I fear that with fag's being allowed to join now that we'll be getting more questions like this.

Fags have always been allowed to join. Now its just open. Any other bridges you wanna burn?

So I am smart and capable but I lack focus and direction. I have been admonished against joining the Marines in the past because they will "make me into a marine", but I do not see this as a negative. A few members of my family have served in the military and this has been a positive life choice for them, and I have yet to meet a Marine I did not like. I am 21, like to work outdoors with my hands, and can learn and follow instructions. I do think that I would benifit from being allowed to serve my country.

This all being said i have a request: I want you to scare me away from the Marines. Tell me why I should not join, or would not want to. I have heard some sad and questionable things about how our armed service members have been treated in recent years and would like to know if they are true or just fearmongering. I am not looking for abuse, I am looking for informed opinions.

Respectfully awaiting responses, and Thank You in advance

Son you came on here like you were the cock of the block ( old Texas saying...lol) But when things didn't go your way, as in you didn't hear what you wanted to hear, you caved. I think you would have gained some measure of respect by toning down the bravura and simply be yourself. Why didn't you come back and post? Son, you're not any military material let alone a Marine. Go find something to do you're good at........besides whining

I think he got scared away. Job well done.

I have been told to go do my homework, this is good advice and I intend to take it. Thank you all and I am sorry if I have misstepped, it was in ignorance, not malice.

Really?!?!

I'm with Marine84. I already dropped the F bomb in 7 font this week. I'm just going to give thumbs up on other's remarks. So....

I'll tell ya how we learned about the Marines...We joined. Regardless of what anyone else may have said about the Marine Corps, or what we may have read, we joined. We served our country with honor and integrity, and we moved on with our lives. We do not come together in these forums as survivors of some horrendous tragedy. We come together here as brothers and sisters who dug deep and earned the title of Marine. A title which stays with you to the streets of heaven. For all of eternity. We come here to celebrate each other and the esprit de corps that we all still have. Becoming a Marine isn't something you can be told about. You have to seize the opportunity if it presents itself to you, and kick its azz. Become one of us. Otherwise, you will never understand.

Ah crap I aint seen Sally 4 EVER!

I hear that she's in a nursing home just outside San Diego ... has a rep for hitting on the male nurses, and salty old Marines ... lol, good ol' Sally

====================
To the OP .. If you want to join the Marine Corps, then just do it!

[USMC2571]

You want us to tell you why you should not join the Marine Corps.
This is a new kind of bizarre thread, but we're getting used to them.

How about this. That if you want us to scare you away from the Corps, all we have to do is tell you that you are not Marine Corps material.
The whole premise of your post is strange, instead of just asking folks, hey ,what are the downsides of joining up, you put the burden on US to come up with reasons that will scare you away? I don't think so.
Next time you have a question, word it in a sensible way, you probably won't get your balls busted quite as much.

You don't want us to tell you why you should join, you want us to tell you why you should NOT join.
That is just plain bizarre, but I'm no longer surprised by any threads on this forum.

Here's another bridge; stop being such an assshole.

[Patriot90]

I have put my foot quite a ways into my mouth with this thread, so all perceptions of false bravado or trolling aside, I am very interested in joining. The question it seems I should have asked was put very well by Dave a few posts back, so here it goes: Besides the obvious hardships accociated with military service, what are the detractors from joining that would not be considered by individuals who have little or no experience with the military? I am only trying to make an informed decision.
