Pros and cons of being a Marine?

Pros: You will be fit forever in your life. You will know how to use firearms. You will know what it is to live in spartan conditions. You will wear the best looking uniforms in the service. You will be a member of the Few and the Proud, forever.

Cons: The pay is peanuts unless your car has a Flag. You will be living in far-away places eating MREs for weeks. 18 hour work days are normal. You will have a funny hair cut. The Gunny will always be screaming at you for reasons you do not know.

You can be a bullet stopper and then act like you are better than the other service members. But, I know two marines and they are two of the biggest pu55ies the world has ever seen.

Marines have the same benefits as any other service. Most people go Marines because this is what they've always wanted to do.

Con working away from home

Pro: You'll have a fun an adventurous life.
Con: You are not allowed to take it easy. They will torture you and work you super hard, and you will not get any accommodations.
