You are a girl and 13 should you join the marines when you grow up?

Answer 1

That depends on several things. First you must be in tremendous physical shape. If you are not, you will go through hell during boot camp and may even wash out. Second, you must be absolutely committed to the Marine Corps, or again, boot camp could overwhelm you. If you are not determined to make through boot camp, and you have any doubts about joining the marines, boot camp will be extremely hard and you won't have anything mental strength to continue. You must absolutely want to become a marine more than anything else in the world. Thirdly, you need to have some intelligence. You can't be a marine without some brain power. Yes, in boot camp, its all "do as your told", but after that, there are marine schools in everything from electronics, finance, human resources, ordinance, computers etc. The marine corps is no place for dummies. Fourthly, you must have a reason to go. Why are you joining the marines? Why not the navy, or the air force. If you can't come up with a good reason to join the marines, you don't belong. Fifthly, you should have a support group back home that wants to see you succeed there. Your parents are the best and you will find that joining the marines is much easier if they support you. Marines is no place to go to "run away from something". and last, find all you can about the marines before you sign up. talk to recruiters, talk to ex marines in your family or neighborhood. go on line and read everything you can. be knowledgeable and you will be better able to answer your own question.
