      Nope, glasses can be a pain at times but its do-able, alot of folks have glasses. You couldnt wear contacts in Boot Camp when I was in and you really shouldnt anyway for various chemical related reasons like CS and OC spray but sometimes its ok after you get to your unit.
      My advice is do the shortest contract you can at first, most people choose not to stay in, other than that Ill hold my tongue , to each their own.

    1. Higher standards from day one.
    2. Constant focus on combat readiness that enables all Marines to fall back on training that will keep them alive, and a response time of 18 hours anywhere in the world.
    3. Focusing (or at least attempting to focus) on practicality and being direct.
    4. Aggression.
    5. Common thread throughout all Marines that unites us is our history and culture. We know who we are and what we’re here for. We can rely on it in and times to get us through.
    6. Adaptability to any situation. Look at the self contained concept of a MEU if you don’t believe me.
    It’s an honor to stand next to our Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and National Guard Brothers and Sisters. Semper Fidelis.

    When I was in the corps, I often looked at other branches and realized the the marines are just a lot more strict and intense about almost everything. I actually wished I went into a different branch until we went to Kuwait awaiting the Iraqi invasion.
    I was told to scribe for a general who went to a few fighting holes on the border to inquire about how to improve moral. The army fighting holes asked for better chow, shower facilities, laundry & latrines (bathrooms). The Marines questioned only asked for more ammo. Then I realized that we were just use to miserable conditions and we’re obsessed with achieving the mission. After we went in Iraq, I heard many army personnel bragging about requesting mass and complaining to higher ups about the conditions. I was embarrassed for them and felt great about my choice to be a marine. Just different cultures.

    I wish I wasn’t commenting on this. I personally went through Parris Island in June -August of 91. This nonsense that’s being heap upon us now is just straight up SHIT! Marines don’t have all the equipment. The other services do. Marines have to endure hard living , all the time, and the other services don’t. We never had barracks or living quarters like the other services. Everybody bitched about it but nothing changed. We all depended on each other. So much so that I’m still to this day closer to those guys than I am to my own brothers. You just have to realize the Marines make MEN! That’s who fight the wars. Not rock stars and SISSIES.

  • @newera5238

    I’ve served in the Marines and Army. One of many things I’ve noticed was the number of helpers (workers). The same 15 soldiers the Army would use the Marines done it with 4 troops. Another thing was the speed in which we done things in the corp was Barry Allen, while in the Army we moved at our own pace. I have love for BOTH branches, but the USMC just sits differently in my heart 😁🔥

    • @DrewHop325

      The history books paint a different picture. I've herd several guys say they served in both branches, and they were full of shit. Who and where did you serve in the Army? Being self-sufficient is the goal of all fighting forces kid. There is a reason the ARMY is always in charge because the second string is just that the Marines. The few the Proud the second string.

    What appeals to me is the ability to maintain those higher standards. As an expeditionary force, The Marines have the reasons to be serious 24/7, 365, forever in peace. Other branches atrophy when there is not an ever-present threat. The Marine Corps IS that ever-present threat to others.
