The United States Navy, Best Military Service in History!!

OCS grad rogering up on this one. But, this is just true for OCS. Once a Marine 2LT is done that, there's a major fork in the road. The Marine needs to go through The Basic School. Squids don't do that. Then, there's a bunch of other additional training that may be pertinent to your career path, like jump school, SERE, etc. It is a wholly different pipeline than what naval officers go through.

And if you were a FMF corpsman, you were more of a Marine than a sailor. Give yourself some credit.

No kidding, Corpsman are great. They're as much of a riot as Marines are in our off time and during work and deployment they do a damn good job.

Army Navy Game coming up again!!!!

 

A couple of days ago in my art class the teacher brought in a Navy recruiter to talk to us. He was pretty cool... while he didnt convince me to join the Navy, he did convince me that if I were to join the armed services, the Navy would be the branch.

Whats a Navy recuiter doing in an art class?

 

There's always a ton of military recruiters at my school. Army, Navy, every branch... And my teacher loves the Navy. She has several Navy posters on her wall. So she asked him to come in and talk to the class about the Navy.

 

Do they get permission from parents to do this?

 

:shrug: I dont know. I dont see why they should... its not like they're conscripting kids, just talking to them about it. Many kids are interested in joining the military already, and they can get help and info from the recruiters.

 

Do they have any other recruiters coming in? From anything not related to the armed forces?

 

like what?

 

Yes. My high school had college recruiters, Peace Corps recruiters, etcetera. The military came more often, but we saw a lot of "other" recruiters.

Janissary Corps was the best.

 

A wee bit to late for the Janissaries me thinks.

 

Your teacher is a smart lass!!!!

 

What the hell, what age are the students they come to see?
do they talk honestly about the risks involved?

the only time i have ever seen a defence force recuiter is at the careers expo and they were just one among many. they do tend to put the occasional display around uni but as far as actually trying to recurit out of highschools they dont do that.

of course it could be true that our millatry doesnt actually want more cannon fodder, they seem to need more of the high skilled jobs because most people can get more in the private sector or even in other goverment departments like the emergency services and the other departments

 

He said in history so ...:shrug:

 

They also ass-fucked their recruits too. So, if you are into pederasty, then I guess it's for you. Nobody did it like the Spartans though.

Yeah, string. I don't believe that. Do you have proof....pictures perhaps?:shy:

 

Which part? The Janissaries were originally slave boys, raised in captivity and subjected to harsh, inhumane treatment in order to bind them together and to their masters. They were not free citizens (at first), and because they held no fiefal loyalty to local tribal leaders (who usually supplied troops for combat), they could settle local disputes without prejudice. They were also, at the beginning, denied wives. Outside of the occasional pillage, how else do you think they got off? Also, the modern martialistic marching band comes from the Janissaries. You don't get more gay than that.

And, do I need to even substantiate the claims that Spartans were ass rapers? It was actually institutionalized as part of their training. Once they reached puberty, they were assigned to the Agoge, and were duly plucked by their superiors.
