I went to PI and punched out the first guy that yelled at me so they made me a DI. Later, I did some super secret shit. Above Top Secret stuff. I'd tell you but then I'd have to kill everybody on here. Then they sent me to the Pentagon to mellow me out and the Commandant and Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps both yelled at me and I punched them both out. They sent me to the brig but I punched everybody out and walked away.
But for real, I started as a grunt in the Reserves and shipped over to active duty to work on radar and IFF. Good times? Yeah. Bad times? Yeah. Would I do it again? Fo shizzle. |

You have to join up, to see what it's like.

F-16 Pilot. Korean campaign, Desert Storm, and other hotspots around the world. I also have hours in the A-10 over central Germany.
I figure I was at least a Major considering how many times I crashed or was shot down and got to keep flying.

I joined because my recruiter said I could fuck Miss USA http://pic80.picturetrail.com/VOL965/4056977/23525913/396948247.jpg J/K I was told the same, except with the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. All they did was call me "sweetie" and take a picture with me at the USO. I'd rather have Andre Arlovski come back for a second tour so I could grab his ass the next time. Such a rip off. Bunch of fucking lies.

I have been to his ship and spoken with people he knows about what they do, and what they're trained to do vs really do and ect and figured I would send the question out into the world to get a more broad response. But, I'm not real familiar with anything outside of Navy (but, both Grandfathers were Army) |

I started out as a technician on toilets and decks. Worked my way up to garbage and vacuuming. Finally got to taking care of booboos and changing diapers. Very similar career paths. Started out scrubbing algae off of submarines, chasing rust and cleaning C-G-U-11's shit.... Then went to band aid and boo boo school and learned to change bedpans, all while marching and carrying heavy items. |

I joined but only because it was quicker path to citizenship. I joined up with one of my former high school teachers in his Roughneck's platoon. Ain't gonna lie, it wasn't easy and wasn't quite what I had expected. The worst was losing my girl to the pretty boy flight officer. Pffft, you had it easy. My drill sergeant threw a knife into my hand and I got passed over for promotion for some prettyboy no talent asshat. |
