He did go see a marines recruitor, and I have never heard soooo many lies in my life! Now, that's not to say all marines recruitors lie.

Make sure you talk to a lot of guys that are actually in the army, they wont lie to you, and do research on all of the branches! Also, If you're allergic to anything, you might as well kiss your army stuff goodbye. Last I heard, the branches are getting soo full, that they aint giving out weivers, for any branch.

( correct me if im wrong about anything)

and if you do join, thank you

"I dont want you to be in my Marine Corps unless you want to Be a Marine. If you want college go to one of the other Branches. If I wanted something specific Call some other recruiter."

-SSgt Bening Marine recuiter to me

Truth be told I just joined the first service whos recruiter called me when I filled out the cards and sent them all out on the same day. The next day the Air Force recuiter Called me he seemed a bit in shock when I told him Why and who I was joining and he called second so no dice! Truth be told Im glad the Marine recuiter called first, there is an Legacy that will span time about the Marine Corps and I get to be a part of it.

The waivers are getting to be non existant these days also. They are now Looking for more then a high School Diploma also. I was Talking with an Air Force Bubba, Looks for College Credits and or Eagle Scouts on top of High School Diploma for enlisted. No GED's
The Air Force is by and by the most picky, Honestly for a technical schools the Navy has FAR and I do Mean FAR FAR FAR better schools then the Air Force. I attended an Air Force Electronics Course and it was on Par with the Basic Electrician Course I went to at a Navy School.
