im now thinking of joining the marines i talked to a recruter and he told me that it is possible to enlist go to boot then go to college and become an officer. it is suppose to be easy. is there any marine officers here that has done that or any body who could fill me in some when it comes to marines i would even be happy if you knew some one you could refer me to thanks to who ever does have info for me

Don't forget: every Marine is a rifleman. Are you prepared to get down and dirty and qual on an M-16? Do you have the mental and physical toughness to be a Marine?

Not trying to discourage you, but TI had mentioned some of the counseling he's given you, and I want to make sure you're doing it for the right reasons.

yes sir im willing to do all that i kow that it will be hard but i have been to pt with the recrutes here once and i seem to fit in with them beter then ne body and i know they are a proud bunch im going to be doing pt with all male recrutes once a week from now on and i think i am mentally strong enough

You're going to hurt no matter how strong you are. Yeah AJ is right "Every Marines a Rifleman" Not matter what your MOS or rank is you're going to get down and dirty. Now if you want easy join the air for.........nevermind. J/K But seriously the DIs are going to break you and you dont go to basic to have fun.


Every marine recruit goes through this, even if you go in as a officer:

If you mean me then not taken. Like you just said you were just stating the facts.

Well, I guess my recruiting tactics just didn't work...


No offense taken... Proud to be Army.

Someone yelled out, "Army Strong Hooah Sir!" at the LTC during PT this morning...the entire BN just about busted a gut.
