    I never knew what I was geting into and it sure wasn't what I expected. However I'll never regret joining, the Corps made me grow up and shapped my life to this day.

    my son is a recent graduate from mcrd san Diego. after boot leave he went back to the same place, ironically. because during recruit training the week before they went to Pendleton he broke his leg, then 3 fucking months later he was rolled back into a platoon, made it to the crucible then broke his foot on the other leg, on the first day, but he kept his mouth shut, because there was NOTHING that would have drug him off that hill, as soon as he was given his eg&a and their little ceremony, they came and took him in. he didnt get to march in the graduation parade, but after two full cycles, he was ready to get the hell out of there. plus he had his eg&a, he had made it, he was a MARINE. the ONLY thing he EVER wanted to be since he was 6 years old. its the only thing he wanted to ever be. but now, he setting in bmp, just hating life again. but hes really close to getting passed up, likely this wed. so fingers crossed, hell begin to do the "marine stuff" that he is soo hungry for. thank you for your service.

      Damn he sounds like a fighter! Give him my best. Staying positive is key! He sounds like a hell of an individual and it seems like you raised him right! He just needs to not let this shitty unfortunate situation get to him. Best of luck to him! Semper Fi!🇺🇸

      Hell yea bro, Semper Fi! How was it? Probably nothing like you expected.. If you’re interested, you should join the Discord Community. I’m trying to get Marines in there to help with questions. You could give some great advice to those who are still in the process! discord.gg/qjGW9S9bq3

    Networking is number 1. My post Corps career was more successful than anything I could have done if I stayed in my hometown.

      I had buddies that talked shit about me being so outgoing in the Corps. They’d always give me shit for talking to people and getting to know everyone. It’s not about what you it’s about who you know! Thanks for the comment and Semper Fi, brother!🇺🇸

    yes I'm glad I joined the marines back in 2008 and got out in 2012 the benefits worked in my favor at the end regardless of the tough training, deployment and even some bad leadership while I was in

    Join the marines infantry or go to college for archeology, I’m stuck idk what to do. Both will take 4 years of my life and both guarantee nothing after. I’m so stressed about this. I really just want to earn money and feel passionate about it I don’t want to hate my job. I want to make mom proud. I’m 21 y/o

      I’m halfway through my contract and I would say do it because you do not wanna live life with regrets later down the road. Use the military as a stepping stone

      It seems like the Marines have more cases of that kind of stuff happening than in any other branch. Most Marines I see do 4 years or less and then get out.

    What was your rank when you were pulling in $1800 to live other than barracks? Did u mention u were married to make that much or as a single marine?

    • @ForTheCorps
      @ForTheCorps  2 года назад +2

      I was married receiving a housing allowance.

    Hey man how long did it take to have your wife live with you after graduating bootcamp?

    • @jakeevans5918
      @jakeevans5918 2 года назад +1

      Also I’m interested in joining the infantry so would that mean it would take longer for us to qualify for BAH?

    • @ForTheCorps
      @ForTheCorps  2 года назад +1

      Once you hit the fleet she can move out. And BAH is given to married Marines. Not sure if you’ll receive it while in Boot Camp if you’re married before you join though!
