QFT I was Classification 1-b on ASVAB, 1st class PFT, 1st class swim, ROTC and college, from a long line of service men and women in my family. Needless to say my recruiter wanted me signed up immediately, and would have gladly given me any job in the service I wanted. I didn't once ever hear mention of signing bonus. (I didn't ask about it, and he didn't mention it.) As far as Marines are concerned, being able to earn the title of Marine is enough of a bonus. That's not to say you can't get a bonus, I'm just saying don't have your mind set on those big numbers you see in the commercials. That is one of the things I would have to speak with my recruiter friend about. I'm sure they offer bonuses for the hard to fill billets, but they don't hand them out like the Army does. This is another good things to speak with your recruiter about. If you want a better chance at an unbiased opinion on it PM me the questions and I will have a recruiter here answer them. He won't be getting the points if you sign up with your local recruiter, so he will give you straight answers.
June 24, 200816 yr go airforce, hott chicks like 40% are women... easy jobs... true dont fuckup or let your drill instrtors know your name, and u wount get picked on much.. dont let them find yr weak spots or your toast.. if u do a tour in iraq, or middleeast. and come back home you make about 30k thats 1year. army is easyer then marines. marines are best of the best.

Say what you want about SEALs or SAS.(you can't even capitalize them correctly...) You are a civilian. Might as well go down to NASA and tell them they are "doing it wrong".

Captian said: In short - don't talk about things you don't know, you will only make yourself look worse. (If that is possible after that comment you just made...) My advice ....... Follow your own advice. Just out of curiosity Mr. Marine Corp , just how long have you been in the service ? Since you seem to be dishing out all this advice ? Zuzu , if you are not planing on doing 20 yrs , your best bet for a career after military service would be in the Air Force , Army or Navy . With those services you have an opportunity to learn a job/career specialty that is transferable into the civilian world . Your opportunities after being a ground pounder for 4 yrs in the Marines are extremely slim .

How long have I been in? I'm not, I just like to play a lot of airsoft.
June 25, 200816 yr Dont join if you're just looking for money and a career. Now is not the time. If you actually wanna go to 'War' then join. Go Marines like most suggested. Im not in any Army, Marines or anything and i never will be. Marines just have more training and more benefits from what ive heard from friends that are in. One guy i know is going to do Seals (sorry if i didnt capatilize it right) He's all about it too. Its your choice. You have to look at this as the rest of your life. So read into it, ask ALOT of questions. Shit sit down and make a list of stuff you want to know and take it the recruiter. Make sure you understand what you're getting into. Just my opinion.

I respect all (even office) pogues but you're not in the position to give advice regarding a service whose title you've never earned. The only field the Marine Corps doesn't offer is medical. The only thing those services can give you that we can't is a check for signing up (for jobs nobody wants to do), and you'll probably spend it within 24 hours of graduating anyways.

You're wasting your time arguing with that kid, brother. His one and only post in here was a personal attack towards me for not knowing about Army bases in Hawaii (never having been stationed there), while all I was trying to do was give out some info. As I said before ZuZu, if you need anything else answered PM me or Lucifuge or one of the others posting in this thread giving legitimate info. (if it is alright with them) I am more than willing to help out anyone interesting in joining the Marine Corp.
June 25, 200816 yr dont join the army....fucking sucks lol. and never i say NEVER raise your hand or opt to go to a specialized position or regiment. i recently just got back into the military from in the army to the air farce. i was with the 160th SOAR stationed at Ft.Lewis....it fucking sucked and so does all the high ranking dicks around the base...i love being an MP now. id say go marines...all my buddies are in the marine corp and they love it and we all have the same views and shit....just dont let b.c. brainwash you into thinking your some invicible fuckhead....youll get fucked up ifso.
June 25, 200816 yr t3hpwnz3r said: thinking your some invincible fuckhead. I remember talks before graduation about not being 10ft tall and bullet proof, lol. I was never that kind of person, but after building you up so much they need to remind you of such things. ;)

I am retired Army Master Sergeant/E-8 with 22 yrs of Service . When I was enlisting after my first year of college (1978) , most of you weren't even born . When any of you posers/military experts think you know more about being in the military ... just let me know . If you don't know something then don't pretend you are an expert .. this includes making ridiculous comments like "you don't think there is any Army in Hawaii" .... Dumbass
June 25, 200816 yr I'm so curious, in your first post you revealed your extremely impressive resume. If you joined the Army in 1978 at ~18, that would make you at least 48 years old right now. So what is a 48 year old former Airborne Ranger with a masters degree doing posting on a website whose sole purpose is to anger stupid people? Your dad/uncle/neighbor/friend of a friend =/= you, sorry kid.

Your dad/uncle/neighbor/friend of a friend =/= you, sorry kid. Lots of OLD guys here sport. Obviously you haven't been around very long to have discovered that ... I was here looooooong time ago when there seemed to be a more interesting bunch of members & forum members . That's probably the reason I stuck around for so long .... There use to be some pretty entertaining posts back then .. now there's just a bunch of wannabes and I rarely check whats going on any more . As for my Resume , it's fact . I collect a nice pension now and I have a rather lucrative General Contracting company now in New England . My experience in the Military didn't do me a helluva lot of good when I returned to the civilian world but I've done well in construction and with my retirement benefits I won't have to worry about health care or paying for an over price HMO . Does that answer your curiosity ?
June 26, 200816 yr You say 82nd AB, and 75th Ranger Reg.(BTW : are you tabbed?) You should stop by the Ranger section of http://socnet.com/ . I am sure there are some people there that you knew from your time in. Link to Ranger board : http://socnet.com/forumdisplay.php?f=42 I will await your introduction/vetting there. (assuming what you say in your resume is true...) Upon verification by Kirk, Sharky, RGR.Montcalm, or one of the other main fellas there I will issue you one hell of an apology here for questioning your credentials. I only do so because I have heard many people claim to be tabbed Rangers, SF, SEALs; and as I personally know at least one person that has served in each of those I like to have people vetted.
