    Nice... I was primarily a truck driver and sometimes a gunner. (240B & MK-19) So I wasn't cool enough to have a 203. lol

    Re: wanna join the marine corps

    When is was in BCT back in 2000 we still used M16A2 but now army is using A4 and M4 but I a much bigger fan of the M16 than the M4. Better range and accuracy. My brother who was in training last year said that he used the M16A4. Anyways I would rather see people join the Army and Corp rather than the Navy or Airforce. Personal Experience with both working with all the service that the Army and Corp are more for reals than Navy and Airforce. At least the ones joining for the Army and Corp know they will be going to the Box. I alway here that the Navy and Airfore tells their applicants that Â*they will never deploy to the box and they are safe. And the airforce recruiter tells thier applicants that they make more than everyone else. I look at it this way why join the service if your not willing to give your life for this country. We all take the same oath when we enlist.

    Again Good luck, Be Real, and be Persistent. Remember people need us we don't need them.

    Not to mention, if you really want an A2, you can pick them up army surplus for pretty cheap now since the A4 and M4 are taking over now.
    I was trying to build my own AR, but ended up purchasing a Stag M4.

    Still qual with the 9mm... We don't qual with the .45... Well, we do for CQB but not for the standard USMC qual.

    Re: wanna join the marine corps

    You couldn't pay me enough to be a Marine. Looks like most of you who posted on here were infantry or what ever the Marines call it. You know what that equals? NEPUT!!!

    I'm ex Army and really don't have any love for it either. If I had my druthers I would have gone Air Force. The smart people are there and the ones who can't cut it are Marines or Army. You can argue all you like you don't see grunts in the Air Force save for the MP's.

    If you can't figure or don't know what the NEPUT means it's Non Electric Pop Up Target. Infantry or any such rating applies to it.

    Don't get me wrong I'm glad that there are people who will or did sign up for the Marines. It kept me from having to! O0 O0

    ^I'm not infantry. I'm actually a Radio and Electonics repair Tech. I just have ALOT of cross-training, lol.

    I literally qualified for every job in any of the forces, and this is what I chose. (on the enlisted side anyway) I absolutely love what I do, and I am glad I didn't go into any other service.

    that's good hear. Shorter mussel better for combat this day. Better for MOUT and CQB.

    Re: wanna join the marine corps

    No man... the a4 is the about the same length as the a2... matter of fact, the only real differences are that instead of the normal hand guards like the a2, it has a rail system; rail system where the site goes, and the windage and elevation marks and clicks are a little different.

    The m4 is the little short guy with the collapsable stock for CQB

    You cant say that the M4 is less accurate. The past 7 years I have been in I have been expert every time I've gone to the range. The last 2 years in a row I got 240 out of 250 on the KD portion with M16A4. I just shot a couple of weeks ago with the M4 for the first time and I shot a 241 out of 250 on KD. Its not the weapon its the shooter, then again it doesn't help that I'm a coach and coach instructor.

    Re: wanna join the marine corps

    Not trying to be negative but almost all of my friends that have been in the military no matter what core, have come back being fucked up, hurt, or in debt because they cant make it in the real world. Maybe it's just where i live, i am from the fresno area and their are a ton of soldiers since the Lemoore Naval Air Base is 30 minutes away.

    Personally most people in it now are their for the college money that they hardly use when the get out, or they feel like they have no other choice because their weak minded. So how in the hell do they think their gonna make it in the marines, army, navy and so on.

    That's where the kindler gentler army bullshit came from, bring that shit back with less incentives and real soldiers would come. I am too Headstrong and hot headed to listen to some drill seargent yell at me, I'll rather get my ass kicked then break down and listen to them but that's how I was raised being full blooded Italian.

    Plus more money is made being a civilan IMO, I do have my various gun's just in case some shit comes our way.

    The end LOL i just hated seeing all my buddies who went away destroy their lives, nearly all said they would take it back if they could.

    Re: wanna join the marine corps

    All military has ups and downs. First 4 years SUCKs. but once you start getting some rank on your collar it gets better. As for the pay, you bet your ass it could be better. But at the same time you have to look at the economy. A lot of people in the civilian world are getting laid off or fired. Military doesnt have that problem. We still get paid even if we go to the brig (its not much but its something). Yes we pay for medical and dental but it is taken out of our pay before we even see it. The money we do get goes to what ever we want to spend our money on (I have bills, my choice for working on my car). But most single guys have maybe a car payment and cell phone. Everything else they do as they wish.

    I stayed in because of my family on this last one. I wanted to get out however she was having our baby girl and I couldnt get a job fast enough to get medical. Now that I have re-enlisted I am picking up rank and starting to like it. You cant say all military guys struggle when they get out either. I know a ton of guys that have gotten out and are doing great. then again i know a bunch who arnt doing so well also. I guess it all depends on how you were raised.

    Re: wanna join the marine corps

    Also combat plays a HUGE factor with someones mental stability. Some might see action and not think anything of it, however others might see the same thing and freak the hell out. When we got to Iraq my first time we had a guy off himself because he saw a body. There are also the guys who get into action once then go out looking for it (ribbon chasers) every time after that. They get a rush from it and when they get out they dont know how to flip the switch.
