I would say go to the Army, Coast Gaurd, or even Border Patrol. The Marines isnt a joke, and they arent looking for people to get in just for better benefits. They are looking for the guys that will go all out in the military. Hence the slogan "The few, The proud, The Marines."

i didn't think of border patrol, but i have a friend who went the coast guard route b/c of the benefits.

All services have the exact same benefit packages. I dont know why this is so hard for people to understand.

If you are an E-4 in the Chair Force and get a x1 bonus upon re-enlistment, it is the exact same money as a Marine E-4 with a x1 bonus.

Just like Tri-Care is the same, basic pay is the same, school benefits are the same, life insurance is the same.

exactly you just have to choose the service that is right for you. but as everyone else has said, dont join the marines if your only joining for the benefits, marines want ppl that want to be challenged not some one who wants to just collect a paycheck and have benefits (not talking about you specifically just generalizing) i just signed my army contract and the job i enlisted for didnt have a signing bonus even though it is a needed job, but it was the job i wanted however i scored high enough on the ASVAB that they almos doubled my MGIB for school so thats a bonus in my opinion. but marines dont have signing bonuses period ( at least as far as i know). just do your research and dont make a hasty decision just to get benefits started.

Ya I almost went into Coast Gaurd or Border Patrol, but went different route. Border Patrol seems cool.
