[QUOTE="CEV, post: 9234523, member: 68314"] Ok as of the past few weeks I have really been doing some thinking on where exactly my life is heading and one thing that keeps recurring in my head is giving the USMC another go. I say "another" because I have already been down this route before. Unfortunately the first time I had a recruiter who was more interested with just getting me through MEPS then actually making sure I was ready to go and I collapsed inside MEPS due to malnutrition. (He wouldn't let me drink too much water, had me sit in a sauna for 3 hours straight every day, work out for 3 hours daily, and I was barely allowed to eat just so I could cut weight fast enough) I dropped from 239 to 213 in 3 weeks so I could pass the physical. But that's another story altogether. Anyway, they said I could try again in 6 months but by that point I was totally disgusted I just joined the work force again and said ill just stick to college. Now I have been in college for a year and a half, been working full time due to the fact I need to pick up the slack since my step-father is out of work from a home accident. (Truck fell on him). I am not moving along fast enough as I would like to and the way its looking I may need to drop out of school period. I was already accepted to the NYPD I just needed my college credits. However I also know 4 years of military service would suffice as well. The idea of the marines never totally escaped my head and it was always something I was very adamant about and now seeing the way things are going now I am considering it again. (FYI I was 21 the first time I'm 23 now) Now for my question or questions. [B]Do you guys currently active think this is a good idea? Or am I blowing smoke up my own ass?[/B] I know the worst thing you can do for something like this is ask other people because they will just confuse you more but I just don't want to make a mistake. I respect the armed forces and aside from the monetary aspect of it I feel it would propel me further where I want to go in my life. [B]How do you guys deal with missing your families?[/B] I feel like if something were to happen to my mother while I'm gone I would never live with myself. I am rambling now but I think I made my point. I would really like some honest opinions from those who have been there. Thanks guys. [/QUOTE]
