailed to foreign lands, and fucked people up so the government didn't need to raise an army, use the militia, or hire private soldiers.

Funny enough, they actually say that the smaller guys perform better during grueling training since they have less body mass to contend with.

I remember watching a training video for BUD/s once (not the Class 234 documentary) and one of the instructors mentioned that they see guys who are "scrawnier" and smaller often able to put out just as much if not more than the beefcakes.

>>35152216
Again literally none of that is true. The only guys who say that are seals. So in other words their perception of wahts "average" is super fucking warped. Average to them is stud as fuck compared to a normal man. When they tell you go run 10 miles on the wet sandy beach in boots tahts all physique, it doesnt have shit to do with your mind. They only say that cause they assume youre already in incredible shape. They take it as a given that youve been an athlete your whole life.

>>35152231
That's a fair point.

>>35152177
Iirc you do something that allows you to go to school while working. Mp/security work isnt much like police work.

Just being military helps with your resume, and police work isnt that much better than military.

>running 45 miles
>weigh 40 pounds less than the next dude

Hmm

>>35151950
The lifts are impressive. However, being gym strong isn't what will help you with getting into SOF. My Marine Corps OSO told me that the guys who are gym rats are the ones who fail out of OCS. What you should focus on is muscular endurance--endurance overall. How well can you throw and move your body around? You should focus on being able to run fast and crank out as many pullups and pushups as possible.

In OCS, for example, a perfect PFT score has an 18:00 3 mile and 23 strict pull-ups. Focus on body weight exercises.

>>35151967
You lie about it. There is no private medical file of yours that the military can pull up--no matter how much they lie to you and threaten to do it.

It's possible. I'm going through the same thing right now, but not for a medical reason. Basically as long as you can show that your injuries are gone and you've made a full recovery, they can help you get back in. It involves a waiver and a few interviews and of course another visit to MEPS but it's doable. Just gotta find a recruiter who's willing to work with you. With the surge shit and trumps orders earlier this year to pump up our numbers again, you've got more of a chance than you did 2 years ago for sure

I'm trying to join the Navy (active duty) right now. I had to send in some medical records for something I mentioned that isn't/will never be an issue (he wanted to send in the records to be safe) and I haven't heard from my recruiter in 2 weeks. I've heard of some people not being called back for a month or two after sending in their medical records. Is this true?

>>35153085
You'd need to get permanent residence before joining the US Military.

A better chance is to marry a US citizen to become a permanent resident. If you join, say, the Navy or something you'll probably end up not living in the US for much of your service anyway.

>>35152542
Depende if they feel youll do the same with them then no.
The n1 thing the FFL looks for IS people Who are willing to stay after the initial 5 years contract as most people fuck off after that
So in order to prove that they like you having no other options a.k.a never finished highschool/college never had a real job, felonys etc.
The thing with americans IS that they are seem as spoiled and in their Land of fredums they could make a lot more money or simply be part of a biggest military so they are always sceptical of americana wanting to join.

>>35153384
Is it really that hard to understand?
I want to join an Army.
Why wouldn't I try to join the one with the most money going into it?

>>35153443
It just doesn't make any sense. In non-conscription nations people join a the military, especially in America, out of a sense of duty or patriotism. For a good amount of people they may just want gibsmedats especially if they're pumping out 4 years of enlistment and fucking off. I know we used to have a program where you could join the military and become a citizen if you weren't already one but I think that's been defunded now.

But to join a foreign Army just because they have money for toys? I really don't get it.

How vigorous is the MEPS physical. I have a slight heart murmur and I don't want to get denied in the pre-screen. I plan on disclosing it? Do you think they'll pick up on it at MEPS?

are you stupid or something? you need to be a permanent resident and to be able to hold a security clearance to join (they start you off at the lowest one which is basically "can read your own emails" but still)

>>35153630
>I'm from Great Britain
if you can get into your military, then most of the commonwealth participates in an exchange program with eachother. im not sure if every branch does it but the navy definitely does, you see a lot of NZ and australians puttering around Halifax

if you can't get into your military lmao you must be really out of shape or something but then again it should be good impetus to get a REAL job t. reservist

it takes a very long time to become a permanent resident and the enrolment process is already very stringent even for citizens. the forces' own website also does not mention any such entry method, and says you must have canadian citizenship

(the reserve force requirements are basically identical but are bizarrely not just copy-pasted)

the most likely thing is that permanent residents are allowed to join, since permanent residency is technically not the same as actual canadian citizenship

If you have an injury, DO not join the FFL. Having worked with them i can tell you there are 2 types of soldier there: big guys and skinny guys. And they all run, you will PT your fucking ass off, and not the smart kind of "wow, im a better person physically" no, its the "I'm getting cortisol shots in my joints at 35 because I'm fucking broken" kind of shit, even moreso than in the US army. Having a pre-existing injury you can lie about won't keep you out, but when you break, they wont keep you around.

It's pretty common in people new to running long distances and since I'm a poor-fag I can't afford running shoes.
Which, as you can guess, just makes it all the more likely to injure myself if I'm new to long distance running.
It isn't permanent, I appreciate your concern though.
