Hello everyone. I was wondering why people join the infantry, knowing that they will get nothing in return when they become a civilian. I asked mr Army JROTC instructor who did 20 years of service (MOS infantry). He gave a speech saying that he had joined the military because he thought he was an outsider(loser) throughout his life. But he then said he realized he was very wrong and that the infantry showed him that.
My reason for wanting to do combat is so it can roughen me up and show me some rigors that I will not experience anywhere else. I see that Marine Corps as a life journey where I can learn many things. Combat is something you can't experience anywhere else except the military. My question is this, what motivated you all to do combat? and why?
