Are you saying the ARMY is easier then the Marines? No F-ing way. You walk past an ARMY soldier on a base, with his pants tucked into his unpolished boots, then you see a Marine walk buy with spit shined boots, and a uniform that has perfect creases in it, and that alone will tell you theres a rather significant difference. Ya it's just a uniform, but that's the life of a Marine. You will be squared away at just about all times. There is no bending the rules. Not for liberty time off, not for a dirty uniform, nothing. You will land at that Kosovo base, but in a beat up ass helicopter, and you will have a perfectly shaved face, because facial hair is not allowed, no questions asked. It doesn't matter if the chopper ride is bumpy, and you have no shaving cream or water. Your shit will be shaved. The Marine Corps is a totally different world then the rest of the branches.

Congrats on your choice man, you picked the top branch of them all. It's true, they brake you down and build you up. But if you think the Bullshit ends after you graduate bootcamp, you couldn't be more wrong. Matter of fact, your "shooting camp" which was called MCT last I heard, was even worse then bootcamp. But until you pick up CPL, expect more bullshit then you ever knew was possible.

I'm not trying to scare you away from it, it's a great thing. It has it's ups and downs, but in the end, when you're all done, it was worth every single shitty paycheck!! Good luck man!!! Semper Fi!!
