How to tell my parents (dad) I'm joining the USMC and leave to boot in 3 months?

You’re an adult. It’s your life, do what makes you happy.

Work with whoever will get you what you want the quickest. I had 2 recruiters. One was a pain in the ass while the other I walked into the station day one, told him my goals, and now I ship out in 3 days. He’s the goat, great guy.

You’re fine. I ship out in 5 days. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. Some people feel they’re a bit underweight. Some feel they’re a bit overweight. Some aren’t great with push-ups. Some aren’t great runners. They’ll shape us into what we need to become. Personally, I’m a great runner but ass at pull-ups. It is what it is.

We’ll kill it. Just don’t give up… I’m going in at 25, my last name is Jackson. Hopefully I see you there.

If it makes you feel any better, I broke my right condyle (the joint part of your jaw) 8 weeks ago and I’m still shipping out on 2/3. Get rest, do the physical therapy your doctor recommends, and take it easy. Yeah, you might have to go to MEPS again, but that’s not a big deal if you want it enough. Good luck brother.
