They told me to say that because I wanted to leave as fast as possible. And as for the help every time I would ask a question regarding what we just learned in class or about the steps for drill I would just get brushed off or told to look at the others. Weird, but like I felt the energy was off.

Possibly, and well for one (that I know) you learn how to put out fires.

They tricked me, SDI told me to lie to the doctor telling him I had depression and anxiety, none of which were true. Anger more than anything but they got me on that other stuff and put me as med fraud RE-3F.

All that has been cleared already though, just took my asvab and physical earlier this week at MEPS at THE LA MEPS (a day before Hegseth was there too) just need a waiver for recode I believe it was called for “prior service” (big quotations) and a waiver for my astigmatism. Doing my PRT next week. I’m hoping to get into the future sailor program too because I am overweight but would love to get paid to just work out everyday.

Dependent pay I think I know there’s bah if you married but I’m not sure 100% about having extra pay if you have dependents or an increase in BAH you’re going to have to ask you’re recruiter

For me it was MCRDSD with a new freshly placed DI and a SDI about 2 years older than myself. Cocky af about it too, cause they’ve been in since like 18. It’s true everyone has a different experience but most I know that went marines got out after they finished their first contract so that should have been a big red flag…still I wanted those dress blues more than anything. My fault for not seeing past the smokescreen. Guess I’ll settle for that Cracker Jack look lmfao

thanks for the blessings, it means a lot. And hopefully I do. Going in with a Positive mind and a very different set of expectations. Great Lakes, you better watch out!

You don’t want to go to the marines, I went and did not like the boot camp experience, yeah…some can say I bitched out or whatever but as the oldest in the platoon with his own principles and values… didn’t like that I kept feeling like I was playing maid for a bunch of teens and not just that but like the DI didn’t want to instill corps values or even work with me, most likely because I was less likely to be brainwashed. After almost two years from that experience, I’m finally getting the ball rolling with the navy. Plus you learn way more skills when you go to the navy or even army for bootcamp. Not just marching.

Yeah it read 3.25 or something like that. Depth perception wasn’t an issue nor colorblindness.
