92camaro... i wanted to join when i was 17/18 just outta high school, never did because i didn't think i could do the physical part. almost a decade later i still wanted to so i joined. I was technically overweight when i first signed, but that changed fast lol. And as for Army vs AF vs marines/navy etc., think about that alot, consider duty stations(not ever guaranteed), length of deployments, quality of food at dining facilities(AF is best) lol, and also, unfortunately "Gunner" is not a specific job(MOS). Im an 88M, motor transport operator, aka truck driver. Yet since January, ive been up in the turret on a .50 cal M2. I love it, it is fun and exciting, but keep in mind also, action is no where near like in the movies/games. Yes i have fired my weapon in combat but not often considering the over 250 missions we ran. And lastly, Humvees are a thing of the past, we got bigger and better. an 1151 Humvee(newest fully armored version) stands no chance against IEDs around here. You WILL get deployed no matter which branch you join, and it isnt easy. Being active duty military is a whole different lifestyle all together.

Thank you. I think Marines is the way to go. I feel like i need to be there kinda odd huh? Every time i watch a army movie or show i wish i was there fighting "Not the main dude" But yea i feel like somthing is left out of my life and this is it. Thank you for helping me out and Thanks for fighting to keep us safe!
