if you're an active or former marine, tell me a little bit of what everything as a marine is like.

Not particularly. I doubt I could even do one pull up, so I think we have a neutral agreement to stay the hell away from each other.

Congratualtion. Go for it. The Marines is a Great Carear to follow especially if you need money for college. Just be warned though Marines can mess up a person mentally.

Former Marine here, and I can say if you have the mental capacity that "you can do this, you can do that" during boot camp then you have an advantage.

Im not sure about marines, but I'm in Army ROTC and we have alot of retired people and recruiters come over and talk to us, and they've told us that officer jobs are more like careers because you'll be getting paid we'll enough so you don't want to leave.

Best of luck to you, we need Marines.

I've been in the Air Force for over 3 years now, and I've never heard of a "Robotics Program." I think someone lied to you...

Either way, the atrocities of Sadaam are poor rationalizations for the invasion of Iraq when there are so many other tyrants and dictators, who in same cases are worse than we was.
