I was a Marine infantry platoon commander in the '70s. My guys thought they were tough until we spent a day with Recon. They showed us that we couldn't keep up and that we weren't as tough as we thought we were. Each branch has their elite and then their regular guys who are just a reflection of society at large. Marines have Recon and now Raiders, Navy has Seals, Army has Rangers and Green Berets, Air Force has their Parajumpers, Coast Guard has Rescue Swimmers. All these have endured physical and mental stress that would break most people. So all this talk about which branch is toughest is just a bunch of baloney.

As a Marine, I must say I respect your honesty and candidness when speaking of the Army's new basic training schedule and guidelines. Each branch makes fun of each other, but in a cousinly way of course. And if it's a "shark attack" you guys that are thinking about going in truly want, the Marine Corps will give you 13 weeks of it every single day... Semper Fun

Doesn’t matter what branch you are in. you are still serving, you still bleed red.

You should go for the Army if:
-You want to become a mechanic, or some sort of engineer.
-You want to do artillery or any field stuff.
-You want to be a Green Beret or a Ranger.
You should join the Navy if:
-You are a tech nerd.
-You like the sea.
-You want to be surrounded by a very traditional military culture.
-You like submarines and nukes.
You should go for the Air Force if:
-You are tech nerd.
-You like office jobs.
-You like the sky and space.
-You like luxury.
-You like nuclear weapons.
You should join the Marine Corps if:
-Your main objective is to be in the battleground.
-You like Brotherhood.
-You want to wear that luxurious uniform.
-You want to join one of the most challenging branch in the entire world.

The USMC is changing a lot too. They just handed over all their tanks to the army, and they're restructuring to reflect the Marine Corps of the 80s

[YouReallyDontKnow]

I don’t think it’s a matter of being soft or not, I think the army is just doing what they can to make sure they keep up the numbers.
Joining the military isn’t something a lot of young people are into nowadays, so the army just wants to make sure those that actually do want to join will get in...no matter if they should be able to join or not lol, but I’ve met plenty of folks who shouldn’t be in the military who are, so it is what it is I guess.
Gotta do what you gotta do to keep those numbers up lol

[HeyItsJoe]

To take something old Jocko said on his podcast. You shouldn't join a branch or job because of how hard or how cool the training is, it should be because you want to do that job. At the end of the day I'm going to join the army (national guard) because it's what fits my life and what I want to do. Hopefully I can help elevate those around me to meet the proper fitness requirements lol

[thesemi-interesting]

Dude this was like perfect timing with my thoughts.

[vel]

I guess it’s time for me to enlist with my beer belly I’ll pass basic training with flying colors

[joejassydowningeorgia]

I spent 8 years in the Marines. It is a small organization. Promotion is harder. The average retirement rank is E-7 for Enlisted and O-4 for Officers (if you are exceptional) The army is E-8 and O-5. That is what you need to look at if you pla guysn to stay 20 years. In the end, the health benefits of 20 years is what's important. Think it through

[RDBB]

100% Agree with you @MattWard

I thought everyday during basic and AIT I wished I had joined the marines due to their professionalism, discipline and high standards. Today I’m 11B and my unit is pretty good so I’m okay.. for now... but I am trying to commission. God willing I can influence what we do at least at my company level

All branches are going down this path. Marines recently lowered IOT physical requirements so a woman could finally pass it.

[AjaniGrim]

I have 7 days to go take my Asvab wish me luck fellows
Update I pass so I don’t have to wait 6 month to retake it however my GT score was off by 3point so I’m going take it again

If you want to deploy more frequently, spend a lot of time in the field, shoot your rifle all the time, and basically live out that title of Soldier or Marine, I would suggest an Army Airborne Infantry contract, or a Marine Infantry contract. If you want to do "hardcore" stuff and you have the correct mindset, personality, determination, Intelligence, physical fitness level, and you are comfortable in the water then I would suggest getting a contract for a Special operations or a Special operations capable unit (Ranger, 18-X, PJ, SOWT, SWCC, SEAL, Recon, etc). Outside of that the Marine Corps has higher standards, and the Army has better funding. I will say this, if you join the Marines and want to change your branch of service after 1 enlistment you can keep your rank and skip basic training, if you want to join the Marines after another branch of service you will start all over again. All of the branches have their pros and cons, if you are thinking about joining and stumble across this comment do some serious research.

I graduated BCT about 3 weeks ago and am at AIT. Thank you for all of your content as it made me feel like I was better prepared for basic and made basic "easier" for me. Thank you -PFC Mackes

I think what the CSM is trying to do with "The First Hundred Yards" is get new recruits from the start working as team. Also getting them in the mindset to accomplish a mission with little guidances. One task is they will given a mission to complete with mishap on the way. I think the CSM idea with this is to build more confident recruits from day one.

2020 : -Army removes ACFT as requirements to pass BCT-

2025 : -Army removes BCT to become a soldier
