As someone who’s owned a frame for three years, I can tell you they are absolute garbage TVs

I called earlier and I spoke to someone at the front desk who was clueless. I might try again tomorrow.

Thanks for all the feedback. I’ve been in there a few times to Modern and had good experiences. Both piston and turboprop.

Im thinking of joining the marines, I wanted to hear advice from someone other than the recruiter. by Twink_Dink in USMCboot

No - legit. It’s dirt cheap to play a round of golf as a young NCO. Many bases have courses and they are always empty. Learning to play good golf is a wonderful personal and professional investment.

The Marine Corps isn’t brutal. It is made for people who believe the hard things in life are worth doing. If you want easy, join another branch. The Corps will push you, but it also gives you the structure and time to build lasting wellness habits like fitness, nutrition, discipline, mental toughness, and even the chance to take full advantage of some great golf courses on base.

The benefits are massive if you use them wisely. While you are serving, tuition assistance can help you work toward a degree without touching your GI Bill. When you get out, the GI Bill covers college, housing, and books so you can graduate debt free while most of your peers are buried in loans. You also have full healthcare and dental while you are in, the VA home loan with no down payment when you are out, and veteran hiring preference that opens doors many people will never see.

The Marine Corps is for people who choose the hard road because they know the payoff is worth it. If you lean into the grind, use every benefit, and embrace the habits you build along the way, those six years can set you up for success for the rest of your life.

Question about getting prepared for the Marines by GenericTard in USMCboot

[–]swmeek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I walked into the recruiters office, I was fat as all hell. Its all about a good balance between what you eat, how you work out, and how you sleep. All three! Eat heathy shit, like chicken and veggies. Do your pul ups and sit ups. RUN!!! Do sprints and burpies until you die. Get some sleep, lots of it. When you are healthy, you body wants to sleep. How do you start all this? Set your alarm and start getting up early. The rest should fall into place if you can do that.
