yeah, was 11b, then 11c until 2009. yes, I'm an oldfag. tbh famalam the only real "hard" part is the condtions you live in, especially overseas. weeks on end, 18 hour days, 100+ degree heat, sleeping on cots or on dirt floors, no time for showering or clean uniforms, dust/sand/dirt in every crevice, constant knee/ankle/lower back pain from gear/foot patrols/etc. but if you're young and in good shape, you can handle it. I left because I realized I wasn't "fighting for freedom" and everything i thought I knew was a lie.

correct. you also have to pass the asvab to prove you're at least average intelligence. if you're literally a mouth breather retard you can't join.
>>937284672
you literally cannot join if you flunked out of high school my guy. even with a GED if your education is completely lacking you'll fail the asvab and be denied entry.

not sure what you're referring to specifically but those guys in the picture are AIT graduates. you can tell because they don't have any unit crest yet. they're fresh out of training.

every marine thinks they're cream of the crop, when in reality they're just a vanguard force trained to think that way so they'll walk point and take the first hit. ya'll on some shit. tons of marines go to army bases for airborne school, sniper school, pathfinder school, but go on kid, you're definitely elite lmao
