Did you read my trash about joining the Corps early? When you are 17, you can go to boot camp in the summer before your Senior year (as a reservist). You will be a United States Marine for your senior year. And can wear your dress blues at prom. If that isn't badass, I don't know what is.
Then when you graduate, you will be active duty.
Semper!

Nope. But I personally recommend being a troop before leading troops.anyway to become an OFFICER that way? If so, I'm doing it

In my opinion, that is the problem with most officers. They get all high and mighty and don't know dick about what really goes on.
The best officers I have ever had were all enlisted first. I would follow them to my death with total confidence and absolute loyalty. These other guys... well, they're a bunch of pompous, bloviated scyophants kissing up for promotion.
You want to lead? Great! But why? If you want to be an officer of men, a respected leader, and recieve true loyalty, then you must be a troop first. There is no other way. And when you have the loyalty of your men... when you look into your subordinate's eyes and know that he doesn't just trust you, but he loves you like an older brother, then you will never look at yourself the same. And you will be ready to assume the responsibility and authority that can carry grown men willingly to their deaths.
But if you want to be an officer just because you want to be the guy in charge, then your men will despise you. And when the chips are down, you will be revealed as the coward you are.

I would have to fight tooth and nail at 18 I am my own man he says and I can do whatever I want just don't excepect nothing from nobody including methus is my quagmire
This should probably be in a PM HUH oh well

I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

What was that, mallcore boy?
Re: What was the last thing you learned...yes RIGHT NOW
Well, you won't see action in the air force. Since when did the Air Force have tanks?
Look. Clear and simple choice. Life of pain with glory and honor. or life of ease with no glory and no honor. One or the other.
It is a hard choice. But you have to look deep in your heart and see who you are. Then you will know the answer. If the hard road was meant for you, then it will call to you. It will pull on your heart with a siren song. If you feel the pull, then you have no choice. You have to go the hard road. Otherwise, you will always hate yourself and wonder "what could have been" if only you had the balls.
I know you have some health problems. Only you know if you are malingering or not. Plenty of guys say they hurt, but really they are afraid. I am not saying you are one way or the other.
I am saying you should not cheat yourself out of your own dream. You really can do it!
But be enlisted first.

I've learned that our surname is traceable to a noble family from the twelfth century.
We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

I just learned that Platon isnt his real name, but Aristokles. Platon means 'broad' and he probably was given that name, because of his size or wrestling stance.

Gawain is a little bit older than my parents.
Pape is 7 years older than his lovely wife (and about 30 years older than his sweet kid).
Redleg fired 95% of all the stuff he fired whilst training.

That religious hatred law in the U.K. really sounds like it's going to be an immense pain in the bum: I wouldn't even dare complain about a curry the way it's going. Not that I expect people to be prosecuted by such things I just expect non-official attempts at censorship to shoot up.

When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
