d00d, you didn't even make it past MEPS. You have no clue what the fuck you're talking about.
Now, I wouldn't suggest joining the Corps, but it all depends on what type of person you are. Conformity is superficial when it comes to the armed forces. It's a steady, decent paycheck which increases as you promote (frequently) and on the 1st day of every new year.
George was a Marine and I'm sure he can attest to all the bullshit you have to put up with. Yes, Jarheads tend to be a bit more gungho (read: robots), however, they also tend to be a bit more kickass. I would suggest the Air Force. They pay the same as everyone else, the girls are more bountiful and the odds of ending up trekking in sand dunes are less.
If you're seriously considering joining, talk to someone who's been in for at least 3 years - they can give you an objective view. Don't talk to the recruiter first. They'll fill your head with shit.
