If you want to join just to help out your country i would go Air Force unless you really like the Army/Marine way of life. I know a lot of other guys wont like it but ive been to the desert 4 times (short trips, 10-30 days) and i stay in military hotel with heating, AC, and clean bathrooms while the Army guys were in tents, maybe i just dont like roughing that much but it made me respect what the Army guys have to deal with but it also made me happier with the military branch choice i made 5 yrs ago. Just my oponion

That would be worse than 20/20.
20/15 is better than 20/20.
I have 20/15 but I have no interest in sniper or fighter pilot. Although the shooting part of sniper school I'd pass without a problem.

Since everyone is bitching about recruiters,
First off, a recruiter is a human being. And like any human, they have a personality. Unfortunately, some are out for a status or RING, to say. And they will do everything and anything to earn the Ring or the Recruiter of the year. As we know it, a "cheesedick". They will do immoral and ingorant things.
Then on the other hand, you have recruiters like Duece, who see an immoral shitbag, and doesn't want anything to do with him.
It's bad enough that we are getting 40 year old privates let alone shitbag highschool kids who don't even know the meaning of work (playstation generation)
No cellphone and no Ipod, they're lost and wanna commit suicide.
Damn, if I knew you were at the briefing in DC, I would have said hello.
Besides, it's based on a certain structure from many of the SOF's but like any Marine structure, it will be one all their own. I can say that it looks very promising. And from the looks of the motivation of applicants, SEALs better train harder.

Force Recon has always been here we are finally getting noticed and put to work for a real command that will use us a heck of a lot more strategically than the Corp does!

If you have a college degree you can become an officer. I am a Sgt in the Marine Corps. I work in Aviation Ordnance. If I were you I would try to become a Officer and fly. Aviation is the best way to go if you want to join the military. You don't have to put up with as much crap as the groundside.

I'm sorry... very, truly sorry. I have reread all of the posts, and I certainly went "off the deep end". I belong to another Military forum, and was involved with a bunch of hotheads who were absolutely trashing the Army on behalf of the Marines and I ignorantly allowed it to spiil over onto this site. Inexcusable. I hope I haven't made any life-long enemies, and I would hate to go to an LS1 gathering and have 50 Marines taking turns putting pop-knots on my head. 49 Marines, I could handle, 50 ... (HA HA hee hee... uh <ahem>) Anyway, I understand if some of you think I'm a jackass, I just ask forgiveness, I allowed myself to become one of the hotheads I was so mad at.

But what do I know Im only in an Airborne Infantry unit I have never worked with any spec-ops units. On the ground doing intell SF all the way. In the water SEALs. Downed polit PJ's. And of course if you need intell and a target taken out Force Recon. But more FYI when you go "IF" you want to be high speed Look for the guys with suba bubbles and halo wings there the cream of the crop those are two of the toughest schools in the millatry you will not see to many of those.

SFC I in no way think your a jackass, 22 years served buys you extra cool points with me at least! And do not let Marines fug with ya most of us live to get a raise outta someone, we are bastards but that is kinda what makes us good. Being away from the Corp has mellowed me and same with my friends that are out now( most at least, lol). We all have a common enemy and he serves under no US Military branch. So to all the Armed Forces keep your dicks in the dirt and leave them hurt!!

haha, you've earned some major cool points with the statement because anyone can blow thier top erroniously but it takes a real man to take some criticism and see that he was wrong and apoligize for it! I'd go to the combat zone with a man like that anyday no matter what branch
