Marine Military Academy Recruiting Video

[@lonl123]

When I was young in the 70's I desperatly wanted to go to the Academy, but my parents just couldn't afford it....When I turned 17, I was talked into going into the Navy, and regretted my decision (I had a great time though)...After I got out of the Navy, I finally enlisted into the Corps when I was 28 years old. Boot camp was hard as shit, but I made it and served 8 years in the Corps. Proud to be a Marine and proud of these young men that got the chance to go to the academy. Semper Fi

Semper Fi brother!

I attended in my sophomore year, 72-73! In my junior and senior years back at public school I missed the Academy! Didn't appreciate it until I was no longer there! If you can get a full scholarship, go for it! Or not! I just read the comments of others and things/people have changed over the last 50trs! I got picked on maybe once or twice mildly, nothing else and I was a malcontent! No one got beaten up, tortured or unfairly treated by staff, DI's, or cadet officers! If the quality of people has so degenerated, as comments suggest, then I would ,today, think twice about going unless I was 6' tall, 200lbs and an blackbelt.

Omg I remember summer of 2019 if was hard but worth it

[@creepcraft370]

Yo I was there to. May I ask you your name?

[@elmondwilliams9955]

Very good school and theory...but some unfortunate occurrences have married the reputation of an otherwise fine institution

[@Tabaskospecial]

What happened, I graduated from there 2013

[@scoutpark5230]

I attended their 2020 summer camp and every day I was there, I wished I wasn't. It got to the point where about 3 weeks in, I was coming up with a plan to sneak off the campus and make it to a gas station so I could call my parents back home. I didn't go through with it because it did involve dropping out of a window and falling maybe 16 feet? something around that. Also, overall, it was just a bit of a shitty plan. The sergeants I had were surprisingly empathetic people and I do respect their willingness to listen to their cadets, but it did not change that MMA is fundamentally a bad place for children. It strips you of your individuality and greatly limits your ability to express yourself and it perpetuates some ... not so great values about what it means to be a strong man.

I REMEMBER MY FRIEND DANIEL TELLING ME ABOUT THIS

[@kirkangel525]

I knew a Pvt. Zumock who went there back in the 80's...did not prepare him for life at all. He is now a failed standup comic living in poverty just outside Tampa, FL. His folk spent THOUSANDS on this school, with lackluster results. If you really want your child to reach for the stars then I would look elsewhere. ✨️

[@creepcraft370]

Do not go here. Trust me it's not worth it. I went for 2 summers and 1 school year.

[@notredamelockerroom376]

What's wrong with the place?

[@slickygreasegames]

I went there for 5 years and I was fucking miserable. During my sophomore year I almost committed suicide because I was constantly bullied and they told me to" tough it out". I wouldn't send any child here, even if I had the money.

[@dlekander]

Not that this will change anything but why are cadets wearing the EGA? I understand the similar ties that your academy is trying to have to my beloved Corps, but just like your rank insignia you should be using something different. The EGA is something that us Devil Dogs have have shed blood sweat and tears over to earn. I don't feel that the cadets in your program have earned that right yet?

[@matthewb774]

I doubt many (if anyone) are confused or mistaken in taking these cadets for actual military members. Looks like a beautiful campus though.

[@kfisherx]

Also as an actual Marine, I agree. They should not get to wear that. It is earned and they have not earned it.

[@96792HAMMAH]

Hate ur kid? They'll have a great time here

[@Noruddercontrol]
