NYUK Posted February 1, 2005 Report Posted February 1, 2005 semper fidelis future marine. good luck. Quote
AverageJoe Posted February 1, 2005 Report Posted February 1, 2005 Good luck and thanks for the commitment, did my time already. Gotta question for you though, I never get a good answer, Why would one choose the marines over say the air force? My personal belief its a combination of the recruiters sales tactics and being young and feeling like you have to prove something. Quote

1800bigk Posted February 1, 2005 Report Posted February 1, 2005 I was marine from 97-03, I tried to join AF but I had been in trouble with the law and they wouldnt take me, so I went next door and signed up with USMC, Im so glad I did that. Marine corps is the way to go. Quote

Now the p-3. only went to the boat in my first squadron (E-2 and C-2) wanted to get away from the tail hook community you know what I mean. Got tired of the flight deck quick. Quote
