Answer #1

yea I agree the marines have one of the toughest training regimens in all the armed forces besides special forces. if your unsure about going into combat yes you could become a POG but I recommend looking into the National Guard. theres a lot of oppurtunities they give you during and after your military career. money for college and the likes

Answer #2

Ah, I too am joining the USMC. The USMC isn’t just Infantry, it is everything. I am joining O311, Infantry Rifleman, but you can be anything. If you’re afraid of combat, then be a POG[Personnel Other than Grunt]. You won’t be gone very long for deployments, about 7-18 months at a time with 1-3 months on leave.

About your girlfriend, if she can’t wait for you then she’s not for you. My girlfriend of 1yr. 6 mths. is still with me and I leave in a year to enlist. Tell her there’s non-Combatant positions, unless of course you really want to be in combat.

The USMC isn’t for anyone though. You have to be physically tough, and mentally tougher. I hope it helped you.
