[QUOTE="HMCS(FMF)Ret., post: 4067089, member: 12635"] Not a chance! Not even a chance. My Dad sat me and my twin brother down after high school graduation and told us we had 6 months to get out of his house. He recommended the military. Dumbest thing we ever did. If you hate your wife and kids, love the thought of multiple divorces and never want to be home, it’s great. You work like a dog, twelve hour days, 7 days a week for months on end, plus duty every few days isn’t unheard of. It’s ridiculous how little these kids get paid for how much they sacrifice. When I joined in 1985 I made $310 every 2 weeks. I could have worked double shifts at McDonald’s, worked my way through college and still made more than the military and worked less. We still have families in the military on food stamps. Yet we send billions to other countries for ********. Nope not a chance in hell! I still love the Marines, every single one, but I would never advise anyone to go in the military. [/QUOTE]
