hello marines
I am in need of you guys help. please assist me and answer three questions:
1. Ive been talking with a local recruter and he says i need to go to the "meps" before i can join. he said there is a physical, is it the physical you take in school to play sports? i have diabetes but he said to not mention it because it is mild. But my freind told me i can get kicked out of the military if i lie to the meps. Is that true??
2. I have been looking at MOSes online but i cant decide what i want to do in the marines. Do i get to pick the specific one i want? I cant decide between food servece or tanks. i love to cook but i think tanks would give me a good job when i get out. :tank:
3. I am graduating high school next year (2011) but i only took basic classes, will this affect me? I talked to a navy recruter one time and he said i have to take advanced classes...is that true about the Marines?? I hope not because it is my dream to be a MARINE :flag:
4. How challenging is boot camp compared to the armys basic training? my friend joined the army last year and he says that basic training is not that hard. i dont like that because i want a challenge but at the same time i dont want to die. could i die in boot camp? I have heard of people drowning during the swim test.
Thank you guys for your time MARINES! My questoins may be a little dumb but anyways thanks for all you do.
