army or maines

neither

why would you post that? how did it help the threads creator make his decision? You may have heard some bad stories your father shared with you, but unless you served in the military how can you say it is not for someone?


If the OP is looking purely for benefits , the Marine Corps will not be your best choice. The best advice I can give you is to check all branches out(including Coast Guard) and see what different jobs they have to offer. Military job experience is highly respected on resumes especially if the trade is the same as your job experience.

my whole family is in the military or has been in except for me, and my dad currently still works for the navy but as a civilian so it's not some "bad" stories that have been told. i will say neither of those two, check out the coast guard like you said or maybe the navy. they pay for my bro to go to school BUT he does sometimes have problems with the GI bill.

If you really want to critique i will dig up some info on how WAR veterans are treated in this country, it's really fucking sad man. they go to sunny camp iraq, lose a limb and come home with no pot to piss in or little to know help from the gov't, hence alot of private arganizations that fund most of the care for these people and try to get them basic housing. seriously read up on that it is becoming a bigger issue.
