I know I sound like a recruiter or some fed trying to convince NEETs to die for blackrock, but it's literally just the truth.

If you’re doing nothing, have no degree, no money, no job, and no purpose, and you're a bum, joining the military is literally a cheat code to jump start your life into something really exciting.

You literally get
>Free housing
>Free college (after you get out or while you’re in)
>A guaranteed paycheck every 2 weeks (and no chance of being laid off if you just do your job)
>Gym access, healthcare, structure
>A chance to completely reinvent yourself
>And if you’re not a tard, you can stack money, get in shape, and set yourself up better than 90% of people your age

Like if you’re already broke, depressed, out of shape, and going nowhere anyway, what are you even really giving up?

You can keep rotting or you can get paid to become disciplined, jacked, and educated. And if you play your cards right, you can come out with zero debt, a pension track, and a plan. I literally dropped out of high school and now I am on set to get a home loan with no money down.

>inb4 "I don't wanna die for joooooz"

Then don't pick a combat role, be a cook or something.

Do with that what you want.

I wish I could have gotten in at 25 into special forces, but unfortunately, my mind and body was not in the right place for that role. Fortunately I'll be getting a decent government job soon if I keep up with my degree.

>Then don't pick a combat role, be a cook or something.
Careful, plenty of combat units have cooks. Infantry gotta eat just like everyone else. You can't give Army Infantrymen a box of crayons for dinner like you can for Marines.
Army Signal Corps (mostly), Aviation, JAG paralegals, Finance, anything medical that has specialist in the name is pretty safe except for "combat medic specialist".
Better talk to people doing the job, CA or Chaplain's assistant can be a lot more front line that you'd think LOL. Loggie sounds chill until they try to IED you. Some signal corps is WAY more front line than others.
If I had to do it over again I'd go 88P and get a nice civilian job when I get out.

>>33324806 (OP)
>and no chance of being laid off if you just do your job
Yeah I got bad news for you about the 90s peace dividend. They were REALLY nice about it compared to civilian companies, but...

>>33324806 (OP)
I don't necessarily disagree with anything you say, I think the military is a very good option for helping people who come from poor or broken households and have limited prospects, or people whose life just isn't going the way they want it to. But there is another side to this discussion that people should be aware of if they're thinking of joining the military.

1. low ranking soldiers get treated like shit, and you are not allowed to complain about it. You will encounter a lot of petty tyrant Karen types (not necessarily female) who are barely any higher on the pecking order than you, but will lord every bit of power they have. The military has both the best of the best and the worst of the worst, and sometimes you'll feel like you're back in high school.

2. You are signing up for a job where it is literally illegal for you to not work, and you cannot quit. If you find out you hate your job or hate your supervisor you're just stuck with it.

3. Its true you can sign up for a non-combat job, but once you sign up you belong to the military and they will put you wherever they want you to be. This could be somewhere dangerous. It is also certainly not outside of the question that a real war could start in the next 5 years and you're placed in harm's way in ways you never planned for. It's a grim thought, but when you're a soldier every time you walk through the door you must be prepared never to return. I don't think the US wars of my lifetime have been worth dying for.

If you do join, my advice is to go into the coast guard. It's the best branch, because it's the one that most directly helps the American people and keeps America safe from criminals and other people who want to do bad things to Americans. The training opportunities are great as well, especially if you have any interest in the maritime industry. If you don't want to go coast guard then join the navy, because it's the branch with the most peacekeeping oriented mission.

>>33324806 (OP)
obvious fedposting is obvious

>>33324977
I'm not gonna argue with most of that. You're right that theres can be kind of a dark side to it, and it’s not for everyone. You can get stuck with shitty leadership, you can’t just quit, and yes, if shit pops off globally, you could end up somewhere you didn’t expect. But I’m pretty sure that should be common sense if you are signing up for the freaking military.

But If you’re already in a dead-end life, broke, out of shape, with no degree, no trade, and no family support, then what’s the alternative? Retail? DoorDash? Depression? Slowly wasting away while the years slip by?

At least with the military, you get something back:

>Paycheck
>VA home loan
>Education
>Purpose
>Brotherhood
>Resume creds
>Chance to reinvent yourself physically, mentally, socially

Yeah, it's rigid and sometimes toxic. So is civilian life. At least in the military, they’ll pay you to get stronger and smarter.

Also the Coast Guard is fine but a lot of people can’t even qualify because the branch is so small and more selective.

If someone's got nothing going on, no clear direction, and they're tired of living the same day over and over again, the military is still a better launchpad than drifting. Just go in with eyes wide open, like you said.

>>33325043
Even if I was a fed, everything I said is still 100% facts and you can't really argue with it.

>>33325099
what is your job in the military?

>>33325149
Officially, I'm a 4341 (Combat Correspondent), which means I get paid to follow around grunts, write articles, take photos, and sometimes shoot video for "public affairs" (propaganda). I'm basically just the guy who shows up after the marines do something and just ask them questions about whatever they did.

Sometimes I embed with infantry or ride in convoys, but most of the time it's stories like humanitarian ops or taking pictures of someone getting a medal.

We are not joining the military, zogbot. Go on twitter if you really want to trick zoomers into dying for oil.

>>33324806 (OP)

I mean I was at a dead-end in life for 2 years after I graduated and started doing AmazonFlex 3 months ago and I love it. Best job I've ever had and the pay's not bad either. I'm ngl I attempted to join the airforce but I didn't get in but joining the military is a whole different ball game where you could potentially have drones dropping bombs on you or getting shot at or walk over an IED. That's not for me! I'd rather drive around the countryside enjoying the views and working alone.

Like if you're a single guy with no kids you really don't need to earn that much money to survive anyway. Sure you could maybe buy a bigger house or nicer car with money from the military but you could also lose your limbs or die

the biggest POG of them all

Is the military worth it? I’m a 24 year old military brat and i’m about to graduate college with zoology. I would do anything to go back to my childhood military base of misawa and experience japan again

>>33325836
So? This thread is about what the military can do to help people get their life and career on track, not for dick measuring contests over who was stupid enough to pick a combat job.

Unfortunately, that disqualifies 95% of the people who post here. But hopefully you’ll reach out to some people who are willing to work hard and just need the opportunity.

You joined the marine corps and chose the gayest MOS of them all. If you wanted to a tv newscaster you should have went to the Air Force. Fag

Can any mil anons answer my related thread >>33326018

go be a CCT in the Air Force if you wanted to do all of that

I'm not OP, I was just telling you that you completely missed the point of the thread like the crayon eating jarhead you are.

>>33325817
I mean If AmazonFlex works for you and you're fine with it, then that's fine.
But acting like the military is just some high-risk, low reward gamble misses a lot.

First off, most military jobs, especially in the Air Force or Navy, aren’t even frontline. Hell, even in the Marines, only a small percentage see direct combat. The idea that you’re dodging IEDs every day is the civilian dramatized version. For every grunt, there are dozens doing logistics, intel, maintenance, admin, comms, etc., with way more job training, benefits, and long-term stability than gig work.

Last time I checked AmazonFlex has zero upward mobility, no benefits, no retirement, and no job protection. It works until it doesn’t, until gas spikes, your car breaks, or they change the pay structure. I mean you’re one accident away from being unemployed.

>>33325836
The biggest POG of them all is admin actually. Just saying, we are the ones who archive your deployment, write your award citations, and document your friends when they don’t come back. I mean you can call it POG shit all you want, but when your kids wanna know what you did in Afghanistan, guess who wrote the story they'll read?

>>33326311
>but when your kids wanna know what you did in Afghanistan, guess who wrote the story they'll read?
Gay. I bet when when people find out you’re in the military, you just tell them you’re a “Marine”. You probably don’t tell
them you’re a photo journalist who only maybe touches a rifle once a year for qual. You join the corps for the Marine title without actually being a Marine. Just like JD. He’s a fag too. Brags about being a Marine and “serving” in Iraq.

>>33326334
>gay
not as gay as being a marine in general thoughever

>>33325099
>Yeah, it's rigid and sometimes toxic. So is civilian life. At least in the military, they’ll pay you to get stronger and smarter.
yea but in civilian life people just insult you or ignore you. your fellow workers or whoever don't beat you or wait until you're asleep to "adjust your behavior"

the military is literally an entirely different level of stupid people making you conform than normal civilian life

>>33326720
Worst take ever

>>33326731
Not an argument.

lol, lmfao. Yeah selling four years of your life for a decent living and coming back to boomers kissing your ass may seem worth it, but just know that anyone that has a brain will make it just as far as if not even further past you if they simply work hard and never give up on their wants and dreams. My manager was part of the marines and he’s an absolute FUCKTARD JEW, and even though he has a wife and kids, all he has to show for it is his life as a middle manager and vacations to Japan once in a while. Nobody at work actually likes him, even though he is an effective boss, I could have had his position in my company but decided I don’t want it because it’s too little reward for how much the company relies on you to function. He goes around chanting Semper Fi and special pleading in every situation relevant to his status outside the company. Honestly fuck him and fuck the military, be creative enough to forge your reality into what you want it to be. Not by being a slave to the man.

>>33326821
Don't need one. Worst take ever.

It actually is a cheat code if you go in to become a navy nuke worker, you'll be set for life when you get out working a comfy job at a nuke plant as either a tech or an operator making 6 figures.

Honestly looking back I feel like I would have enjoyed it if I joined. I would have liked to be either an armorer or a logistics guy. But at 28 going on 29 there's no way in hell I'm joining, only to be shouted at by some 19-20 year old kid.

in combat environments the soldiers are given MRE's. the deployment sites have chow halls but these bases are typically very far from hot zones.

> Just work as a cook
Here in Australia, this strategy doesn't work. The military is increasingly contracting out everything to the point that any support role is done through a private company that doesn't give you veterans benefits. Our navy contracts out all cooking and what little cooking it doesn't contract out, is done by soliders who are taught to make spag bol as a break from being shot at.

Contrary to popular belief, the military is a disgustingly cheap, tight-fisted company run by misers who count every fiber in your bunk bed's linen to make sure you get the pre-determined minimum level of comfort per dollar. All that government money goes to buying toys: jets, tanks, and guns. The people who operate them are paid well, but not as well as you'd think.

This strategy may work more in 10+ years. Militaries across the world are struggling to hire people. The Australian navy is lowering their bar of entry in every way, and eventually they'll have to up the benefits.
