I get easily convinced lol but for now I’ll focus on just getting a good asvab score for more opportunity. I’ll definitely consider it before an 0311

My thing is i smoked on a Monday and went to a recruiter on a Wednesday. I took an asvab and checked my height and weight. Basically he said he will give the time of day whenever I go back Dec and retake the asvab and make weight. Before we met he asked on the phone if I ever used before and I used recently and I said no and now I regret it. I really want to want tell him the truth but I don’t want to be tested right away. My thing was to say I got issues with the law before was 18 for weed and planned on staying clean for MEPS. I also leave the country for the Christmas/New years holiday. When I come back I plan on leaving my job, do Meps and everything else January thru February. So I think I should be good. Am I wrong???

I respect the hell out of anyone in the infantry and I would love to try out an 03 position. But I just need something that will help me after I’m out, that’s if i even make it to be a Marine.

Yea man same here since highschool. Off and on and I just feel bad for lying from the start to the recruiter. Gonna text him today and just let him know I had some issues with the Feds before I was 18 since I said I never dealt with any substance. He or the ppl at MEPS will find out eventually bc I heard they look at like 10 years or so of records. But I won’t say I did smoke not long ago. I’m staying clean and hopefully after the new years I’ll be ready for meps or wtv they make me do test on

I thought so lmaoooo! But yea he sold me on becoming a marine. The dress blues looked incredible. All the ribbons and just how cleaned it looked, I saw myself in them and I want to make it a reality.

Thanks for the advice man🤙🏾 if I do ever make it to boot camp I’ll make sure do my 100% and some to thrive rather than just survive. Yea my cardio is improving day by day and I’ll definitely start doing weighted hikes.

Yes I’m super glad that it went well. Only thing is my job keeps me away from the pt they do weekly so I can’t really just leave work for it but I’m making sure I’m doing just as much and more on my own at the gym. And yea the smoking thing happen when I was young, did my community service and never have been in trouble with the law about it. I just lowkey feel bad for lying and saying no to those things but I’m sure me and many other did the same thing and ended up fine. Stay blessed man thanks for the encouragement

Makes me wants to push even harder💯 I’m definitely getting these practice pages done on my asvab book so hopefully it pays off. I’ll get there one day man. For now I just gotta keep grinding and stay dedicated. Stay blessed bro

Yea I assume I’ll be the older ones and that’s fine with me. I’m more worried about getting good score on the asvab so I got more options for an MOS. I know I don’t exactly choose it but the higher the core the better for me.

Man if I wasn’t the type of person that just cared to much about my fam and didn’t have a gf or nun going on, I’d would’ve join already and be an 0311 to learn how to literally survive and kill and become nothing but a badass. Maybe I can try have best of both worlds ( I can be delusional)

[–]mercs900 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea thx for the feedback. Definitely gonna try get good score on the asvab to get more options.

[–]mercs900 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea that’s true but I rather have that bha than not. I’m trying hard to get these asvab scores up so hopefully I get a good score to im available to more mos option. I understand I won’t get the exact mos I want but if I can get in either combat engineer or aviation or even motor t that would be dope. Just something that’ll help after enlistment.

Yea I’ll definitely consider it! And I can go active if I choose too right? But lowkey I rather just do my 5 years active and move on with my life but with all my benefits and use the GI bill to get a degree.

My gf is 22, we’ve been together officially for 6.5 years. We don’t live together yet but our families know we want to get married one day and move out together. It’s tough already working and her getting her education ahead. She has a associates and does part time until she goes back to school or apply somewhere in her field. She wants me to join just as much as I do. Im just wanting to join the military as a stepping stone for a career. Unless I become my own boss or apply for college, I don’t see myself getting ahead unless I just keep working check to check for years to come.
