Marine Corps sucks. Usn or gtfo

Rule 1: Don't be fat
Rule 2: Don't be a bitch

>marines
learn mexican
>air force
play WoW
>army
if you can't read, its cool
>navy
learn to swim

Navy doesn't go anywhere with a Marine. Suck on that.

>What are some things I should know
that you'll be fighting for a cabal of international bankers

Your favorite flavor of crayon.

U.S.A is ZOG Sodom.
You will potentiality die for reptilian Khazars to further fuck over you and your people.

are you styupid?
and no kids allowed

The recruiter will generally cover anything, mine never once bullshitted me and I got my mos. It's been awhile but for picking an MOS you get like a top 5 list of what's available (if you don't get access to the full list you should kys unless you get the classic meps color blind surprise) but you can wait until what you want opens up. The only thing a recruiter wont tell you is that anything 03 is you spending 90% of your time doing absolute bullshit so just understand if you want to be infantry it's nothing like you imagine even deployed.

For the first 6 weeks you will run for 18 hours a day get your cardio boi.

Get a globe and anchor tattoo before you talk to the recruiter. It'll impress them and let them know you're serious abut it. That way, once you join, they may let you choose where you're stationed. Okinawa, Hawaii, etc. instead of middle eastern shitholes.

>you will run for 18 hours a day
At the speed of a fast walk. I thought my cardio was shit but I didn't have a problem at fucking all. I guess it helps that I DEP'd and lifted weights in between PT days for a year though.

>What are some things I should know before talking to my local recruiter?

if you have a girlfriend she will cheat on you, be prepared to invade Syria or Iran, if you see combat there is an 80% chance your untreated PTSD will make you commit suicide

thank you for your service

I would consider not doing that. Join the Navy or the Air Force.

>guess it helps that I DEP'd a
gayyyyy

DEP poolies are so fuckin gay.

The recruiters will lie to you. You're not going to get to become a bad ass sniper or a tank operator. You're probably going to end up filling gas tanks, stirring shit, or counting parts in some cement armory hut.

Check out devil dog gamers 'marine corps mondays' on youtube, guy seems legit and he gives tonnes of advice, some on shit you should know/consider before you join up

You should understand that he WILL lie to you about various things which are important. You should also understand that, after you graduate boot camp, you won't care that he lied to you.

if you aren't a brain-dead weak-willed arrogant cunt already, you will be soon

How the fuck would I get to shoot some terrorist scum up close?

Mitary Enlistment General

Quite rare, ain't you?

*Military

>>learn mexican

Congrats. You will be trained and sent off to fight wars for billionaires to protect their oil/opiate interests.

If you aren't going infantry then don't bother. Never go open contract, and have patience if you can't get the mos you want immediately. Don't rush it. Also don't bite the bait in regards to 5 and 6 year contracts. You'll kick yourself in the ass a good bit for that one.

Ya got me there. I really should go join ISIS and help destroy the west with the rest of those sand niggers.

How to write a last will and testament.

Don't be a pussy. Request 311

You should know in your heart the reason why your sacrificing yourself to the State.

Say goodbye to your Individuality and the person you were or could be.

9/11 was an inside job.

Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men, machine men with machine hearts and machine minds.

You are men.

Recruiters will lie to you. They have insane quotas and don't care how they meet them. Get everything in writing before you enlist, ESPECIALLY what job you will be doing. Do not disregard this advice.

Read "making the corps".

As a former marine, I'm going to have to

Your shirt is the only thing between you and enemy bullets in a typical USMC offensive.

>Hey Sup Forums I'm 18 and considering joining the Marine Corps. What are some things I should know before talking to my local recruiter?

Pick your favourite army man weapon and pose, put it down on the man's desk and say

>I want to be this one.

If he says that tans are better find a different recruiter.

he is going oh 3-11 so fuck off

Thats right, fight for your freedom goyim.

ok muhammed

Get into marsoc, don't waste your time fucking around in a battalion of minions for 4 years. In fact, check out eod/swcc/seal or navy diver. Less marching and shiny shoes bullshit and more cool shit

Bruh I was 17 and wanted to enlist, how is that gay?

assuming you have the mental and physical fortitude to do any of that

Corpsman here
Change your socks

lmaoing @ ur life

Marines are probably the least diverse, by the way who fucking cares, everybody becomes bros in the marines
there is no color besides green

It's not as bad as people make it out to be, then again, I was allowed to do anything I wanted because I destroyed the ASVAB and have good college grades.

I left the military at the beginning of the Syrian conflict, got the master chief to write me a discharge letter. .That was my experience with the military

The military has been corrupted by women, low standards and low morale concerning our current batch of leadership. Our nation is being run into the ground by our congressmen/senators and everyone knows it even if they can't articulate this sentiment

In other words

>>what are you fighting for exactly?
>>freedom?
>>The American way?
This is all just code for congressmen fucking you over, not paying you on time after they deploy you and just generally being fuck holes to a lot of the military brass. We are disposable to them and we all realize it at this point.

>the part about 5 and 6 year contracts
Yeah, no joke. 3 years down on my 6 year with the army, I already want to shoot myself.

Whats the easiest part of the military to get into?

do not go navy diver! How many retired navy divers have you met? The diving situations you will be in are more dangerous than enemy fire and you dont get the satisfaction of blasting off Achmed's scalp

Become a cop or some shit

>Marines are probably the least diverse

"There is racial question in the Marines, they treat everyone like blacks."
-- Some Marine general or sumfin

first off you should look up everything that can get you disqualified in the first place before you waste your time calling anybody (flat feet, asthma, etc)

If you get a sign-on bonus for $4000, you'll only be getting $3000. Why? There is a 25% luxary tax on bonuses.

Negotiate a higher bonus to offset the tax.

is this nigger retarded?

The US government will spend the rest of your life extorting money from you and giving it to billionaires. Do you think that's worth risking your life for?

my cousin is in the army and he was forced to learn Spanish because of the jungle people in south america

Marine here. Sup Forums is triggered hard as fuck by the military so you're best off going to /k/ for honest advice rather than false or baseless information like with Sup Forums.

Marines are easy as fuck. There's no war going on and, depending on your job, you're just going to be sitting on your ass in a warehouse or your barracks room for 4 years. Boot camp and MCT are cake. Can't speak for SOI. Just do what you're told. Marines take their pride seriously so if you really want a cake walk throughout the entirety of your enlistment, go another branch because otherwise you'll just get fucked with and be forced to do stupid shit with the Marines. It's pretty fun, though. Pay isn't as bad as people make it out to be, especially if you're a bachelor and seek financially literate. Seek a financial counselor when you get the chance. They'll hook you up. Otherwise I got nothing else for you unless you got questions in which case I may or may not be able to answer them.

The whole "hurr durr evry marin iz uh riflmun" meme kills me.

Army as bulk fuel or food specialist.

What are the chances that I'll be deployed to an invasion in Iraq or Syria?

>I got nothing else for you unless you got questions in which case I may or may not be able to answer them.

you seem too smart for a Marine with this here (((lawyer)))speak of yours

>doesn't want brain damage from hypoxia

you some kinda commie?

you realize even joking about this can get you disqualified from higher positions in govt or military? I don't think bootcucking is for you

>What are some things I should know before talking to my local recruiter?
you need a good gob

>first off you should look up everything that can get you disqualified in the first place before you waste your time calling anybody (flat feet, asthma, etc)
All are easy to get waivered. I haven't ever heard of someone not getting a waiver for either flat feet or asthma unless they were in terrible shape AND retarded AND had a very bad criminal background.

Like a cargo truck driver?

>Thinking that posting on an anonymous image board is in some way reflective of my real life conduct.

Unless Trump escalates it to ridiculous levels, you will only get a chance at MEUs or SP-MAGTF (i.e. deployed on ship or deployed some random base like Spain or Italy). There's barely anyone left in Afghan so if you wanted to go, you would have to fight people for deployments since they're so rare.

fuck off ruskie

Never served in the US, let alone Marines, but I guess some things are pretty much universal in every military:
>Learn to shut the fuck up
>Run a lot
>When in suck, just don't give a fuck
>Embrace the suck
>Run a lot
>Keep your mouth shut
>Eat some shit for joint/ankle regeneration. Eat tons of that shit.
>Learn to endure cold weather
>Run a lot
>Learn to not talk when in presence of the N/CO
>Prepare your mind for thousands of absurd stuff
>Learn to wait so you can haste as fuck later

This guy gets it

Well Infantry is the largest of the MOS's for obvious reasons. I would think that Motor T is also pretty big so as long as you're not colorblind, you should be able to get in no problem.

Just join the airforce

Yes, make sure you let them know that they're a completely inferior outfit compared to the Royal Marines.

youtu.be/rbGcDJfawvY

wait really?? I thought flat feet and shit instantly meant you couldn't join

Russian

>Eat some shit for joint/ankle regeneration
wut?

Alright cool

No shit the least diverse, theyre all shitskins

Supplements. For regeneration of your joints, since walking and running around usually with heavy shit strains them a lot. Plenty of people go civil with fucked up joints. Especially knees.

Pretty much. People bitch too much and they don't realize just how fucking easy life really is.
>Ugh we gotta WORK today?
>literally every other day we're just sitting around playing on our phones
>somehow this is the end of the world for them
People are fucking stupid. As long as you don't let the crowd bring you down with their incessant negativity, it's good. Just gotta look on the bright side of things like "It could always be worse".

take your head out of your ass sonny. i can guarantee that 99% of people you come in contact with think you're a pretentious douchebag.

It is pretty annoying how people play on their phones more then they work.I mean, people who actually want to work can't get a job because of those lazy cunts.

>People bitch too much and they don't realize just how fucking easy life really is.
This, thousand times this.

Also not only it could get worse, it will get worse. I remember my feeling of newly gained superiority and achievement after finishing the bootcamp. I was thinking that now begins the "real soldiering". Little I have known, that regimental further training will be much much worse pain in the ass.

I spent my days shutting the fuck up and telling other people to shut the fuck up. I could give a shit what they thought.
And for your information, they thought I was a raging alcoholic, so ha.

Ask him when red heels day is
also try not to laugh at your strong womyn drill sergeant

Not at all, you can get pretty much everything waivered. I have flat feet and didn't even know until meps, they didn't even make me waiver it (I had to get 6 other waivers for some arrests when I was a teenager) the doctor just marked it and informed me. Also know a lot of people with asthma, gang tattoos, hell when I was at meps they were doing everything they could to push this 300lb weak sack of 36 asvab scoring shit through since even if you can't pass the ift and body standards you can still due this retarded fat body thing where you do 2 pushups and stand up and down 5 times in like 3 minutes, of course the fat nigger still failed though lol. The real killer is color blindness since most people don't know they're color blind until at meps, seen a lot of fucked up open contracts from that shit.

How the fuck can you not know you're color blind?

There's loads of types of color blindness that there's seriously almost no way you'd notice without having someone point it out. IIRC the big one was RB but it's been a long time since MEPS. I'm not even talking about a few people either, I'd say 1 in every 10 dudes I was there with found out they were color blind. Happened to my long time childhood friend too when he decided to join the military. Unless you've been really tested for it there's a decent chance you could in some way be colorblind.

Alright dude who the fuck are you. I lurk 12 hours a day and you post a few times. Are you a merc?

So can having slight color detection deficiencies qualify you as color blind?

...

It fucking sucks but the rest of your life you can say you were a Marine. And that means something.

The most important things you can learn are self-discipline and leadership. Cultivate those two things while you are in, and when you get out you can do anything, doesn't matter what your MOS was.

Do it who wants to have control over their life

>So can having slight color detection deficiencies qualify you as color blind?
Yes. Usually it's very subtle and can even involve specific shades. You'll notice a lot of people have issues after seeing it so often though like civies calling maroon purple.

>The most important things you can learn are self-discipline and leadership
Doesn't take a lot of self-discipline to do what you're told and a terminal lance doesn't really learn a lot about leadership. Everyone has a unique experience though.

Dont listen to the shitbag boot lances in the thread that are too spoiled to be bothered to actually do menial tasks. They'll end up dropping out of community college.


It depends on the job you want. If you want anything other than infantry join the army. As long as you aren't retarded you will pick up rank. Maybe even Sgt by your 4th year. I made corporal without doing a single fucking MCI as an 03 so that tells you how retarded individuals are for getting out as lances.

Pros of the muhreenz
>MEUs.
Everyone I know that is still in is either going to a foreign country or coming back from one

>exchanges
many of the junior guys I knew are getting to go to French Commando School, serving with the Korps Mariniers, or hanging out with the bongistani Royal Marines


Cons
>slower promotion rate than the army

>less career opportunities
If you dont want to be a grunt, the army is the way to go, they are more flexible with career choices
If you dont plan on making it a career it doesnt matter at all were you go to be honest. You'll just end up where everyone in every branch in every job ends up after their 4 years despite the fact that they were "smart" enough to not pick a grunt job.


College.

I'm not enough of a sperg to have a flag collection, but if I did you'd be my first from MauiWowie

I wish I could be a 4 star with a security detail.

>6 year

you deserve it for signing that fucking thing.
