I joined the Marine Corps in 1996. The reason i joined was i needed a free medical service. I was sick and no doctors could help me. and i didn't have no more money to go to doctors. I spend one year in the Marine Corps. I didn't appear outwardly that i was sick. People couldn't understand i acted like i was nervous all the time. I had Serious stomach acid problems and No relief for a week at a time, I was getting pounding headaches all the time. I found the Military doctors couldn't help me neither. So i decided to end my life there. I thought i was going crazy. A military psychologist told me that he needs to send me to a psycho ward and he will process a discharge for me to see if i could get help outside. That is how i got out of the military. I met a doctor after my discharge and the cure was so simple. I got complete cured. Now I have my own business and i made a decent living. However, I feel bad that i am not there in iraq. I am 36 now. Should I join MC again?

1) you're too old
2) go back the the shrink. why do you want to go fight an unwinnable "war" that could possibly get you killed?!
3) if you were not honorably discharged or your record with the shrink is attached to your record,they won't take you back

As someone who have completed Marine Corps Boot Camp and completed Marine Infantry School, I can tell you know very little about The Marine Corps. First off the Corps Boot Camp is longer than the Army's and the Corps have all sorts of training schools after Boot Camp. Women do not train the same as men and are not with them in Boot Camp like the Army. Marines train aboard ships and each infantry marine shoot at stationary targets as far away as 500m as well as pop ups. I will not try and go through all the training that a marine must complete but I will say that the Army is a fine branch but the Marine Corps are better trained for warfare hands down.

Most likely you received an honorable discharge under medial reasons. The Marine Corps. most likely will not allow you to reenlist. You will be in with men too young for you to mesh with. If I were you I would not attempt reenlisting. There are many other things you can do instead. Support your troops. Speak out against the anti-military people in government. Stand up and be counted for your President. He is the Commander in Chief. Maybe not always right but if your to win, His commands are to be followed.

Better act quick you are running out of time. I would re up myself if I was not so shot up from Nam . There is nothing better than the smell of napalm in the air . mixed with smoke from a 50.Damn If you go call me maybe I can convince them of taking a old gunny back. I can still group my shots in a 6 inch pattern at 1500 yards .Hell yeah lets go.

sure go with your conscience. You sound like a good guy and the MC could use a guy like you. But hopefully Obama or someone like him with a strong antiwar platform gets in and we get out of there!!! Booyaa
