    Going to the marines, just a little ploblem though

    Okay here's the deal. Im 19 and Im going to join the marines, but I have a diploma from a homeschool. My situation is a little different from other homeschooled applicants though. I gained all of my credits to graduate from a traditional highschool and I have the transcript to prove it(let me repeat, I GAINED ALL MY CREDITS FROM A TRADITIONAL HIGHSCHOOL AND I HAVE THE TRANSCRIPT TO PROVE IT) but towards the end of my senior year I had to get my diploma from a homeschool. My question for anyone with experince with these sort of problems, do you think the marines will accept me? I know the army will, because I've already talked to them but I want to be a marine MP.

    Thanks
    Im the kewl guy

    Sgt Lep commentary: (Normally these get deleted but this lad gets the 'full' treatment..so sit back and enjoy!)

    "Ploblem"? As in, spelling? Or did you just fall out of an old "Charlie Chan" movie?

    The 'ploblem' I see is a punctuation, spelling, and grammar deficiency. Where did you get your 'home skool' degree? Out of a cracker jack box? Or on the internetz?

    And here is a newsflash....I've known plenty of kewl guyz....YOU ain't it.

    Go talk to a recruiter. I don't think it matters if those are traditional credits, if the diploma isn't accepted your SOL.

    Also, Marine is to be capitalized.

    Again....Go talk to a recruiter!

    Ok hears the deal kewl guy. I don't know where you went to high school but perhaps you should have been home schooled from the beginning. This site has a spell checker please use it and Marines is always capitalized

    Also, please fill out your profile or Gunny will thump you upside your head. And yes a recruiter is your best source of info re. this matter


    MarinesFTW, how long were you at P-Cola? Just enough time to get into trouble with those 'Bama debs?...

    The username probably translates to "not"
    Not capitalizing "Marines"
    Telling us recruiters' offices are closed on weekends.

    Does not bode well.
    Damn Dave you beat me to it....again....lol!!!

    Lol well for starters no one answered my question thats why I said"thanks" like an *******.Two, be happy I even said thanks to that pathetic answer. Three, i'm not apologizing for not capitalizing the M in "Marine" but I will capitalize it only because IM GOING TO BE ONE.( Just because me not saying "thank you, marine." makes you mad, lets see how ****ed I can get you after you read this pal.)


    ***

    Exactly what we have come to expect from years of gummint, home skool edu-ba-cation. An overweening sense of hubris, arrogance, and attitude when corrected on things that are soley the responsibility of the poster.

    I give this lad the same chances of being a Marine that I would the typical low grade IQ individual with bi-polar, bedwetting, mommie issues.....

    Been here all of like five minutes and acts like a 'salt'. Then again, I'm sure that if I was a "kewl guy" I'd be cocky too.

    Yea lets point out all of the flaws in my forum profile :/ Im pretty sure the Marines pay you to do that. -_-

    Actually, goober, this is a Marine Corps site, recruiting wise. So in a sense, they do. Gee, I hope the kewlness doesn't strike us all down in our sleep.

    Isn't it great to see the 'ute' of today's wonderful attitude? Wow. I feel lucky to have them.

    And yet more grammatical errors as well. Obviously not an "English" major.

    Yea man you missed my 18th birthday, I'm an adult by law now.I don't need a little baby sitter. Go about your buisness(doubting that you have anything serious to handle)

    ***
    An adult 'by law' and yet you post like a 12 year old delinquent who has 'authority' issues and is full of himself.

    My prediction for you?

    The adult detention center looms large in your future.

    Either that, or wielding the large hose off the back of the 'porta potty suck truck'.

    Perhaps...both.

    Just from free advice, this is can be a warm and fuzzy place or it can be a sh$t hole for someone with an attitude. Now to me you just disrespected a Marine and you condescendingly agreed to capitalize Marine. Not a good start

    So I'll ask you one more time if you haven't done so already to please fill in your profile

    Lol thanks for justfying why I need the military. Anyway, I didn't know Marines have trolling as an MOS. what do I need to score on the ASVAB to be one??

    ****
    Far higher than you stand a chance at, I'm afraid. Actually, the military doesn't need, or WANT, you. Even if by some quirk of fate you manage to enlist into some branch or another (you do have to score above a '30' on the ASVAB and I have my doubts about that...), you'll be a 'training drop' long before you graduate. Then you'll get to come home and tell everyone what a 'heeerooo' you were someplace, and several years from now will be one of those pathetic 'wannabees' who gets locked up for wearing uniforms and medals you never earned and don't rate.

    The Marine Corps doesn't pay him at all anymore, he did his time and retired. He comes on here to help out with questions from kewl guys like yourself and asks for nothing in return like the rest of us. All we ask is for is the poolees/wannabes to follow the rules, respect everyone(Marines especially). Watch the attitude while your in here.
