That’s only in times of war. If you’re in the infantry and haven’t been to war, you’re basically a POG no amount of stupidity will make you look tougher.
I bet this guy thinks you NEED to have at least 6 hours of sleep each night Meanwhile me in PEX: 2 hours of sleep in 3 days Vape is about to die from constantly chiefing My monster i packed out busted My skittles bar froze overnight and i still have three days to go
Im going in 6 months after my college graduation. Will be first time experience to go join the marines. Ive been training on my own 6 months. I have 6 more to be peak physical shape
I’m 29 with a masters degree and recently enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. I ship out on April 12th! Update: I’m currently stationed at Camp Mujuk and I hate it here already, but I signed a 12 year contract. I guess I’m stuck here.
When I was a 19 year old CPL I had a guy in my mortar squad who was 28. To us he was old. He had been a high school history teacher. When I asked him why he joined The Corps, he replied "how can I teach history if I never live any of it myself?". That statement has stuck with me for 53 years.
@@Snuffy03 that's the dumbest shit ive ever heard. They make way more and don't have to do dumb shit like field day and gear inspections in the pouring rain or show up to formation 2 hours early
Asked a guy if I should join the military after college he looked me in my face and said he served for 12 years wife cheated on him and took his house. Then he just walked away 😂
@@x_x627 Thank you. But that was actually a line my Drill Instructors used on guys who were married. Those guys always seemed to be worrying about wives and girlfriends at home. According to the DIs, old Jody was always waiting in the wings. Married guys got even worse once they reached the FMF and shipped overseas.
Parents gave this young man golden advice!💪🏾 But the Marine Corps? Folks go Army for the sake of funding and career opportunities.Keep it green though!
You have to be on active duty to be picked for DI or Recruiting duties and you must have stellar fitness reports! Another words the Marine Corps only picks the top 10 percent to be in either of those duties!
That’s not true at all. You need to have a little bit of grit, be physically fit, and not crumble from the artificial pressure imposed by the sgt instructors or evaluators. Everyone I know who failed lacked a combination of these things or were not smart enough/didn’t study hard enough for the fairly easy tests.
@@itsmealex8959 my statement says what you need to make it through the United States Marine Corps’ officer candidate school. My list does not include being D1 caliber athlete. The PT at OCS is fairly easy and none of the physical evaluations are difficult. To be honest, I never found any graded PT event in the Marine Corps to be difficult until I went to BRC. OCS, TBS, and IOC’s graded PT events are not unrealistic for anyone that has above average fitness. Above average fitness is something I expect out of all Marine Corps officers. And you don’t need to be a D1 caliber athlete to achieve this level of fitness.
Is the Lieutenant’s Insignia, a Khaki Insignia? Because that doesn’t seem like a type III, as we call them in the Navy. Then again, I’m a Naval Aviator that’s a Captain. I’m not in the Corps.
We use the same rank on our Service bravo/charlies/dress blue Charlie’s/deltas as the cammies, the coats for service alpha/dress blues get a larger version.
Having a degree doesn't mean you're smart and officer material. I've known a lot of a holes in my past with degrees who literally had no business being leaders.
@@itb4255, 0861. If a guy wanted, or thought he wanted to go to combat it is an action filled position, also it is cool to witness, and be a small part of the operation planning.
@@itb4255 0341. We always had an Artillery GySgt as our op-chief as coordinator. Being an FO then the FDC sure beat the hell out of humping that heavy ass bipod on the gun.
I'm currently 24 and have no goals or ambitions I've had a few jobs here and there after high school but never really pursued college or any higher education I've been interested in the military but don't know if I'd be a good fit. I did see a role in the airforce that looks cool I believe it's called aircraft load master that basically keeps track of cargo going on and off aircrafts does anyone have any insight on what the military has to offer or if it's worth it?
I'm also not very fit I mean I'm 5'11 and 185lbs not out of shape but I'm not very strong I can do 1 pull up as embarrassing as it is but I'd like to get in shape and improve myself I just don't have motivation or am just lazy tbh but I'm at the point in my life I just wanna do something with myself
@blumpous I heard fire fighter was also a good MOS. Running and pull-ups ought to be your go to for physical exercise, you'll be doing those the most. Try to go in prepared, otherwise if you fail the initial strength test, you'll be cut from your training company and sent to physical conditioning platoon, otherwise referred to as porkchop platoon. And that's not a fun place to be.
@@AnakinSkywakka Thank you for the help! And I hear that a lot about coming in prepared, Im currently on a workout routine. I plan on going to the recruiting office soon just to see what could be in store for me.
@@mohamedmaher8112required to be a rifle platoon commander, not exactly infantry, small differences but you’re not an infantry officer unless you go to IOC
