My all time favorite quote is from a marine recon sniper. A reporter asked him what he felt the moment he killed a high ranking taliban insurgent. His answer......Recoil.
@lvrpatriot01 hello the marines are tough their bootcamp is like no other they are leting em know dont join unless you this what you really want. according to my baby they break you down. and make you wish you could go home, but somewhere the marine inside comes out. nothing against the army cuz my bros joining the army and i think its the same way with all the military.
@lvrpatriot01 Ok Just to make it clear... Its not that tough to become a ranger .. Especially when you put beside a Green Beret, Recon Marine , or SEAL. Not saying its easy , but there attrition rate is only 60%.
It's shit like this that's the reason the corps always exceeds recruiting quota. Army'll take anyone. The marines? They only accept you if you're the best.
@brandonch25 I've been to MEPS about 5 times. There are actually many ways that the processing is different. Each branch has a different height, weight and age requirement for enlisting, shipping and completing recruit training. Also, on the ASVAB, there are certain sections that are either held to a higher importance or ignored altogether depending on the branch of service. Of course that more greatly affects job selection.
@dmackortega not being a dick but why have you been there five times and not made it through ? and yes asvab and height and weight are the only differences other than that the test are exactly the same... and every body says the army takes anybody lol if you dont pass your pt test at the end of bootcamp you get recycled once then kicked out so they still weed out the weak
@brandonch25 I have made it through now. I'm leaving for BMT Oct. 17th. I went through two DQ's and waivers. One for trying cutting (once) about 5 years ago. (Thought it was stupid especially because of the small scar it left) If you ask me now I'd say you gotta be a pretty weak person to continue that. One of the visits was having a psych evaluation. The second was a technically a DQ but all I had to do was wait 6 months to make sure my lasik surgery went completely fine.

That's why special forces and army rangers pick from applicants because it is harder to join them than to join marines

Marines do accept applications if you are looking at OCS. It is one of the biggest packets you have ever seen. Go see your local OSO.
