I've got a good a reason... they can keep you indefinantly!!! One man i know of has been there since 2002, and he was supposed to come home in 2005 but the military made him stay. I have nothing against the military, in fact, I admire them (especially the marine core), but if your only reason for going is that you have no reason not to... could you maybe reconsider??

Think I'd commit at least four years to something without having a better reason?

I'm sitting around doing absolutely nothing. The job market's only getting worse, and even now, I'm unhireable. I feel as weak as weak as a fucking kitten, and I'm tired of sitting around eating for no better reason than to stay alive.

I have no money, no car, no motorcycle, no skills, no confidence, no chance, and no hope.

And most of all, I hate this place. I hate Ogden, I hate Utah, I hate it all to the core of my being. It's like being in a stagnant pool of pond scum where no one does anything fun, no one is interested in anything but making babies, and they're all mormons because their parents, their neighbors, their whole goddamn world is mormon.

No, wait, take that last part back. Most of all I hate my mother, I hate my grandmother, and if I don't leave soon I will take my fucking sword and KILL my father.

On top of all that, the only one who gets why I'm so god damned angry is my punk younger brother.

Those fucking bitches have about as much faith in my ability to do ANYTHING on my own as they have faith in the sky falling.

I've been the good son. I've been the good, quiet, respectful, obedient son for as long as I can remember. I have only ever wanted the approval of my dysfunctional fucking parents, and you know what that endeavor has gotten me?

Nothing.
Worse than nothing.

And I'd rather learn to kill people for a living, on my own terms, than go fucking nuts and do on the thing inside me's terms.

Alright alright just breathe... I just had to make sure. I know alot of guys who went into the core just because they were bored or because video games f*cked their minds into thinking killing was regretless and meaningless. that life has no meaning and that they were gods among ants... And I definently didn't think you made this decision without really thinking it through. Your pshycotic parents and grandparent aren't the world, WHEN you get out, you'll find people who appreciate you for what you can do.

Teehee, a furry marine corp.

You seem like the type of guy that loves challenges.

Always looking for constructive criticism on my art. I won't cry at you if you give me constructive criticism. (really!)

Well, dude, I'll assume that you've done your research and that's why you decided to join the Marines.

Basic training sucks ass. Seriously, it does, but it's one of those things that you hate but once it's done you'll feel that little glow inside knowing that you made it. And it feels awesome

Mind you, I was in the Army, but the Marines suck more. Have you decided what job you want? Make sure you research those jobs on your own. Recruiters are not above lying to you, but I take it you already know that.

That said, they need people right now, so you might even be able to choose your station after basic. Just make sure it's in your contract. In fact, any promise your recruiter gives you has to be in your contract, it's the only way.

If you don't mind taking orders and biting your tongue from time to time becaue you'll meet some idiot officers that you'll just want to punch in the face but can't then go ahead.

I don't care if your family thinks you can't do it. Screw them. I'll be rooting for you all the way. Nothing like someone trying to better himself and doing something useful to make me believe in humanity again

It's gonna suck balls, man. But when you're done it's totally gonna be worth it. Even if later you decide that the Marines isn't the place for you after all you'll know that you did something very few manage to finish. And like I said, that's an awesome feeling.

Good luck man, I'm behind you 100%

And a furry marine? That's just made of all sorts of awesome

It is going to be hard, but I'm behind your decision 100%.

I hope all goes well

In fact, I've been thinking about joining the marines myself but I am still undecided/

--

I've been looking into joining the army for a while now, but I keep being steered towards the air force too.

good luck to you though.
