If a man enjoys physical training and marching (hiking, out-doors activities), rifles and other small arms, and armored vehicles (AMTRACKs-Amphibious Tractors, tanks, etc.) then the Marines are for him. If a man enjoys computers, a bed to sleep in, a cafeteria to eat in, and a decent paying job that enables him to retire for the rest of his life...(20 years of service; NO OTHER JOB IN THE United States of America offers that kind of retirement! This goes for the Marines, Army, Navy, and Coast Guard also.), then the Air Force (or Navy) is for him. The Army & Marines are geared for outdoorsmen. It is inherent to fighting on the ground; sleeping on the ground, eating rations, fighting hand to hand (bayonent to bayonent), no place to conduct personal hygiene except in the bush or open hole somewhere behind a rock, etc. Army & Marines certainly do have hi-tech computer jobs...but as a whole, these two branches are geared for fighting in the dirt!
Children do not affect your ability to join the Marines.
If "rate" is defined as (Total deaths in theater from Battle, Wounds and Other ) / (Total Serving), the question can be answered for individual conflicts. This makes it clear that the Marines have the highest death rate (and I'm an Army vet). WWI Army 7.40% Navy 1.35% Marines 15.69% WWII Army/Airforce 7.85% Navy 2.40% Marines 13.86% Korea Army 3.79% Navy 0.19% Marines 6.66% Airforce 0.15% Vietnam Army 3.09% Navy 0.37% Marines 8.34% Airforce 0.20% Persian Gulf Army 0.07% Navy 0.01% Marines 0.08% Airforce 0.01%
if you have a criminal record can you still join the marines commando
The military, private owners, and that's about it
Probably better skinny than obese. In most cases they can cure the problem.

Go down and see the recruiter.
