OK DONT LISTEN TO ALL OF THOSE PIECE'S!
Listen if you have a comfortable life, and people you love being with, and have a family you dont want to be without, then do not do it.
ALL the crap about benefits and pay, its garbage! If your single, you are going to be live in a 10x10 room, with a bathroom, shitty ass hard bed, a/c doesnt work half the time!
the pay is horrible, you can barely live comfortably, and dont even think about saving money, thats out of the question. They say, oh well we pay for housing, food, medical, dental. Yeah they do, but its all at the bare minimum, and the worst service you could get. im being serious man. Its a really shitty life style, i know very few marines that like it. the dental and medical benefits are horrible, you go there, you wait 8 hours ( urgent care) doesnt sound to urgent! then they assist you, and tell you, well here is some pain meds, nothing thats good! just some tylenol and pat you on the back! as far as surgery goes, you might just want to expect, three or four surgeries, for some simple, because there not going to get it right the first time. oh and you'll be waiting about 2-3 months, maybe more, just to get the surgery. no bullshit man. dental is'nt that bad, but havent really dealt with that as much. FOOOOODD WOOOOWOWOWOWWO! well they say they pay for your food, but they dont, they take out about 300 dollars for it every month, i spend about that much at the grocery store a month, just becuase the food at the chow hall is ####ing horrible. i dont even think most of it is eatible! its that bad, and you can only get a certain amount, and they got these little tickets to make sure you dont get more than your supposed to! its ####ing ###... like marines are 18-22 years old, they need to eat A LOT, and they give you bare minimum!! its bullshit!!! oh and if you ever want to go do something on a weekend, you might as well throw it out the window... they have a chart on how far you can drive,, and where you can go, its bullshit, and if you get caught, you lose money rank, the whole 9 yards... Like seriously, there are so many rules and restrictions to what you can do, that your always worried about getting in trouble, even if you know your not doing anything wrong. One small incident, will end your marine corps career, they make it to where if you get in trouble, even if it is something stupid, that you cant recover from it, because of all the rules. pretty much if you do, you wont pick up rank, and you will be marked as a piece of shit, i personally havent been in trouble, but ive seen alot of goood guys get in trouble for stupid shit and then get put down the rest of there time in. its ####ing stupid. if you want ot get treated like your ####ing 2, and degraded for no ####ing reason, this is what you want. You want to be treated like a HUMAN and a man, dont join! at least not the marines, im not talking for other services cause i really dont know. The marines is an UNORGANIZATION!!!! know one ever knows whats going on! you do stupid shit all the time, just to pass time. For real dude dont waste your ####ing time... DONT LISTEN TO ALL THOSE ###GOT STAFF SERGEANTS THAT HAVE BEEN POSTING SHIT!!!! THERE ALL HOMOS THAT DONT HAVE A LIFE BACK HOME AND CANT MAKE IT OUTSIDE THE CORPS, CAUSE THERE TO ####ING LAZY TO MAKE SOMETHING OF THERE SELVES! SERIOUSLY THERE ###GOTS THAT GOT PICKED ON IN HIGH SCHOOL AND HIDE BEHIND THE ####ING ROCKERS AND MAKE OTHERS THERE bi*** JUST LIKE THEY WERE THERE WHOLE LIFE BECAUSE THERE LOSERS, WHICH IS WHY THEY ENJOY IT, CAUSE THERE IN CONTROL, AND THEY HAVE POWER, SOMETHING THEY NEVER HAD BEFORE, BUT USE IT TO THERE ADVANTAGE! ####ING ###S!!!!!!!! GET A ####ING LIFE!!!! IM DONE
IM A VERY DECLORATED MARINE! JUST HATE ALL THE BS THAT COMES WITH IT!!!!! ITS ####ING ###!!!!!!
OK guys keep this thread going.Especially people that are in the armed forces and married. I wanted to join since I was about 15 I am 27 be 28 at the end of the month (cut-off for joining). And I cannot sleep anymore bc I know this is what I want to do, but I got married this past year, just built a new house and my wife said that she would support me with what ever choice, but she knows I will not rest untill I find something meaningful to do with my life. So how hard is it to me married and your wife does not live close by? I will am talking to a recruiter tonight about OCS since I have a college degree. Any adive would be great.
Thanks for the reply's. Phunny not sure why the Marines. Or I am sure, I should say but it's hard for me to pinpoint. Just the respect I have for them compared to the other armed forces is just different. The Marines is something you are part of and forever will be. Were I feel everything else is just does not compare. Everything they do and are just gives me that warm feeling inside that I cannot describe and that is why I cannot tell you exactly why I want to be part of something that great. I know it soudns dumb and weird but thats my only explanation.

UNsafe yeah the reason the wife would not like to move is that we just got done building a house and she is around her family in the same town. It would make things alot easier if she would want to move but her giving up her career and family for me, well......we all know how women are these days! Phunny I do understand about how tv makes it look, and I will consider other options aswell esp. since we have an airforce base close to home, might just have to look into that.
Im a Private First-Class in the Army and I LOVE it!! I'm an 89D (Explosive Ordnance Disposal Specialist) and I save Marines from IED's so join the Army brother!!! ARMY STRONG!!
EOD=Crazy
