Well friends. I'm scared. I got a week left before leaving to boot camp. Any words of encouragement before I enter hell?
>>713412600
What branch?
>>713412600
Stop being a pussy. You signed the papers
>>713412600
Careful not to drop the soap whilst in the shower. The first weeks initiations are a bitch.
Phrased a bit differently, you're going to be the Initiation Bitch.
Thank you in advance for your service.
>>713412600
Just don't quit midway like a bitch, drill sergeants will destroy you and make you stay for the full two and a half months anyway. Better to just stick to it.
>>713413328
this person never went to Marine bootcamp
no such thing as "initiation bitch"
fuck you, pog
>>713412600
come one you apes do you want to live forever
give em hell johny
>>713412600
Don't be a puss. Basic isn't that bad just shut your mouth and do what they say and you'll be fine.
Jesus don't be a faggot. The shit isn't hard....fuck...
>>713412600
cya later, space cowboy
You can still back out.
>>713412600
I'm going to boot camp in the middle of the summer. Enlisting this Wednesday
>>713413786
>shut your mouth and do what they say
this
>>713414079
nice feet
>>713414079
nice feet
>>713412600
Why are you doing it?
>>713412600
Parris Island or San Diego?
Sgt, USMC here. Keep your head low and fly under the radar. You do NOT want to have any attention on you.
Don't lose shit. Do NOT NOT LOSE YOUR FUCKING GEAR.
Keep pushing, and don't psyche yourself out. When you are at your most stressed, take a step back mentally and remember you are in a game. Boot camp doesn't last forever, and it gets better when you're through
Semper Fi
It really isn't that bad, just really long. Find out which company is directly ahead of you in training and every time you do some new part of training you'll remember watching them do it and how far away it felt and realize that time is actually going by pretty quick.
quit now sheeple
>>713412600
You'll come out either mentally stronger or weaker for it. Focus on coming out stronger. Don't let them break you. Laugh at the stupid shit. Don't have a panic attack every day. Take it a day at a time and it will go by faster than you think.
Really though don't lose gear. I honestly think that boot camp is the one place it's okay to steal, simply because everyone else will steal from you. Had a squad leader steal my rifle cable lock in second phase. I never stopped getting fucked up for that
>>713412600
The marines are for faggots with mental issues.
Every former marine i met is the biggest bitch/pussy on the planet. Before joining they were just faggots.
No matter how much they scream at you, always refer to yourself in the first person as "I," never "this recruit," they'll respect you for it.
>>713414631
listen to this guy. basic/boot doesn't last forever. just don't bitch out and definitely don't lose anything. once you're at your first unit, it'll be funny stories, no one will want to hear.
Jeezuf effin christ. Basic is easy as shit. The worst thing is lack of sleep. I used to have a rubber tank model throen at my head for falling asleep at a class. Also, guard your chow. Eat fast. The guys in your platoon will try to steal your food. Fire watch sucks. Get two pairs of boots. One you polish and leave em in your locker. Never wear em. Wear only one pair out in the field. Basic is just like county. The first ahole to fuck with you, just haul off and slug him. Even if you you lose, they know you will throe down. Dont let th DS learn your name. They will always pick on the guy they can remember. If you fuck with a DS, and they challenge you to a fight behind the barracks, decline. There are always 3-4 DS's waiting for you. They force you into silence after fucking you up, just to make your DS seem like the ultimate bad-ass.
1. Don't be first, don't be last.
2. Keep your mouth shut and do what they say.
3. Breathe relax aim squeeze (rifle mantra)
4. (During reception) Tell the person in the finance office to set aside 10% of your pay into an account set aside for an IRA. When you get out you'll have a fat stack of cash you never knew you missed.
5. The military has programs where you can take college courses AT NO COST TO YOU. Take them all and get a fucking masters degree in whatever while your squad mates are drinking themselves to death.
6. Don't buy a new car.
7. Don't buy a new car.
8. Don't buy a new car.
9. The businesses around every army post are designed to take a soldiers money. Just buy a new video game every now and then and you'll be fine.
10. Don't volunteer for shit
11. Do your four years and get the fuck out unless you're going to become an officer.
12. When in doubt, empty the magazine.
13. Write this list down where you won't lose it and keep an extra copy in your pocket. Don't deviate and you'll be fine.
Your successful army airborne daddy.
>>713412600
Bootcamp is pussfied these days, you'll be fine faggot. You'll even get to keep your phone, so get a good data plan. Also, if your mama sends you cookies, everyone gets to share. Great way to make friends. Just make sure she sends enough for 150+ people.
i've been in the canadian regular forces for 12 years now. we whoop you marines in war games all the time
>>713415076
Basically this. Every time I think about joining the Corps, I think about how almost every marine I've ever met (which is a lot of them) is a huge faggot.
>>713415685
If you were successful you'd have mentioned:
1a: Don't get married.
>>713416366
Ok I missed one.
And WEAR CONDOMS!
>>713412600
Suck it up buttercup
>>713412763
Jesus, you're retarded
>>713412600
Get a tattoo of Osama Bin Laden on your back for the lulz
>>713416366
This. Don't get fucking married. Saw a few guys get married to some chicks right after basic. Fucking stupid.
I did 16 years as a Marine corps psychologist and worked 12 of those years in PSYOPS.
My advice to you is to not kill yourself because at one point, you'll seriously consider it.
Semper Fi, fucko.
>>713412600
Don't be a bitch....
>>713412600
It's been 6 years since basic and I remember all of the washouts.
Don't be a washout.
>>713416366
>>713416631
This: Confirmed. So many friend's lives just fucking ruined by boot-marriages. Don't do it.
Also, don't fuck anyone you work with. For the love of god trust me on this one. MOS school is fine
>>713412600
If you can keep any books with you, I suggest Aurelius Meditations, the Odyssey or the Iliad, or the Bible.
Remember, too, that Trump is President. You may be working for something in which you believe.
Former ROK Army here.
They don't let you do anything you can't.
Just don't grab the soap on the floor in the shower.
this day in age is a bad time to join the army. i spent 13 months in Afghanistan, things are getting way outa control over in the middle east. i really dont want to go back. (i never really saw combat)
>>713412600
Keep your head down and your mouth shut. Be Forest Gump.

fucking obama and the left wing man,turnin everybody into faggot ass pansys
They let them keep their cell phones now in basic, I'm told. It should be a pandering experience.
>>713414003
>Enlisting this Wednesday
Join the Air Force. You haven't signed yet.
>>713417350
Holy fuck are you serious? That's just as bad as those fucking stress cards.
>>713416875
I worked you ROK's before. You guys were hard core.
>>713412600
Welcome to the Navy!!!
>>713412600
[Former Marine] You'll survive. Just go and give all you have to give. You'll get screamed at anyway. The point of the screaming is to simulate the stress of battle. Embrace it. And read up on Terminallance.com so you don't become some retarded boot.
>>713417175
>read up on blm and feminists
i lol'd,a bunch of angry niggers and fat cunts are no threat to america
>>713414631
I will try. Just getting very nervous. Like I have a stomach ache.
>>713414332
Rude.
>>713414631
>Don't lose shit. Do NOT NOT LOSE YOUR FUCKING GEAR.
Now I'm even more scared. I'm the worst at losing things.
>>713415685
Didn't read all of that but wrote a couple down. Thanks chief.
>>713416366
I'm actually engaged.
>>713417709
The first week will be the worst. Prepare to be yelled at constantly.
>>713417659
>>713417933
The whole yelling thing is what has me most worried. I get really anxious when someone yells at me or at people near me and I start laughing as a defense mechanism. Like it's involuntary and I can't help it.
What should I do if I laugh?
>>713417933
>The first week will be the worst. Prepare to be yelled at constantly.
OP is engaged and that's good marriage advice.
>>713414631
He's right. Terminal Lance here. Hope you go to the grunts faggot, I hope you get sent to 29 stumps, where motivation goes to die. PS We still haze boots.
Oh, and be the house mouse in boot. Y'all get hooked up.
>>713412600
Don't sweat it. I had fun in basic but it was Army and ROTC. If your fit you should have no problem.
I hear lately no on can shoot. Or has exposure to it. Not sure if it's true. I qualified expert. Good luck.
>>713418162
>What should I do if I laugh?
Don't laugh. Learn to not need to externally react.
>>713415942
>i've been in the canadian regular forces for 12 years now. we whoop you marines in war games all the time
KEK
Sure you did, sure you did.
>>713418162
You will learn discipline. Through some orifice, it will seep into you and you will learn how to not laugh out loud
>>713413786
Soooo much this. Pay attention to what you're supposed to be paying attention to, keep your mouth shut, do what you're supposed to be doing, fly under the goddam radar as much as possible.
DO NOT volunteer for anything during the first few weeks. If the drills know your name and your face during this time, you're fucked.
DO NOT slack off during PT. Passing PT tests opens a fuckton of freedoms up to you. Finish every PT session puking your guts out. The drills will respect you for going all out every time. Bring intensity to PT and keep it for the whole session.
Eat a fuckton of protien. Your body will need it to build muscle. On second thought, eat a fuckton of everything, just watch some of the greasy stuff and fiber they serve in the chow halls. Nothing is worse than a case of the shits during a road march.
Most of all, DO NOT give up, the drills are looking for the guys who are not giving 100% all the time and will fuck their shit up when they find them.
>>713418162
For the yelling, not sure what I can tell you. Just remember, war time simulation. Maybe hire a stranger to scream at you to practice? (Not even joking)
The DI's are fucking hilarious. Do your best not to laugh, and just expect you are going to do endless push ups anyway. When I felt like laughing, I tried to think of the most unfunny stuff possible.
>>713418378
im not that guy but hes not joking. the canadian regular forces have taken out the marines countless amount of times in war games. they're very well trained, they just dont have the strength in numbers
>>713414079
nice feet
>>713415685
You have been there!
>>713412600
Got out of Army basic last month and let me tell you Ft. Benning was no fucking joke. First things first, it doesn't matter what branch you go into, you will be fucking miserable the first few weeks ESPECIALLY when you go to reception. Reception sucks ass; they kept us awake for almost 3 days straight, smoked us (though they're not technically supposed to) and we would sit around waiting for hours on end doing nothing. It fucking sucks and that's where you will want to quit the most. When you hit actual basic (or boot camp if you're a Marine fag) it will still be miserable but you're actually in training now so now things will move faster. After a while you'll get letters and such and things won't seem so bad, it will just become your life. The best advice is like several others are saying, just fly under the radar. Do the right thing, don't start shit with other recruits, don't volunteer much if at all.
For the love of God do not quit. They will make your life a living hell. There were people that quit the first week of red phase that had to watch us fucking graduate and were STILL stuck at the base while we were all going home/ to our duty stations. I promise you you'll regret it too and you'll end up telling everyone a big fat fucking lie like you were hurt or something and had to get out. If you quit you will sit in a hallway and stare at a wall all day. You'll be given shitty, bottom of the barrel details like cleaning squadron, other companies barracks, doing bitch work around the base for anyone that needs bitch people to help them. The other recruits will also relentlessly harass you and you will feel like a huge pussy.
I stress that so much because that will be a major dilemma your first few weeks. It's hard man but you have my word that you'll get used to it. As for everything else they'll tell you what to do and how to do it in great detail.
>>713418190
She already yells at me all the time. Big part of the reason I'm so anxious.
>>713418328
>Don't laugh. Learn to not need to externally react.
If I don't laugh, I'll make weird faces, almost like tics. Way obvious and cringey.
>>713418523
Is there really a lot of rape?
>>713418162
>What should I do if I laugh?
Protect your head
>>713418162
>what should I do if I laugh?
You won't be able to do anything. You will just get more drill sergeants circling around you screaming at you at the top of there lungs. Or they will make your group do push-ups as punishment for your fuck up.
>>713418773
This.
They will try to make you laugh. You will be fucked if you crack a smile.

What would you consider "a lot" ?
>>713418665

That was alot to read but thanks for responding.

They can't really hit you, can they?
>>713418999
>You will just get more drill sergeants circling around you screaming at you at the top of there lungs.
I don't think I'd be able to stop laughing if they did that.

youre a faggot, shit is easy

I don't know how to do spoiler tags.

Then they will stop punishing you and start punishing everyone else. You do not want that to happen.
>>713413462
civilians arent pogs, you are a fucking idiot
>>713412600
Is boot camp hard? I plan on going into the navy.
>>713415685
I'm thinking of enlisting in the marine corps, so question. Why not buy a car, and if I stay in the military, can I live on comfortable pay, or is the pay garbage(overall).
>>713419424
No they can't hit you. Basic has been pussified so much it's a joke.
>>713419631
Pay is garbage.
>>713419625
My anemic little sister would make it through Navy bootcamp, and she's the most sensitive thing on the planet
>>713412600
It's not as bad as people seem to think it is...probably watch too many movies or some shit, I don't know. Don't get me wrong though, it's damn tough...just keep your head up and try to show initiative. Good luck!
>>713419562
There are no spoiler tags on /b/
>>713419631
Don't buy a NEW car. Or anything above 10k.
The pay is good when you consider how many expenses the military covers for free (food stipend, housing, insurance, etc). You will have tons of spending money. Buying a new car is one trap a lot of boots fall into.
Buy yourself a few nice things, sure, but SAVE MONEY YOU FUCKING BOOOOTS
>>713418872
If you suck at PT do extra push ups and sit ups in your free time. You'll have more and more down time the further along you go in basic and the Drill Sgt.'s always encouraged us to practice PT whenever we could so don't worry about that. If you've never shot before you'll be fine. They break that shit down so easily that kids from the city who have never shot a rifle in their life were qualifying expert's at the range. As for the other shit just have fun and embrace it. Going out in the field, sleeping in a scrape, the Drill's and cadre setting up ambushes and missions for you to complete; look at it as a camping trip and a fun game. It will be exhausting but as long as you keep a positive attitude and make friends it will go by quicker and you'll have fun. There will be a lot of tedious bullshit the further you go but it will pass, that's the most important thing to remember. The real Army is NOTHING like basic training. It's a job, you can use your phone, get weekends off (if you're not in the field or something but that doesn't happen often) and can take leave to go home when you get out of training. Just always stay in shape, it's a very physical job.
All these faggots saying it's easy have done it already but I got out of it relatively recently so I still remember how lonely and daunting it was at first. There's no shame in being afraid or depressed, everyone was at first, just don't let that influence any rash decisions. Good luck buddy and thanks for serving your country!
Well, statistically speaking, it's unlikely you'll die, but literally everyone that I know that has joined the military has either seen their comrades die, or have been permanently injured themselves. Except for the Navy fags that I know.
>>713419625
Navy boot camp is about as pussified as anything can be. The hardest part is learning how to suck two dicks at once while fingering another guy's asshole.
Best branch if i want to be a cop after i get out? and what should i do in that branch
>>713420136
the military in general is pussified now,you can thank obama and the libtards who elected him
>>713420214
Army...MP
since you're scared right now, you will always be a bitch in my corps
>>713412600
Kiss ass pretty much, youre going to be pushed but at the end you will look back and fucking love the fact that you joined, which branch are you joining?
>>713420337
do MP's get to shoot minoritys and get away with it like non military police do
>>713412600
War is racket kid, best go to Canada.
What's your contract for?
What I can tell your is that it's gonna suck
But not the kind of suck you think it will be. It's hard, it's physically and mentally demanding, but you get used to that quick. It's the suck of incompetent command, of redundant Bullshit.
I don't mean to be one of those guys, but the corps isn't what it used to be
>>713419625
>>713419761
Back in my day, Navy boot was pretty tough. San Diego was a nice base, pissed me off when they closed it down.
But today's? It's an embarrassment. Its more like Air Force's now.
>>713415685
14. DONT BUY A NEW CAR
>>713420051
Well spoken! Great advice.
>>713420449
you dont avoid war in canada either. like i stated above i spent 13 months in afganastan a few years after highschool
The Allfather will guide you to honor and victory!
>>713419879
this
Make sure to get full sleeve tats and drop after E4 so you can work at Wal Mart and tell everyone your MOS
>>713420461
Right? Just got my dd214 honorable and I look at the shit they are pumping through. I remember when making it rain was legal
Haha! Get REKT!
Good luck fag!
What are some bonuses of joining the marines? I want to join because my brother that committed suicide wanted to join the marines, and i don't worry about the risk of dying, I want to go to honor his memory. Will life be hard after the marines? I wanna live a comfortable live(not including during the service), I just wanna be able to have funds to do as I please.
>>713420693
>making it rain
Never had it done with us, but we did get our sister company brutalized. Its a wonder what a few well-placed cig packs can get done for you.
>>713419757
Proportion of pay that's disposable income, however, is excellent, and the deferred compensation of retirement is magnificent!
Think "career" in everything you do.
>>713421112
depends what youre doing
>>713420214
Air Force, OSI if you can get it.
Been in the marines 6 years bud. Bootcamp ain't shit! There are times where it REALLY fucking sucks!
Just scream loud, move fast, do what they say and you're good.
Don't try to stand out and don't be an idiot. Remember that the way they treat you in bootcamp IS NOT THE REGULAR MILITARY!
If you finish, you'll look back and think "oh shit, that was easy and some of the most fun I've ever had"
Good luck pussy!
>>713420333
It was pussified long before Obama had a career.
>>713412600
killing in the name of Trumpism
what a fucking loser
>>713418378
It's actually true. Canadian Forces aren't as well funded, but they have less soldiers to train/equip.
A vastly smaller military is much easier to train/equip.
>>713421268
Infantry
>>713414332
This 100%. Fuck military fags, I fucking hate these lazy pieces of shit. Literally no ambition to work once they get out, they're fucking worthless to society when then get out.
>>713412600
Don't stick out. And don't fuck up. Always do want the DI's say. Especially your kill hat. Also you'll want to quit. Don't do it though. Like DI Sgt. Davis always told me the quickest way off the island is by graduating from Boot Camp. Make sure to scream and know the difference between aye sir and yes sir. Also the best thing to know before boot camp to prepare; is that you.cant prepare for it.
>>713421112
Your chances of dying, slim
It's not worth it to me, not the marine corps. You want to enlist, go air force, if not AF, then army, if not army, navy. Anything but the marine corps. And if you do join the corps, don't be a fucking grunt
>>713421610
It's harder after you get out. back pains, depression and if you didnt do college, harder to get a job. but i say go for it. Once you're out go for a government job since you'll be more likely to get hired
>>713421761
Why not? I really don't wanna make a decision like this and fuck me over. Why not the marines, and why not definitely the grunts? What do you recommend?
>>713421184
True. My dad did 20 years and has a sweet pension.
It's really not that bad. Keep your head down and do as you're told when you're told. You'll make it through.
>>713412600
You could always just kill yourself faggot. You're going to be worthless out side of being a milfag anyway. Most of you fucks get out before finishing up your time anyway. Be it supposed "medical discharge" or unable to conform to the regiment. I've seen enough of you selfish fucks do it already.
>>713422084
Because being an enlisted Marine just fucking sucks. You are treated like dirt, your gear is the worst, and you get the worst food/barracks.
The other branches are living on EZ street compared to you
>>713422247
You sound a little upset.
>>713421695
This.
Also, you don't get an identity. You will always refer to yourself as "this recruit"
>DI, This recruit requests to use the head
>>713422167
Very little actually finish their 20 though, cool that your dad did but a large amount don't. A decent portion will try to get med-separated out. The new generation of Military is just fucking sad.
>>713422373
This. Joined the Air Force. Did 6 years and got out.
>>713422373
But l want to be a real man.
>>713412600
Just think of all the retards the made it. You will be fine. You don't have Nothing else to do so just do push-ups and gather white Knights to pass the time.
Been in the military. 2 different brNches. Same thing
>>713422464
Im currently 11 years in. I figure I will stick it out for 9 more and get out. I'll be getting a pension at 39.
I can promise you, this will be the worst decision of your life.
Every. Single. One. of my friends who joined right outta high school got out immediately after their short 4-5 year commitment was up. Virtually all of them got shot at, killed someone, or saw some fucked up shit like children getting killed and came back changed men, but in a bad way. Like there was less of them than before. All of the scream "OORAH" and are loud and proud Facebook posters, yet none of them could make it past the tiny commitment.
You will regret this. It will be the worst decision of your life. Why oh why did you think your hometown was such a bad place anon? I guarantee you on night #1 you will be missing it lmao. You will fucking cherish every moment being back there. You'll learn
>>713422380
A lot of them never finish their time and just become selfish pieces of shit in society.
Former Navyfag and It hurts me to see the new generation of Army,Navy,Marine,ect. A lot of them just quit.
>>713422084
Because the marine corps is a terrible place
I'm a marine, and I'm a grunt, I'm not saying this out of my ass
It sucks bro. You're in the field constant, you get smoke checked frequently. But that's all somewhat enjoyable. You meet some of the best friends you've ever had, you meet some of the best dudes on this planet. You all share the pain, you all share the suck.
The bad part is what you don't realize. The command in the usmc is shit. We're not a wartime marine corps anymore. We're peacetime now, and everything is administrative Bullshit.
Especially as a grunt. It's a shot to the heart to never see combat, to never actually do anything worth talking about. It sucks. Picking up ranks isn't about how good you are at your job, it's about how good you look on paper, how much dick you suck.
If you still decide to join as an 03, just remember to expect the bullshit
>>713422742
Yeah. It seems to be the mentality now.
>>713418162
You get a visit from Sgt. Giggles
>>713412600
PICK YOUR PUSSY OFF THE GROUND PRIVATE!
IT'S JUST FUCKING BOOT CAMP NOT RANGER SCHOOL!
>>713422445
Yea they are always supposed to let you use the head.
But sometimes they find a way around it.
Like one time my friend told me while he was in boot camp he stood up and asked his heavy permission to use the head
And his heavy responded, "Oh, I guess we don't ask permission to speak anymore!" Then he responded with permission to speak and his heavy denied his permission. So he had to wait.
>>713412600
Lol dumbass. Have fun getting used as a commodity by the government and being dumped off like garbage when they're done reaming your asshole out.

How can you say if you never have
What should I do if I wanna live my life comfortably in the military? I don't care about field work or going to battle or some shut like that. My grades aren't great and going straight to college would cost way too much for me. Senior now, 18 years old. Gotta figure my shit out fast.

Take the GI Bill and pay the extra kicker, too. Just finished my Master's degree using the GI Bill. No debt. Do it.

Airforce, literally any job that requires an ASVAB score above 70
>>713424045
Benefits of Air Force? And aren't they considered pussies D:
>>713412600
You'll be fine, the USMC is soft work for girly men.
Its' not like you signed up for something strenuous like the Air Force.
Don't lose your fucking gear, never leave your shit unlocked, bust your ass in PT, shut the fuck up and do what they say. Everyone will fuck up once or twice, just try not to do it more than that or else you'll get a target on your back. Also don't get caught jerking off on fire watch, or at all.
>>713423854
No, you should not figure out your shit. Live in a state of entropy and do nothing. Everyone dies wishing that they could've done more, so there's no point. Let's just do nothing and take LSD.

> strenuous
> Air Force
pick one

Don't forget, never shower alone.
Rape is super common in the military.
>>713424271

Lmfao that feeling when every branch know your retarded.

you're never really alone when Christ is in your heart anon.
but yeah a buddy of mine told me that there was a guy in his unit or platoon or whatever the fuck that was wacking dudes with a piece of wood and butt raping them. Took a long time for him to get caught because it was usually a one shot ko from behind.
>>713425184
>navy
Never again volunteer yourself
What branch should I join if I want to have great benefits but also want to go into battle?
Learn, fight, get a degree. Use your GI Bill if you need it. You can also get a good house loan later.
Thx for your service. Remember: no military=no freedom of speech=no /b/.
>>713416910
You sound like a faggot, Now is a great time to go. I killed a bunch of Muslim cavemen and made good friends. War is cool if you don't die.

Mark everything that you have in any way possible.
Remember hoarding items is never bad you can alway trade them later along the line.
Don't be afraid to be front post on firewatch and learn how to report your goddamn post or else you'll be that dumbass who fucks it up during 3rd phase in front of a captain
Also make sure you have all the correct counts before you give a false report to the CO
Cottage cheese with sugar and jelly is delicious
Never take anything from chow hall
Make sure your boots fit more than anything else. Cammies and shoes are relatively cheap.
Do pull ups as often as possible and put out on pt.
After boot camp put out on everything. Marinenet class, pt, your uniform and presentation. You signed a fucking contract you might as well not be a shitbag
>>713423726
been in 8 years myself.
>>713424271
lmao, i just deployed and had a room with shower/running water and a tv. nice little bed set up with a little privacy. not much, but army brahs were living in tents. went to communal showers and shitters for their months in the desert.
i love hearing them call me a pussy all day long lol
>>713412600
quit being a pussy, plenty of faggits did it before you and plenty more will do it after you. shit isn't hard.
I'm at my MOS school right now. Just take the advice from that guy that made the list. It's true once you're out nobody wants to hear about boot camp stories.
