TaKun782 04/07/21 1:59:46 AM #1:	This news just sort of came out of nowhere, but I guess I shouldn't be too surprised. Hes still pretty young at 24 and has always worked sort of low end boring jobs, etc. So I can understand where he his coming from.. And I get why he wants to join up to pursue a better opportunity. I personally cant due to mental illness, and for other personal reasons as I was once considering it. But other then that, good for him though! Ive only had one other person in the fam and that was my uncle who served in Nam. <cite>TaKun782 posted [p:952554927] in So, my you...

TaKun782 04/08/21 5:12:24 AM #8:	thedeerzord posted... How come your mental illness is hibdering you? I ask because I am a firm advocate for military service. Theres a lot to unpack on that subject. A childhood trauma I just recently started talking about two years ago to my psychologist. Suicidal thoughts also started around two years ago and I get them every now and then. Plus a lot of racing thoughts at night causes me to miss a lot of sleep. That was pure hell on me when I was working for three years with only two hours of sleep per night. But yeah...mental illness is no joke and its not something to ever screw around with. I am however doing a little better these days and more mellow I guess because of the meds. <cite>TaKun782 posted [p:952594835] in So, my you...

Cruddy_horse 04/08/21 1:47:13 PM #9:	Does he really wanna do Marines as opposed to other branches? I mean, I know Marines and they're pretty crazy. lihlih posted... The Marine Corp assigns MOS at Boot. At least that's how it used to be, not sure if they still operate like that. That's an option but I believe you choose from a list of jobs you want and they give you a job on that list. Atleast that's how the Air force and Navy does it, I've no reason to think it would be different for Marines. <cite>Cruddy_horse posted [p:952606997] in So, my you...
