You see the difference here is that the Marine Corps cannot afford any TNT.  All the funding was already spent on expensive things that don't work, like officers.

My grandpa on my mothers side, who was Air Force, would constantly berate my father, who is Marine Corps Lt. Colonel(ret) with jokes about officers, and 'military intelligence' since my dad eventaully became an intelligence officer after 7 years of infantry.

i could tell my father wanted to jump him a few times.

 Sigh. Sigh. Need to keep attacking other countries, or else
 there'll be interdicine fighting between services... Bleh.

 Reminds me of British services freaking out at the creation
 of the Royal Air Force

Well, it looks like my time here is over.  I thought it would be fitting to have my final post on this topic, seeing as what it has turned into.

But with all seriousness, I will miss this forum and its interesting members.  I hope you will all still be here when I return, so that I may destroy you in the field of battle, deep within the heart of Russia.

Ooh-Rah!

Stay Safe, Stay Strong

Semper Fi, Marine.

Enjoy yourself.

Aye, good luck and have fun.

Who knows by the time you get back you might even be playing with the Ostheer

GI John,

As a veteran of U.S. Army 11 Bravo, I would like to advise you that going into marines doesn't make much sense unless you are making a career out of it or going in as an officer.

Anyway, I voted a yes for you because I feel your pain and frustration.

PS: It is not as bad as you think it is to cancel your contract before the actual graduation. Your drill sergeants will make it seem like it is the end of the world, because it is their job to graduate as many enlisted as possible. So if you feel that the core is something that is not right for you, don't be afraid to tell them you are out and come back to the luxury of being a civilian. 
cheers

Why this?

[WartyX]

Damn, the poll has gone positive. We will have to give him the link now. Oh wait...

[CommissarGears]

Dont worry, Warty.  I plan to join the Marine Corps as well! But my deployment is far off.  I'll take it off your hands, like a true friend would.
