ASlaveObeys 06/09/21 5:43:29 PM #9:	So I have done the crucible. It isn't that challenging, realistically, and last time they reported a Marine had died during bootcamp it was actually suicide. You are given a 3 day supply of MREs and you get at least 4 hours of sleep every night (4 is the minimum if you're stuck on firewatch at the shittiest rotation). Basically this doesn't add up. Either he ate all of his MREs on the first night... which is unlikely given you're running your ass off, or something else happened, or it was just a weird accident.... which is probably the most likely. It's mostly obstacle courses for hours on end and then PT. I did it in July and people did pass out but there is staff and medical on site at all times. <cite>ASlaveObeys posted [p:954822551] in 19 y/o Mar...

I knew plenty of guys that I was in with that stayed simply because its easy and pays the bills. Ive met even more that treated it like a glorified welfare program, especially the fatties that knew how to game the system before the army kinda started cracking down on it around the time I separated. and the VA disability is a lifetime guaranteed income for the ones that game the system too. I know plenty of people that collect anywhere from 60% (~$1100 a month) to 100% (~$3000). For a lot of those people it was the best 3-5 year investment they could ever make. i can only speak for the army, since that was the branch I was in, the Air Force and coast guard seem at least relatively professional. <cite>Cacciato posted [p:954823446] in 19 y/o Mar...

Monopoman 06/09/21 7:14:29 PM #17:	I mean the main time being in the military sucks is when a major war is going on, now there is always some war going on these days but depending on what you do you might not be deployed to that area. I also was surprised to see this article because I have been told they made Marine basic training far more harsh back in the 80s-90s or before that time. The current Marine basic training is a shell of it's former self and the hell they used to put guys through. Sure, being say a Navy Seal or something is still a nightmare to go through, but that type of thing is not for the average military person. I also will say every wannabe Marine I ever met was gun ho as hell about being one, they all seemed eager as fuck to get on the front lines ASAP. <cite>Monopoman posted [p:954825426] in 19 y/o Mar...
