Should I Join The Marines Military Service @hodgetwins

[@skylaellis]

TRUST ME. Their opinion of the military was SPOT ON. I been in for five years and I'm not out, yet. So all I can say is everything they said was 100% spot on.

Thanks for your service guys. I enlisted in 1976 straight out of high school. Didn't know what the FUCK I wanted to do with my life. I graduated high school June 4, 1976 and on July 1 I was sweating my ass off in some old WW2 barracks in Parris Island. Spent my 18th birthday at the rifle range. I ended up as an avionics technician MOS 6617 UHF communications I-level maintenance. Got a lot of good training that I still use today. Another reason I joined the Marines was because my brother had joined the Air Force the previous year, and I wanted to one-up his ass.

[@bmorg1984]

When it comes to joining the military, the biggest critics are the ones who have never been in it. I've been in the ARMY since 2006, and I've been deployed. I haven't harmed anyone, in fact I've helped more than harm. Now, I'm in the Reserves, and the ARMY is paying for my bachelors degree, using the Post 9/11 GI bill. My daughter was born while I was deployed and it hardly cost my wife and I anything because of Tricare. I re-enlisted when I came home, last year. The best choice I've ever made.

[@kayvonyazdan2911]

Problem with the military for me was, it generally makes you one of two people: 1.) a well charactered and experienced individual 2.) a crazy nut who cheers on wars while sipping a 40oz watching Fox News....I can't gamble with those odds

[@Tuffadandem]

True.... I did some time with the Royal Marines and thankfully I turned out to be number 1. I knew quite a bunch of number 2's though. I enjoyed it for the training and the experiences. I usually always have stories to tell friends. Priceless memories. Good times and not so good times, but it was a maturing process as well.

Royal Marines is British Marines, very difficult training and selection but one of the best line infantry units in the world. I served 6 years in the British Army infantry and did tours of Afghan and Iraq. Some of my best years were in the Army, and some of my worst. One thing I would point out is that in the UK having military service on your CV / Resume doesn't get you very far nowadays. I've struggled to get minimum wage work nowadays. Ultimately my advice to this guy (I'm sure he's made his decision by now) is to go to Uni/college and if you can get a good job that you enjoy do that. If you have fuck all job opportunities, join the military. That's the advice I would give my children too.

[@SantomPh]

Marines are not Navy, it's just that because the two branches work together their command structures are welded at certain points. Because the captain is the main commander on a ship, for example, any Marines on board have to defer to him/her while at sea. When on operation, the Navy is the one in control of field logistics even if Marines are the ones actually landing on the beaches.

You can find out to do that without joining the military and signing your life away for 7 years...

[@barrettnichols2949]

Get a weapon; knife, firearm, mace/pepper spray, baton, whatever. Practice with it. Learn how to draw it out quickly, where to hit with it, or just plain hit something with it. Most weapons require very little practice with; a knife can be used effectively with zero combat or training experience. A firearm can be used effectively with proper guidance and practice. A baton, well.......stick, hold in hand, swing, beat brains in, end of story. Knowing your weapon and how to use it is the easy part. it's the mental conditioning that's tougher and trickier. You should not condition yourself to kill without a second thought, but you should prepare yourself to do what you need to do. Any fool can kill. It's knowing when to kill that makes the difference between you and a criminal. Real violence has no rules. Your defense shouldn't either.
