Find your nearest Marine recruiting office. Do your testing. Have your background check ran. SIGN ON THE DOTTED LINE. Wait about 30-45 days and go to MCRD. Once you get to MCRD figure out a way to get through the TOUGHEST 13 weeks of your life. Graduate boot camp. Go to your MOS schooling. If you went 0300, ENJOY! Get assigned your first duty station after schooling. Figure out a “fast track” to E-4 as E-1 to E-3 will pull you every s**t duty there is. Get lucky enough to work for the most hardcore asshole Gunny that the Corps has. Your mere existence will piss him off!! Get deployed overseas for 6–12 months a couple or three times. Do the “seabag d**g” about 6 times in 4 years. Figure out a way to keep your uniforms “inspection ready” AT ALL TIMES while they are rolled up in your seabag. You will become “creative”. FYI…Gunny doesn't like excuses. Spend some time on a “tin can” in the middle of the ocean wandering why the hell you are there. YOU DIDN'T JOIN THE NAVY!…LOL…See more of the world in 4 years than you ever wanted to see. Make good friends only to see you separated from them when one of you leaves for another assignment. Know that at any given moment, night or day, that you could have 24 hours to “pack your crap” and be on the “flight line”. There's a good chance you won't even know where you are going until that bird is in the air. FYI…If they brought your units “armory” and a couple 2111s on that bird you can bet your last dollar that your not headed for Disneyland. “Tough” is a relative term. You will either love YOUR Marine Corps or you will h**e MY Marine Corps. I will still be here when you get back. Let me know how “tough” you thought it was.

We are called “The Few, The Proud” for a reason.

Unless things have changed a great deal, the first seconds of their first "wake-call" in "Receiving Barracks" will remove all doubt.

I, for one, will certainly never forget that first second.

I kind'a figure that ones introduction to the infamous 'yellow footprints' will do it (remove all doubts

)

The Airforce guy was standing around in the campground bragging that he was so tough that he had to fight off 10 hijackers who tried to take his plane and prevent him from getting there. The Army guy said he was so tough that when his troop carrier had a flat he picked it up while his troops changed the tire. The Navy guy bragged about crossing the ocean in a rowboat while pumping the bilge by hand and he still made it o the campground. The Marine just sat there quietly stirring the coals of the fire with his dick.

Once a Marine always a Marine. I was out one day with a friend of mine, both of us civilians after serving, when we bought some stuff. I used my card because I got a discount. He asked me how much he owed and I said not to worry about, but he insisted, so, I said "give me 20!" but when I turned around he wasn't there.................he was doing pushups............about 20 of them I believe.

Yep, Marines don't bother saying how tough they are. By the time a Marine gets out of basic, he knows he can never be outgunned or outmanned, why flash the "I'm a tough guy?" However, if a situation comes up and he's tested, the other guy will think 'Why did I try him?'
