Thinking about the USMC

[doc1buc]

If you are thinking corps, go corps you already sound defensive about associating with them.

[hnoppenberger]

Every branch has options to try for thier elite units, Navy has SEALs, Army has Ranger and SF, even the Air Force has PJs.. if you dont have the confidence in yourself to be one of the truly elite, you could settle for the Marine Corps.

lol i love cavtrooper.

PS- Don't doubt cavtrooper he is the real deal, I hunted with the guy once and he is solid. Hes not a fake.

I'm looking for the same thing and I'm going to college and joining the Corps. Most PDs are looking for people with degrees, and if you're not interested in college then it might make it extremely difficult at this point in time to become an LEO, both because what they expect and from what the job demands

[thebloodsonthewall]

If you are thinking about it, go for it. I was thinking about it for years. I called CavTrooper and he got me set-up. I am in the army and I leave for Iraq in two months.

I think the army is better but that is just my opinion. I am already using my money from the army to go to college. They give me $4500 a year toward my college and it doesn't effect my GI Bill. Go to college, do University of Phoenix, easy as can be. One class at a time for 5 weeks. Don't do it if you are not in the service because it is expensive as ****.

Go call a recruiter and get started. Just talk to CavTrooper and go army.

this dude is always talking **** about Marines. I think he has some sort of inferiority complex. hooah?

yeah, i notice that too

[develown]

Even thou the military has a tendency to screw people over I will admit every one has a point about the education. I joined the army right out of high school and now i am bout to graduate with a four year degree in about a month. The military isn't gonna hesitate to screw you, so get every thing you can from it. I haven't totaled it up, but the college i have taken through army tuition assistance is probably worth about 20k

However, if i were you id find another way to be a cop

Military background is a good way to get your foot in the door in a variety of career fields, just make sure you take advantage of the educational opportunities as well and dont waste your time getting s**tfaced drunk and nailing Thai transvestite prostitutes (I understand thats a favorite pasttime of sailors and jarheads).

^ What's your issue ? You always seem to have a problem with Marines. Maybe if you didn't wear so much rouge some of us jarheads wouldn't pass you up.

[develown]

As far as i'm concerned, marines are just soldiers who cant read. They thought army was spelled N-A-V-Y :P

Hey, I was at a CSMR orientation today. The NCOIC for recruiting is a former career Marine Sergeant Major. He asked if anyone was prior service. One buffed out young guy in front raised his hand...

The Marine said - what branch? The guy says "Army - 12 years - Ranger".

The Marine just smiles and says.....I'm sorry, my condolences.

So I guess this inter service bashing thing works both ways, huh?

In all honesty, The SGM dude was an absolute riot and joke cracker, but he latched onto that Ranger and ribbed the hell out of him the whole orientation.

Yeah,It sure does.I really don't like to get involved in it Myself.
I took My job and time in the Corps. seriously.As I'm sure a lot of Soldiers do too.

When the owner opened up this new forum I asked him about trash talking other branches and as long as its not to the extreme I don't edit or delete the posts or threads.

Veterans should be able to rib another Veteran, its been that way since 1775.

The SGM is my old SGM in that recruiting unit, served with him for two years and recently transferred out to another unit. He's a stand-up guy, and I'm actually surprised you're mentioning that he was cracking jokes because he's usually as serious as cancer.

Anyway, there will always be interservice ball-breaking, it's all good.

He was serious, and the jokes were in the form of extremely dry humor and sarcasm at times. The dude is totally squared away, and definitely had my respect.
