Golf 2/8 3rd Platoon
If it was me, I'd join the Navy, Air Force, or Coast Guard (lololol CG).trackstarr wrote:

Anybody here with military background give me some details (training, front lines, etc.)
CG Divers are badass, especially in places like Alaska and other places where they do fishing.Jagexx wrote:

The Coast Guard has the 2nd hardest boot camp behind the Marines. That and prior service still has to go through boot camp again.Jagexx wrote:

Thats what I am doing and I would recommend it. I'm USMCR currently but shipping out to the Platoon Leaders' Course for the Corps in early July trying to earn my commision as an Officer. I love the Corps, even as a reservist. I'm actually being given more opportunities as a dirty reserve then I would as active duty currently. As an E-3 I am qualifying on pistols because as part of the Anti-Terrorism Bn I rate one, something that doesn't usually happen until a Marine is E-6. I also appear to being taken into a STA (pre scout sniper) platoon and if so I will have school seat avaliable practically 100% guarenteed. Add on top that I have the GI Bill (only a 10k one sense I haven't been active duty for over 12 months so no kickers) and an officer's stipend after the first six week course of the PLC college is a lot more affordable now.sexecuti0ner wrote:
You can always join the armed forces AND go to school, can't you? It doesn't have to be one or the other.

basically military propaganda just makes the military look cool. Shooting big guns Killing things. When really you'd have you work cut out, being shot at, the possibility of having your best mate blown to bits.

Or get a job in the military that you can spend the rest of your life with, though, if you have already found someone that you are planning to spend your life with(Im guessing you haven't since you are probably 15 or 16)then you want to follow h&d's advice.hate&discontent wrote:
i was a grunt (duh 0311), and really liked what i did, but there isn't many jobs out there for a trained killer. if you join the MARINES or any branch, get a billet that you can turn into a career in the real world.
