It's a challenge, but if you think youâ€™ll be up to it, then best of luck. The best way to prepare yourself will be to focus on your studies (Marines are not idiots, they are expected to continually seek to improve themselves both physically & mentally), and start taking your physical fitness seriously. I can direct you to some websites that will help in your pre-training. It will not fully prepare you for boot camp or Marine Corps life, but it will give you a good foundation.

Ignore the naysayers. You have time to make a final decision.
You have family in the Corps, so talk to them,as well as a female recruiter. It's a slightly different experience for men & women inthe Corps, so a female Marine would be able to give you more specific answers than me.

Best of luck.

Being a Women Marine isn't quite the same as being a grunt. The Corps isn't nearly as willing to use their women in combat conditions. The powers to be know how hard it is on morale when a women gets wounded or killed, the guys have a real hard time with it, so they discourage it.

Those recruiters probably love you because you are cute as a bug in a rug, and at 15, you should be. But, that doesn't make you Rambo, so before you take the plunge, talk to a female recruiter and get the straight scoop on what your duties would be as a WM. After that, if you're still as determined to go in, then let that be your dream. Remember, you need to first finish high school, so keep that foremost in your mind. God Bless! Semper Fidelis!

The Corp can always use an extra BAM or two. Go for it.

First off, improve your spelling and English.
You have to have a fair degree of intelligence now days to get in.
The word you need is WANT. Won't means the opposite.

If that's what you want to do in 3 years when you're 18 then do it. Do what's in your heart. If you have 2 brothers in the marines then you are very clear on what's involved, so you're going in with a good idea of what's ahead.

My son is a Marine. He loves it.

I BET you will make a great marine.

why would you care what we think? we dont know you. But seriously, if you believe it is a good idea and you have seriously thought about what your life will be like then go ahead, we always need people to protect our country. you have some time to think about it further, talk more to the recruiters, maybe get one of your brothers to do a short drill for you to get a feel of what the marine life will be like. best of luck to you :)

No matter what you do in life be the best!! In my opinion the Marines are the best branch of the military. If you want to be the best in the Military go Marines if you want to be the best in law go to harvard! Anyway be the best.

Well like you said you though about it heard and good.Try and talk it out with someone of your family if your not for sure gust yet.

This sounds like a plan to me. I had a friend in the Army who joined Airborne because her brothers were chicken and she wanted to keep family tradition alive. She was on the first plane going to the war in Grenada and parachuted out with all the guys. She later said that she really felt women should not be in the military - but so what - she loved it and made it her career.

IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU THOUGHT IT OUT. IT IS A REAL HONOR TO SERVE YOUR COUNTRY. I WISH YOU THE BEST. YOU GO G.I. JANE BUT, PLEASE , FINISH SCHOOL FIRST.

It's up to you. If you want to join the Marines then join when you're 18. Maybe you should check the other branches out too.

linlyons

i think you should learn to spell want.
and btw, wanna (nor wonna) is not a word.

on the other hand, most of your spelling is correct, so you can do it.
i note you omit apostrophes, but that's probably choice, just as i omit capitals usually.

as for the marines being a "life goal", it's not what i would choose, but i'm not you.
i do, however, think you've been sold a bill of goods ("one of the few" "the most respected uniform on this earth").
of course recruiters like you. they have a quota to meet. just like any salesman. and they're hoping that you'll help them.

Really, Really consider this question. Marine training is thhe toughest thing you'll ever go through so if u do enlist, do so when the war's over and you know you'll come home safe.

More mindless, illiterates for cannon fodder... Can't wait to see her face when she realises it's NOT like the movies. Poor fool doesn't even realise that she (and her kind) are exactly the kind of pleabs Bush loves to throw in the meat-grinder.
Young, dumb and full'o'come with no idea what she's in for...

DAMN! I regret this answer! Sorry to offend young lady! Your heart is in the right place...
