Proud Navy Dad
For those in the Military, what did u join, and why?

I’m look to join the Marines. People think I’m crazy. My dad is in the Navy as a corpsman, people ask why I dont do that.
I feel like the Marines is a big challenge and something that I can feel proud of myself for and make others proud.
Besided I hear chicks cant resist Marines

So, for any military people here, what branch did u join, and why? How do u feel about it now?

Rather than state what I was in (for nearly 30 years) let me tell you what I wish I had joined in some ways. The Marines. I have always been totally impressed with their espirit de corps while on active duty and their comradeship after leaving the service. Yeah, other branches of service may be more glorifying or glamorous, but I personally believe the Marines are the true military branch. They have a very tough job, to become one is very tough too, but they do it with honor, pride and love for our flag. I’ve had family members in every service branch as career enlisted or officers, one of who was a 21 year Marine. After 20 years he still walks like Marine, talks like a Marine and serves this country as a civilian like a Marine.

I don’t know about that chick thing. Did pretty good in my uniform too when I was younger.

Your Dad has a great job in the Navy and nothing wrong there either. But, if you haven’t done so yet, sit down with your Dad and discuss it. If anything, he knows a lot about the Marines as a Navy Corpsman. My son sat down with me when he wanted to join up and we discussed the merits of each branch of service. He is now a Green Beret for many years and loves it. Oh, and chicks love him too!

One thing to think about is education. Of course You Need that H.S. diploma. However, I tell everyone joining to think about delaying until you get a college degree so you can apply to be an officer. If you do a google search on active duty or retired pay you’ll see the difference in my rank as an E-9 versus a Colonel or General. Jillions of dollars.

As far as how I feel about joining, it was the single greatest thing to happen in my life. I would give anything to do it again.

Good luck there young man and I hope you fulfill your dreams. Be proud of your Dad for serving America. He is a hero.
