To introduce myself here my name's Denton, I am a prior Active Duty Air Force member. I have been out of the force for slightly over a year working as a Class A Security officer in Kansas City, Missouri. Not a glorious or even slight entertaining job at the least. I have been looking at joining in Active Duty Marine for sometime now and I am honestly just needing some good old fashion non-biased advice. I have been getting crap from everyone after I tell them I am looking at hitting the core, since I was Air Force. Anyways enough crying here, here's what I am wanting to know.
Besides knowing rank structure and the usual bits what I am needing to know here or be aware of when going to boot? Since I have already been through a type of boot camp some Marines have told me its just learning more so breaking me down again. I got out of the Air Force as an E-3 due to the cuts going on due to the budget. I honestly just need some down to earth advice on what I will expect differently as I have been in active duty environment plus other bits.
Thanks for anyone willing to help me, even though I was Air Force (Home of the whiners)
(no offense to anyone with the Air Force comment as I was Air Force)
