Just got off the phone with a Marine Recruiter

They'll be waiting to pull my ass out from 4th or 5th block.

Still waiting on my ASVAB score, I am really hoping I scored at least a 35 or a 36.

Good luck as a marine.

Genuine question: How do you process knowing that the war you'll be sent to is most likely a waste of time and will arguably make the world worse:

Vietnam, Iraq, staying in Afghanistan past Bin Laden's death, etc.

Or the war is done for political/corporate goals that zero have benefit to the average American:

Korea, Gulf War, WW1, all the mini-invasions done against Latin America in the 1800s and 1900s.

You can see why the Iraq war generation (my generation) is so pessimistic on the military

I could never pass the physical tests lol.

But my country doesn't realy have remarkable marine corps since our navy is a joke, so there's that too.

But yes, good luck!

Easy: I'm a dumbass and patriotic as hell, that's why I want to join the marines lol (hopefully I wont have to live off of crayons)

Sure, I will probably lose people and see some pretty awful shit. Top that with the chance I wont ever come home, but that's a risk I'm willing to take

Think about Mongolia and other land-locked countries

Fair enough, dude. Our country definitely needs people like you.

Keep us updated on you joining the marines!

Hopefully they send me on the next bus to boot camp next year.

Not only do I wanna serve my country, I wanna protect those around me and earn the title of being a Marine
