What are the chances of dying in the Marines?

Answer 1

Your chances of dying in the Marine Corps depend mainly on your chosen MOS (job). Some jobs are more dangerous than others.

if you're worried about death or your safety, the Air Force is probably the way you want to go, no disrespect to them, as they were once in my consideration for my enlistment. The reason why the Air Force is the way to go for enlistment is because the guys who fight as pilots on the front lines in air, are commissioned officers or warrant officers. Unlike the other branches of the military, in the Air Force, the top brass goes out in fight while the enlisted guys do the pit stop work. The actual fighting is done by the officers. As a Marine, it is your duty to be willing to lay your life on the line day in and day out for your country and do anything to defend it and the other Marines in your team or unit. A Marine is only as strong as the man next to him. Semper Fi.

Answer 2

Well that's a tricky question. I would say, you have better chances of surviving in the corps than in the army...It's a simple ratio issue...Better training for generalized jobs...IE every Marine is a rifleman first and foremost. We shoot from farther away, so I'd say our abilities are general higher. Also no offense to the Army (had family and step father in that branch) but the standards are getting relaxed...I saw a man that looked 275lbs squeezed into cammies..gross...and not effective...

I would say there is a chance you will die in any other branch...but it you count dying because someone else isn't trained..go Army...and they relax on their 14 month deployments!!!

Marines usually only will deploy for 7 months at a clip..and you're trained to go in and destroy stuff then you get out. Army than moves in for the rebuilding of the area..


Just look up individual casualty reports per branch...you'll see...

Answer 3

Dying in the Navy SEALS is fairly slim. Mostly because no threat really knows their there until they are gone.They work in small groups so its easy to move without being spotted. But they are always out numbered by tens, hundreds, or even thousands. Never have as much fire power as the enemy. But theres no really telling. You just don't want get your self stuck at a hard point, that's what gets you killed.
