Marines are basically the Slavs of america atm
yeah brute forcing shit doesn't work out so well irl
The army isn't all amazing either but we have our shit together relatively speaking
Honestly if the corps would get it's shit squared away, it wouldn't be so bad.
Their biggest issue is lack of focus branchwise
But with things going the way they are, I doubt they will
I think the Navy is doing the best atm
They don't know what they want to be as a force
Idk man I have friends in the 7th fleet
And they paint a different picture about the navy
I.e undermanned, overworked, shits falling apart, Chiefs are half shitty etc
Turning into the brits
I mean that same complaint can be extended mil wide but you squids got it rough sometimes
Ya we are under manned but it depends on command really
Military in general is in some bad times
Honestly joining in peacetime is kinda stupid unless you do a very technical role
And at that point just go air force and have it easy
Or coast guard and go do something useful
My step brother is a coastie
It's underrated
Everyone shits on it but they're a cool branch
I have only had interactions with him and honestly those are pretty few and far between. But they do some cool drug interdiction stuff.
Lol yeah that's more than you can say for the rest of us
That whole not getting paid during government shutdown is pretty fucked though.
I did some fun stuff in the army but like damn most of it was just waiting around
Saaaaaaame
Yeah that part was shitty
Back in 2014 we had something similar with the shutdown then
When DoD wasn't funded
2011 it happened too
Everything around base was closed for 2 weeks
Nothing happened
I was in Germany and they were like hey no ones getting paid
Yep it's pretty dumb
We were in Graf so it didn’t really make a difference to us at the time
But yeah the constant doing nothing especially once the wars mostly ended is the worst part
Totally agreed. Garrison army shit blows. Deployments are a whole different beast.
It's an SOF world now
I enlisted during war time when there was that mini surge to Afghanistan in 2011
And didn't get to go
