Marine Corps.

Then you get a gun and all the crayons you can eat.

Marine here. You can't get tendies in boot camp. However Pendleton has a McDonald's and a Jack in the Box on base. Lejune has a Burger King. You can get tendies at the Bowling alley at MCAS Yuma too. Once deployed the chow hall may have chicken nuggets but not tendies. You'll have to ruff it a little. If you get the hotdogs MRE... Don't eat the hotdogs.

You'll have to bring it up to your drill sergeant. I was Air Force, "tendies" were considered low class.

Yeah I had it rough in the Air Force a few times. Like one time, deployed, they had us stay in 3 star hotel and we had to double up in rooms! And the guy I was shacked up with wasn't even gay, and the mini bar fridge broke.

Where's the crayon eating thing come from? 😂

Everyone knows the Marines eat crayons. This is a fact. Twitter doesn't even dispute it.

And when they do finally dispute it, you’ll really know it’s true

Was Okinawa his girlfriend, or the island?

Yeah, I've been wondering that too. Lots of things to learn from TD.

I showed my son videos of Receiving Week, and he asks why the DIs mistreat the boys so badly? He’s seven, mind you and he looked appalled. I says ”Son Marines need to go through this type of training because they cannot read or write this is the only way they can live now.” lol he and I laughed it off but I later explained that these DI’s need to break these young men and women down in order to build them up into the most deadly US Marine that they can be they demand the best. My son had a glean in his eye and said I “I love our military.” God bless you guys.

Marine Corps is the best gun club, but it always depends on your MOS/contract you choose. A cook in the USMC usually won’t touch a weapon as part of their job while security forces in the Chair Force will be handling weapons daily

Ever consider joining the military or applying for jobs/universities out of state?

ArcFlareEspergeist [S] 10 points ago +12 / -2

Pretty much missed the boat on the military. I've had really shitty luck with getting laid off from previous jobs and never really found my real grove. Haven't been able to make ends meet well enough to keep up with rent and other living expenses. Out of state is the best bet but it would be a hell of a gamble if I fuck up.

Gotta man up, pede.

True. I've always been a 'look before you leap' sort of fellow but it's really bitten me in ass and that's been one of the most bitter redpills I've had to swallow.

If I ever get the chance to start a family no way in hell I make the same mistakes with the helicopter/bulldozer shit.

Find a trade school. Electricians and plumbers make great money and anyone can do it if they’re willing to put in the work. YOU GOT THIS!

ArcFlareEspergeist [S] 3 points ago +4 / -1

Electrician has been sounding good, though I've actually been thinking about metalworking. Would be a great way to shoot two birds with one bullet. Only issue is whether or not the demand is there to justify it.

Have you tried all the different branches? Some recruiters will offer waivers for psoriasis depending on how much it affects you

I'm pretty good with numbers and decent with computers. Know a bit about working with cars but don't have my own tools. Also done some warehouse work and your typical college years retail hell. These past few years though I've really been honing my investigation skills. Perhaps a career as a private investigator or a paralegal might work?
