Just joined the US Air Force!

I have talked to quite a few Marines, and almost all of them have said they wished they chose a different branch. Marines are WAYYYYY too fucking Military for me. I would love to go through Marine bootcamp though! Tough as hell, but you get so much god damned combat training!

Ahhh, yeah, combat training.... Its a good feeling to know you can put rounds on target at 500yds accurately...... Kinda makes those redneck stories of shooting a deer at 150yds with a scope seem stupid.

I agree that a majority of the Marines are a little over the edge. Fortunately I was in an MOS where you had to be somewhat intelligent, and we called each other by our first names (which is a big no-no to the hoorah hard core type). Made my experience a great one. If I had an MOS where I was surrounded by mo-tards, my experience would have been different I'm sure. So don't group all Marines into one category, there were a few, of "the few", that didn't eat and breath the Hoorah lifestyle.

Good luck though man. It's all in what you make of it. You'll have some opportunities that are damn near endless, and get to see things others typically never get to see. You'll have a blast!!

I think my head LITERALLY just exploded at this statement..... I didnt even think the wingers did that.

I was a Winger, in an Air Traffic Control detachment. We were pretty much on our own. The 35 or so of us in our detachment, were pretty tight knit and really never had much to do with the rest of our Squadron. It was pretty nice!

Man, im in the Air Force now. You had better pick a job you want to do or you WILL be a cop. The AF is not what it used to be. We are more books and regulations then we are "military". Dont get me wrong, I love the air force, but think about what job you want to do. The whole "I am guaranteed" thing, just let that go as it is so not true. Good luck with it.

[Tizzle]
