what do ya think about the army or marines?

[MR. TYPCEE]

one thing to consider is ive been with my wife for a little over 3 years now. during those 3 years i was at boot camp for three months, mct for 1 month, mos school for 2 months, and then deployed to iraq for six months. im going back to iraq in august for another 7 months. So basically, you WILL spend time away from the people you love (if that matters to you).

REAL TALK. IVE BEEN WITH MY FIANCE FOR 3 YEARS NOW (SHES MILITARY TOO). I WAS WITH HER FOR MAYBE 5 MONTHS...DEPLOYED TO IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN FOR 13 MONTHS...CAME BACK, SPENT FOUR OR FIVE MONTHS WITH HER (2 OR 3 OF THOSE I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS COPING WITH WHAT I WENT THROUGH AND GETTING USED TO THE STATES AGAIN...COULDNT WALK ON ANYTHING BUT PAVEMENT OR WALK DOWN A QUIET STREET FOR ABOUT A MONTH...ASK THEM OEF VETERANS!)...AND NOW SHES IN KOREA. SHES GETTIN BACK IN ABOUT SEPTEMBER (HOPEFULLY) AND IM LEAVING TO NORTH IRAQ AROUND THE SAME TIME. LIKE YER BOY SAID THOUGH...UPS N DOWNS...ME PERSONALLY, I WOULDNT TRADE MY EXPERIENCES FOR THE WHOLE FUCKIN WORLD.

 

[MR. TYPCEE]

SHIT..MY MOS..31R...OUR LIFE EXPECTANCY IN A TIME OF WAR WAS SUMTHIN UNDER A MINUTE...

BACK IN MU'FUCKIN VIETNAM WAR N SHIT. BACK WHEN FOOTPRINTS WERE DETECTABLE IN A RADAR. A TRAINED ENEMY LIKE VIETCONGS COMPARED TO IRAQI INSURGENTS ARE NIGHT AND DAY. YOURE FIGHTING LITTLE COWARDS IN THE STREET NOW. THOSE MOTHER FUCKERS ARE GETTIN BULLIED NOW. SMALL CHANCE YOU DIE OUT THERE. YOURE EITHER IN THE WRONG PLACE AT THE WRONG TIME (AND THATS THE WAY IT GOES SOMETIMES...SMALL CHANCE) OR YOURE FUCKIN STUPID (PFC LYNCH'S STUPID FUCKIN ASS).

P.S. MY FAULT ABOUT SCATTERING POSTS. I KEEP READING SHIT AFTER I POST. SWEAR THIS IS THE LAST ONE!!!

wrong there buddy, I have been stationed at a army, navy, air force, and marine base. All branches offer the same jobs (MOS) and exact same pay. None promote faster, its all about your specialty and how that field promotes, you cant group the whole army or air force into a branch that promotes faster. thats way off the mark, i used to be a recruiter out of san jose on mckee rd

well the army does make rank a little faster for example I have been in the air force for a little over 3 years and I have not even got to test for E-5 yet and when I do test this year if I make it will be past my four year mark until I would put it on and I have met a lot of army and marines that have E-5 a lot faster than that

 

[MR. TYPCEE]

IM E-5 THIS MONTH.

Sorry man, but that statement is untrue. My brother who is in the army made E-5 with only 3 years in. In the Air Force you can't put on E-5 until you have at least 4 years in. Also, with the air force you have to take a test on your career field, which you don't have to in the army.

whos your boy?

[Raider Rick]

i say fucc em.. they tell ya exactly wut u wanna hear but flake on half tha shit they tell u.. my bro was a marine for 5or 6 yearz, they told em they'd have a profession-related job waitin 4 him when he was out... he works at home depot. so yea, fucc em.

but much love 4 any1 who'z out there fightin 4 tha country..

ANYONE WHO WAS IN THE MARINES FOR 5 OR 6 YEARS IS A FUCK UP AND GOT BOOTED OR INJURED. THEY ONLY OFFER 4 YEAR CONTRACTS, U CANT SIGN UP FOR 5.

 

[mrskrilla]

All I know is that hella cats that I've met went to the military and ain't got shit. They basically got the same things from going there that they would have gotten without going. They come back out and work at the same bullshit jobs that they would have had in the first place. Those who are in the military and are being successful, keep doin ya thing.

WELL I HAVE A HIGH SALARY TECH JOB, AND ITS ALL BECUASE I JOINED THE MILITARY FOR 4 YEARS AND LEARNED SOMETHING....

 

[Por la Fuerza]

Yup. If you score an IT job with security clearance, you're going to be able to name your salary when you become a civilian.

If you're infantry or a rifleman, you can wash dishes when you get out. BUT...that's where the college money comes in. Even as a rifleman, you get a cool $35,000. Pick up a stupid little AA or AS and you'll be where you need to be - without the student loan debt that hangs over so many people.

 

[Jae iLL]

WHAT?!?!

Damn Jae, I did not see this coming from you at all.

yea, me neither.. It took a long time before I made this decision, but I made it for certain reasons. A lot of the homies is saying shit, some are understanding, but it's whatever, I made this decision for my own reasons.

yea fam....the air wing is all 5 year contracts. plus if you get special orders like MSG duty you might have to extend a year or two; however, most people who are in for 5 or 6 years were NJP'd 27 times and their seperations papers didnt go through fast enough...
