Not Army but I will be applying for a commission in the Royal Navy Reserves this September/ October providing I pass the medical. If all is well once i graduate uni I will probably then be looking to join full-time.

Had passed my medical and looking to join the Corps of Royal Engineers but received a better offer for the MoD as an apprentice electronics engineer. So opted for that instead.
Currently a fourth year apprentice now, finish come next September.

US Coastguard Reserve>US Marines
Even though im joining the Marines in a few months, cant deny the coast guard are actually more hardcore than people think

My best friend is a Marine. He's out now and will tell you what any other honest person should. Do not join the marine corps if you have a brain. Go Army if your set on being infantry. Marines have lowered their standards so much....

Never really got the point of making an entire seperate military entity, just for shock troops. And then deploying them on peace-keeping missions.
Probably one of the very few old-timers here who hasn't been a regimental leader.

Can't do that, got to uphold the family tradition, and the standards are still twice the army's. I think the new commandant will help as well as if Trump gets pres he will increase the budget. Also not infantry but Forward Observer/JTAC

Please define standards. Army does a lot more than just physical requirements compared to the Marines..

Well the basis which most people go by or are most referenced would be the PFT/CFT, shooting quals, and longer training. despite sometimes training at or with other branches (example most arty Marines go to Ft. Sill due to the low budget of the Marines) Im not saying the quality of life is better, not saying Marines are smarter or That they have better benefits or that Army Infantry isn't worth anything. Just the two branches as a whole are pretty different Marines seem to sell the Pride and Discipline aspect of the military (I.e. Blood stripes, and pinning along with other fun hazing initiations) Although the Army has better SF and also has many avenues to pursue better training and other high speed shit. with all of these benefits Ill say In a combat situation when you need to kill the enemy usually a basic Marine Infantry Company as a whole would probably preform better than a basic Army Infantry Company. They're more alike than any other branch and both do their job

Marines shouldn't be their own branch anyway. Why? perhaps because they're supposed to be.... you know... Marines?

Not really getting where your coming from, are you saying they should just be Infantry without all of the shit they have now like air assets and artillery? in WW2 they were expanded because they didn't have enough manpower to fight their own theater. They are still the smallest branch by far with 20% of the manpower compared to the army (Active and Reserve)
