joining the marines.

No I was saying Marines/Air Force has it a lot easier than the Army.

OK whatever maybe I'm slow, but it still sounds like you're saying the Marines AND Air Force are easier then the ARMY. I agree the AF is the easiest, but marines is by far the most challenging of any branch. Either way, serving in general is an awesome thing, no matter the branch. Congrats again and good luck!

[Kracka]

From what I've heard and seen, the Marines seems to be the most difficult and extreme branch. Air Force is the easiest....probably leading to my interest in them a few years ago when I figured I'd give it a try.

[cudvig]

yeah the marines is the hardest and smallest branch. I know it will be hard and full of BS. but it will make me a better person.

until someone goes through all of the basic programs for each wing of the armed forces, all this debate is null.

have fun doing physical stuff!

Well, I know a few guys in college who are in the army, and they have friends who are marines, and when the army guys talked about basic training, they said that they probably would have never made it through the marine training.

So to all of my friends in the army, Marines is more hardcore than Army.

My bad.. For some reason I was thinking Marines but I ment Navy/Air Force. Navy is easier. I dont know why I was thinking it was the Marines.

[Shotgun!]

It's not a matter of what branch is "harder". It's what they are used for. Marines have to be more hardcore than standard Army Infantry. This is not to say that the Army doesn't have a bunch of hardcore motherfuckers for when it's needed.

Yeah, I think they were just talking about the training aspect, it was way more physically demanding, longer, and more in depth according to them.

I definately wouldn't want to mess with the army guys even though they aren't as "Hardcore" as the marines.

[Halon]

When I said the Marines were the Hardest, I wasn't saying it meaning "Hardcore, badass, etc". What I meant was Harder as in "Difficult, strict, disciplined". I'd be a complete liar to say that all marines were more HARDCORE then anyone else. I'm sure a Navy Seal would rip me apart. But what I am saying is, if you were to see me and a navy seal next to each other, on base, in our old cammies that required ironing, you would have known right off the bat who was the marine by appearance alone. That's because it's drilled into every marine that their appearance will be above and beyond at all times while in uniform. While the other 3 branches don't require creases in their day to day uniforms, Marines require them in all uniforms, at all times while in garrison. We shine our boots, we iron our uniforms, and we shave daily, and get hair cuts everyweek. If you don't do any of that, you can expect an ass chewing. Anywho, nothing against any other branches. Every branch has it's role, and they do it well. Marines are there to follow orders and do what they are told on the drop of the dime, so it is drilled into their brains at all times even on the most minor shit.

Funny!! I guess I will never know, and neither will this guy joining neither. Because once you've gone through Marine boot camp, you never have to go through another branches boot camp if you ever decide to move to another branch. They accept you as is, because they know you've already had training well beyond the scope of what theirs is.

But if anyone from another branch decides they want to move into the Marines. It doesn't matter how high of rank they had, they will lose their rank and go back to the bottom of the gene pool and become "Recruit" once again, and go through all Marine boot camp just like any other marine has to. The title marine isn't given away, it's earned, no way around it.
