Join the Military?

Military is a lot more than blowing shit up.

Was military myself but went into went into best field where set my life up for the future and could use after getting out. My older self really appreciates good decisions when younger. There is discipline, a lot of hurry up and wait, stupid rank people

Don’t know what you do or what you want for your future but think that you should consider that military is not just shooting shit up, it can be a serious job with responsibilities depending on what you do. It’s serious stuff and affects you mentally if in the lines of fire. Buddy’s son was in Afghanistan and showed videos of serious firefight. It’s life and death for the guys on the front line. It’s not being a kid with firecrackers and you are held accountable for your actions and behavior

If your current self wants to blow shit up, may want to think what priorities are in your life. Not saying don’t do it , just do something that you can use after getting out. I’m very supportive of military as it started my life and have a great job now. Being a gunner doesn’t have many opportunities after getting out.

I dunno man, I've thought the same thing. Also early 30's. I do think there would be a lot of benefits to joining the military, mostly from the skills, abilities and growth perspectives. Personally, however, I hate taking orders. I have an inherent disdain for people claiming authority over me. For those reasons I concluded the military is not for me. If you are cool with hierarchy and taking orders it could be a great thing for you.

It's your life, you got pros and cons on both sides. Personally, I would recommend getting some professional help, but if you truly feel destructive...the military can at least point you in a direction that is...purposefully destructive.

You can do exactly that by going and living in nature, it’s more interesting, there are not stupid rules (only the laws of nature), it’s is really liberating, you hunt like an animal, you put your life in the line everyday and you can feel free to give in into your killer instincts without holding back (killer instincts is a men nature), but don’t join the military they just don’t pay enough for you to be betting with your life, after the trad speech of the military get updated with more cash and less bullshit, maybe it’ll be worthy, after all why would sacrifice yourself for this whore society, unless they are paying you enough to spend your nights with the best whores in town.

I’m in the military (Army, now Air Force) and I can tell you if you’re thinking of joining to fight depression (of sorts), you’re really mopping a dirty floor with dirtier water.

There’s a reason depression and suicide is high in the military. If you think it’s all about blowing stuff up and shooting guns, you’ve watched too many movies. Most of the time you’re mowing grass, cleaning the latrines/bathroom, or getting yelled at because the guy next to you f*cked up.

There’s recalls at 2AM because someone got a DUI, little sleep, etc. Even when you are doing your “job”, the military has a way of making it suck. People either adapt and embrace it (hence, “Embrace the suck”) or the become depressed. There’s some in between though.

I don’t want to crap on the military entirely. It can be amazing and the friends you make will last forever. The training is great and, if you pick an actual useful job, you’ll be set on the civilian side when you get out.

PS, if you ever are in combat, do NOT be the guy who goes “Rambo”. You will endanger yourself as well as everyone in your patrol. Nobody likes that fuckhead and no, you’re not cool.

Hit me up if you need more realistic views on the military (Army or Air Force) and good luck in whatever you decide.

As someone who did their time, at your age it will only be a career and I would advise if your gonna make it a career, going in as an officer. But if being in the shit and being away from clown world is what you want look into security contracting.

Just be aware that most contracting jobs do require military experience however not all of them. I too have been giving it some thought, I can relate to how you feel, either way good luck on the decision you decide to make.

IlllIIllIlII · 2020-01-15T05:11:42+00:00

Max age to join is 35

Remember being blown to pieces is one possible outcome. Another is getting crippled for life... Would you want to live out your fake life in a wheelchair? Or in bed? Surely there must be other occupations where you can feel alive again, with much less risk? As you said: why the FF would you want to fight somebody else's fight? To spread feminism around the globe? Don't get me wrong: I highly respect the military and the work they're doing. But I can't be arsed to fight for nitwits who don't give a shit about me anyway. And no I'm not afraid if my country gets conquered. If the conquerors don't harm me, I won't harm them. I'll adapt and keep thriving. And I care even less what will happen to our beloved women... I live in Europe and if we become Eurabia it's them who will be beaten into rags, locked up in attics and have their clit cut off. That's what they want anyway. Don't dare to criticize islam here: those blue hair hags will scream out their lungs with racism bile.

Do not enlist with that mindset, man. Taking the life of another human being is not something that should be glorified, ever. I had the same thoughts when I was 22. I was a nerd in college and wanted to do some badass combat MOS. I got my wish and although I will not say I regret it because I’ve met some awesome people, I really wish I had given it more thought. Maybe you’re different but once you’re faced with the reality of killing somebody, it fucks you up, mentally

The military is 95% waiting around for the CO to get her shit sorted. I enlisted in the army in 2012 and most of it was diversity classes and waiting for women to keep up. The military is only a mans world during REAL WAR which we have not known since Vietnam.

Don't be cannon fodder for elites, they don't care about you.

Much better to make a small team with like minded men and work on smth, live life with friends.

Brave4Beskar · 2020-01-15T04:45:53+00:00

Yes you sound like good Marine Corp material! Parris Island 2020!!

ladsbeforeslags · 2020-01-15T04:50:42+00:00

Been thinking about it myself tbh. If they had the right program for me I think I would go.

boejob · 2020-01-15T04:53:16+00:00

Joining the Navy or Air Force is much safer than Marines or Army.

Also, if what you want is a bit of camaraderie and drilling, you could join the reserves. After you undergo basic training, I think they get together about once a month in a place near you. Again, my advice would be to go for the Navy or Air Force reserves.

guintoo · 2020-01-15T06:59:27+00:00

Hit up the gun range and see how you feel first

Wisdom_of_a_Khan · 2020-01-15T07:11:47+00:00

Marines cap enlistment at 28 years now, Army caps at 35.

your best bet to go do what you want is probably Army Infantry, It's not an easy life, If you want something intense i'd say go for it. Don't be indecisive though, Either go infantry and get in the shit or stay out. Don't get a paper pusher job, The political shit you'll have to deal with will make you depressed and dead inside.

p3p3_sylvia · 2020-01-15T13:04:43+00:00

Dude for every one second of clowning shit up you do and actual fun stuff related to your job, there’s about 4 weeks of paperwork, bullshit tasks from your commander, death by PowerPoint and online classes to do.

Anonymous-Samurai · 2020-01-15T22:54:40+00:00

Remember that there is an age limit

foreverfaded1 · 2020-01-16T02:18:37+00:00

I joined up pretty late and I would recommend going Air Force, Navy, or just not going military. If you're set on seeing combat I would advise that you get an option 40 contract. It'll give you a shot at getting into the 75th Ranger Regiment. Just know since you're older and probably above average in intelligence you'll hate your life in Reception and Basic.
