Feeling down?
Don't know what to do with your life?
Want to get in shape?
Want to get over social anxiety?
Want to have purpose?
Why not join the military?
sure it is hard work but if you really want to straighten your life out then it will require some amount of work, at least the military will give you some guidance.
I already joined
It's pretty boring but easy I guess
>>25434178
>tfw military doesn't accept the mentally ill, so literally 100% of true robots
There are bizarre reasons as to why it wouldn't be ideal for me to currently join any active service.
When you know a background check gives you conflicting results, there will be a problem in the process.
>>25434246
>When you know a background check gives you conflicting results, there will be a problem in the process.
why anon, did you get arrested or something?
>>25434178
this is literally what I did. Had all those wants. I've been in the Marine Corps for almost a year now, and my life has changed so much. I'm 100 more confident in myself, have a decent future, people love Marines especially ladies, and im actually doing something with myself.
>>25434178
Feeling down? yes
Don't know what to do with your life? yes
Want to get in shape? indifferent, but physical activity in the military is easy
Want to get over social anxiety? been comfortable with it for along time
Want to have purpose? why do I need one?
Why not join the military? I already made that mistake. Shit is retarded. Can't wait until I'm done with this shit. I'm tired of being forced into bullshit just so some stupid officer (someone who couldn't find a real job with this most likely useless degree) can be satisfied with the bullets on his powerpoint slides.
>>25434279
Nah, some bastards had that one-sided problem with me when I was in uni. They made it worse than it seems and put me in hot water for a long time.
>>25434287

I'm afraid that I'd just be wasting their time.
I'm not interested in fighting for politicians.
Does military accept asthma fags?
>>25434178
>Want to get over social anxiety?
>Want to have purpose?
Then infantry sure as fuck isn't for you.
Becoming one of thousands of easily disposable lives doesn't sound appealing, if I wanted to have a meaningless death I would have done it a long time ago.
>>25434722
No
But you can lie and make it in easily if it's not serious asthma
>>25434634
Alright, thanks for letting me leave, I'd be afraid you'd have me kill other people, as is what the military is intended for. Or worse yet and more probable, I'd be killed myself.
>>25434722
it depends on how bad it is, but they are becoming more lenient with letting asthmatics join
But I'm already been in the military for over 4 years now.
>Still have no friends
>Still no gf
>Still posting on a Laotian kite fishing forum
>>25434794
I hope you know that most jobs in the military are support stuff and you barely ever see combat, you spend more time cleaning windows than shooting your M4
War movies really made people not know how to real military is
Don't want to be a murderer or a government attack dog/slave
>>25434178
I'd be bored out of my skull.
Also I'd be a hilariously bad solider.
>>25434865
Right, and those jobs are done for other people. People I'd rather not see in power at all.
>>25434794
>>25434885
>People actually believe if they join the military they'll kill people
Brush I've been deployed to the Middle East twice for 7 months at a time and I haven't even been shot at. Hell, there are jobs in the military where you won't even be trained with a gun because you'll literally never use one.
>>25434991
Yeah, that's all well and good, but how does it feel to be a grunt for an utterly diabolical organization? I'll stay as far away as that as I possibly can and do whatever I can to fight it.
>>25434991
Meant to say Bruh not Brush damn autocorrect
After the terrorist attack in France last year I took the different test to join (and successfully passed them). I have an interview next week to see in which branch I'll be affiliate.
>>25435023
>a grunt for an utterly diabolical organization
Fast food chains kill more people than the military so not that bad compared to the sandwich artists and burger flippers of /r9k/
>>25434178
Pretty sure they wouldn't take me because of my anxiety related high pulse/blood pressure.
>>25435023
Well at 24 I've done and seen things most will never will, I have a stable source of income, and I drive around in a Porsche so it's pretty meh.
>>25435046
Ok, so I'll avoid that too. I live in an extremely rural area. Thanks for the facts
>>25435113
why do you care about good and bad? Isnt hurting normies good thing?
>>25434722
As I posted in another thread

Do it faggot, best thing I ever did. Kept my asthma hidden and it's got better to the point of not being an issue any more and I'm doing well.
I don't my balls blow out
>>25435147
It's hilarious how much people believe MEPS when they say there's a database that has all of your medical records and they can pull them anytime even though recruiters constantly tell people it's a lie and that's a felony
It's the one thing recruiters say that's the truth
>yfw the military has killed innocent qts like these two
>>25435145
I guess I shouldn't be posting in this thread because the first post hardly applies to me. I do care about good and bad, and based on my observations the military is pure evil. I'll go do something constructive now. Maybe I'll be convinced that joining the military is better than my decent job at another time though.
I am leaving for the French Foreign Legion in a three weeks. Are there any other anons going too?
Can also provide some advice regarding training and the right mindset I have got from one ex-legionaire.
>>25435205

No
I have no interest in learning French, fighting for a country in a different continent than my home, and going to the Muslim capital of the west
>>25435240
That sounds like absolute shit. What the fuck were you thinking. Jesus fucking christ you're probably a normie but I hope you do alright anyways faggot.
>>25435240
Are you a young American male? If so they will probably turn you away
>>25435245

>>25435324
>I care about child #43503945090 who died today
>>25435315
No, I am not. Eastern Europe here. It really can't be worse than home. At least you are doing something and you get food on regular basis.
>>25435310
Why so buttblasted, anon? Tell me about your life.
>>25435292
I don't really care about the France or French. The service is good, experience and knowledge absolutely priceless. Good money too, as well brotherhood and friends you make there. Anything else is a nice bonus.
>>25435353
It's not like I cry over their deaths but why support an organisation that has killed them indiscriminately and then said "oops, our bad xD?"
>>25435433
Every organization has killed children before
>>25435408
Im in the US Military. I hardly have to do any difficult work and I get paid more than you will, the French Foreign Legion is supposed to be not only very difficult, but filled with brown people.
>>25435459
>filled with brown people.
Nope. I believe there are more in the US armed forces, than in the Legion. In FFL, there are lots of Eastern Asians, Eastern Europeans and Brazilians. Very little blacks and little to no Arabs. At least this told me few guys who where there for a few years.
And yeah, of course you get paid better and the work will be much more comfortable, as well the training. But what the hell I have to do about it? I am not American, anon.
>>25435448
Doesn't excuse them. They haven't done much good for the country, despite what they say.
Drug addiction, sexual abuse of boys and production of heroin in Afghanistan rose after the fall of the Taliban. Nearly half of Afghan children suffer from malnutrition.
Sure, the USA did help, such as building schools and preventing further killing of Hazaras, but that will all be undone as the Americans have left and the ANA is badly trained against the Taliban.
The USA acts like they went in to help the people and that they succeeded, but they didn't. Lost lives on both sides, why join something that spreads such lies?
>>25435521
You can join the US military as well if you have a degree
>>25435315
why would they turn an American away?
Joining the navy, leaving in April. I really cannot wait
>>25435590
Because Americans go AWOL in the FFL more because the conditions are garbage and anyone from a first world country realizes that they can just go back to their old country and live a better life and get paid more doing literally anything else
>>25435598
Hey I'm leaving in February. Whats your rating? Also are you that kid who posted his face and i said looked like a marine?
>>25435578
I don't have any degree, anon. I actually like the Legion. Great history, traditions and spirit. I will try my luck there.
>>25435590
Too high standard of the living. They prefer losers from poor countries who will not defect/desert and finish the five-year contract. This basically >>25435628
>>25435590
They get too many kids just out of school or university who just want some adventure to "escape" their dreadful middle class lives. It's the equivalent of dumb 18-20 year old bitches running off to join the porn industry and thinking they're hot shit for the first 3 months until the industry spits them out like the used meat they are and finds new meat.
They like eastern Europeans and British people, especially if they were in the British Army.
>>25435628
I'm going to try and join the Legion after paying my debts. I'm an American, so hopefully you're wrong.
>>25435686
>>25435645
>>25435628
And yet there are Europoors trying to convince me that being American is overrated. Any other country besides Canada and Australia just seems like a terrifying, dog eat dog place.
>>25435720
There's a decent amount of stories about Americans trying to join the FFL
Why would you want to anyway? your own military is better, easier, and pays more. The FFL isn't some mystical service that turns you into a hardass
>>25435745
they don't want me. criminal, no education, ect.
>>25435796
>Criminal
Yeah, one of the other reasons I will try the Legion. Our own army is ridiculously hard about this, one probation and you are fucked for life.
I am going with my debt, If I get in, I can pay them pretty easily.
>>25435796
Why were you such a normie, it's literally not hard to graduate high school and not break the law
>>25434195
This. This. This. 100x.

You sound like you have a hard, rugged life anon, why do you come to this board filled with lazy Neets and manchildren?
>>25435836
high school is terrible, and breaking the law? more complicated but no point explaining.
>>25434195

How? Did your parents do this to you? I am 85 % sure I am mildly schizophrenic and I made it in the Military.

>Can't afford college or trade school, even if I could, I don't have ambition or know what I wanted to learn
>trying to apply for wagecuck jobs with no references
Well my fate is sealed
>>25435726
It mainly comes down to how immature Americans are. It's a cultural thing, I think it's because you're such a young country but I also think it's because of how infantilising a lot of your culture is and how its so focused on consumption, it breeds immaturity. It is partly because of the conditions, but it's also the culture shock. That's why people from most other countries in the world - first world or not - are more likely to be accepted, probably.
>>25434178
I was already planning on this actually
For the same reasons too
>>25435967
People romanticize the FFL way too much and think their life of getting paid average or being in college is the worst so they join the FFL because they think it will give them a new life and be super exciting then they get to the real thing and realize any job in the US is better
>>25435919
Oh, man.. guess I shouldn't have told the employees at the psychiatric hospital that I was actually a movie star studying for a role.. Oh, and these pills I take? Oh, just sugar pills.
Get the fuck out, normie.
>>25435886
Well, even if you have a shitty life in a poor country, it does not exclude the possibility that you are still a social failure. I started going here some time back, when there were much more people like me. It is not that bad today, but still - either I am getting old, dumb or there are less of our kind here.
Anyways I wish all of you future military guys good luck, strength and successful careers. We can do it, no matter where.
>>25436064
You shouldn't have volunteered yourself to go to a psychiatric hospital idiot, trurobots bottle up their problems their entire life until they turn into Elliot
>>25436095
Different when you don't suffer normie-tier bullshit like depression and, instead, experience constant delusions, have major depressive disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder. Can't bottle up delusions, buddy.

Lel, I'm British and I'm an army officer. I live a comfortable, well paid, well off life. I eat all my meals in a grand chandelier-lit dining room being served my food by waiting staff.
Keep telling me how I'm living in poverty.

My country's army is mostly conscription based and I'm too old to join the marines or officer school. I'm applying to sargeant school this year, maybe I can get in.
Might join the FFL after graduating college, but if their standards are as high as people say I'll probably be rejected
>>25435222
You're one of those guys who bought the "AMERICA IS EVIL" meme
How bitchy are they really about GEDs
Because openly putting myself up to be bitched at by someone with a low iq sure is how i want to spend 4+ years of my life.
Ive already done it ive considered going back but the above is what is stopping me from returning.

You're going to be a bitch for any job, even as a civilian, retard.

Naw son in the military your life is being a bitch at least i can walk off from civilian shit whenever i want.
Three emergency surgeries as a kid + one lifelong medical condition - four feet of small intestine = no chance at joining the military for me. Fucking hooray.
Joining National Guard to pay tuition and rent dorm worth it at all?
>>25434298
FUCKING THIS!!!!!!
If you have or even THINK you have a mental disorder, DO NOT FUCKING JOIN THE MILITARY. They have no clue what they're doing when it comes to mental health
Going to basic tomorrow, posting from MEPS. I'm doing Airborne Artillery, anyone have any experience with this?
Are the benifits as good as they seem?
>>25441072
National guard can deny paying for your college since the state pays it with their own money instead of the government, so a free ride in college isn't 100% guaranteed
>>25442757
Fuck yes, don't be stupid and take advantage of all the free shit they give out. Do some research on the GI Bill, IIRC you can already start taking classes for free before your term is up. There's also a special military program that lets you apply for cheap mortgages so you can buy a house right after you leave too if you've got a good credit score.
>>25442816
>IIRC you can already start taking classes for free before your term is up
That's called TA, you have to wait a year after graduating AIT until you can use it. And you can only buy a house if you have a dependent or you're married
>>25434178
>Currently getting my HS and A levels (College) afterwards to join the military, hopefully as a helo pilot
With my history of depression, I doubt I'll make it to be honest.

Why are you still on /r9k/?
>>25435324
Can we just all agree both the Jews and sandniggers are evil instead of this "the durkastinians are and the kikes are evil"
i really want to go in the army as an 11B because i want to shoot guns and kill sandniggers etc, but the part that make me change my mind is the showers. how gay is it?
Word of advice: If you choose to join, do the college route first, whether that's ROTC or an alternative. You'll enter as an officer with substantially higher pay.
In Switzerland, there still is conscription for males. The army is literally chadbro central and hell for autists like you and I. If you're not a /fit/ chad it's by far worse than anything normal society could have prepared you for. Add to that that our army is basically useless anyway and is just a bunch of dick-measuring contests disguised as training.

I did senpai
Doesn't help with the loneliness and tfw nogf but it gets the rage out
If for some reason I fuck up my masters degree, I've decided that I'm going to join the military -- probably enlist since I don't have any leadership experience to apply for a commission/OCS. It's going to suck balls being a 29 year old E-3/E-4 but it can't be worse than making $35k/yr for the rest of my life as a lower middle class manual labor wageslave.
>>25445983
you dont necessarily need leadership experience for it, its nice and makes up for crappy shit in other portions. might play a role in certain parts but the test scores and Gpa also play a role too
i dont really have much in that area but i applied anyway. your age might be the biggest issue i think ocs limit is 32?
>>25446298
Really? I thought about applying for OCS right out of undergrad but I was under the impression that leadership is a huge component of being offered a commission. I have a good GPA (>3.8 in STEM) and I'm going to start working out so I'm sure the physical fitness aspect won't be too hard, it's just that I have no one to write me good letters of recommendation.
And yeah, depending on the branch it's around there. I'd most likely do the Army because it's the largest and offers the most jobs and opportunities. I believe their limit is 32 by the age of commission.
>>25446370
i have a 3.5 in a stem degree with no real leadership experience and did good on the aptitude test and my recruiter said i had a good shot of getting in
my recommendation letters are iffy-to decent
any employers? professor? doing research with any PI? those were my rec letters
