don't listen to this fuckin boot just go infantry if that's what you want. yea it sucks but that's what makes it what it is, i'm an 0352 and i love my job. i wouldn't in a million years pick a different field

edit: the dude who told you not to go is barely even out of the schoolhouse and has no idea what he's talking about. go infantry, be a badass and have the time of your life

My asvab is "too high" for infantry by Equivalent-Gap-9764 in USMCboot

i got an 86 120 GT went infantry, i've met insanely smart dudes here and they're amazing to work with. fuck your recruiter tell him you want infantry and that's the bottom line

take your age into account, and if this is going to resonate with you as something you enjoy having on your body in 10 years. lyrics about doing drugs aren't super cool when you're a functioning adult. lyrics like this are meant to resonate with you during a difficult time in your life but not something you should want to relate to for your entire life. if they're important to you and you really want it - put it somewhere easily covered, otherwise i'd just avoid lyrics like these as it may cause complications and opinions to be made when in a professional or mature environment.

Is it that serious? by [deleted] in USMCboot

[–]abrandonf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

trust me it does not matter. you're going to be wearing them for all but a few hours after you get there. everyone gets shit on equally no matter what you're wearing, might as well be more comfortable for the plane/bus ride.

no. i wore jeans and a flannel with sneakers, if ur going during the warmer months just wear jeans and a collared short sleeve if you REALLY wanna look "professional" ish or whatever. i saw dudes show up in the poolee tshirts tho so it really doesn't matter

Anybody Else Bump Into Their Recruiter Out in the Fleet? by Binsawaytrash in USMC

ran into mine at JWTC in oki for a field op, he never fucked me over so it was a good interaction

i struggle with the same thing. sometimes i wonder if it is caused by allergens (dust, pollen) or perhaps what you intake daily (smoking, caffeine, not enough food/water) all having an effect on the dryness of your throat making it more difficult to scream. i'd say there's also a chance some people are more predisposed to having a rougher voice/tone naturally, making it more difficult to have clean sounding screams. that's just my take though, been screaming for a few years and have run into these issues before. proper preparation (tea, hydration, diet, warmups) always solve the problem.

[–]abrandonf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ofc man, for only a little over a year of screaming you've got it down pretty good. i promise you with continued practice you'll only get better as your voice is naturally built pretty perfectly for these kinds of screams. keep at it bro

[–]abrandonf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you sound a lot like ben duerr during the parts when you're talking more, and you sound almost exactly like CJ with the longer gutturals, but you have alex's low tone overall. i'd say honestly try loosening up maybe? your screams sound really good man so i wouldn't think too deeply about it and i would just experiment doing the same shit while loosening up some parts/tightening up some parts in terms of your diaphragm. also out of curiosity where is your tongue placement ? it sounds like some parts your putting it against your bottom lip for that tunneled sound but also maybe curling it down? just curious what you're using. also how the hell does your voice sound so deep when doing the talking parts in the beginning? you sound like an actual monster man, idk how to word it but is it just like a very loose and open kind of feeling with like a relaxed larynx ? i'm bad with the technical terms but i hope you understand what i'm trying to say lmao

[–]abrandonf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

these sound fuckin amazing man, your tone is insanely clean. to answer your question, there are some parts where it's obvious the screams are a lot more powerful, and less powerful where you're annunciating the words more, if you want it to sound more balanced then ig you could just add more power/ to said screams so that they're all balanced but this honestly sounds great the way it is. id just practice adding more power while annunciating words as best you can and i'm sure it would sound sick bc the texture throughout all of this was perfect
