Holy crap! The ignorance that is on this page is too much for any one to handle. I get real tired of the whole Marines are not 100% there crap by the way, hey if you're in any branch I don't care that we rag on each other, cause it's what we do. I heard it all M.A.R.I.N.E Muscles Are Required Intelligence Not Expected. Yeah it's funny, but I'm tired that people just think that the whole military is composed of people who could not do anything else.
I only had a 3.8 G.P.A. sure I could have done a whole lot better, but I was still a gamer, and well yes I did let it get in my way of studies. Still, there is no way a person can get such a low G.P.A. "You're ignorant, that's just ignorant".
Now it's true, man do we have some dumb people, and they normally end up being grunts. What type of job you think you're going to have? If anything the Army will accept the lowest scores on the ASVAB followed by the Marine Corps, but guess what you'll be doing?
If for some strange reason you do well on the exam, your stupidity will follow you if you don't shape up now and probably will end up with all the other idiots in the Brig.
I just hate the fact that everyone believes we are a little crazy...well perhaps we are, but it does not mean we're stupid. My SSgt 26 has been working full time and got his Masters, now that I find is a great accomplishment. It's not easy to find time for off duty education at time. Unfortunately I was a barracks rat at the beginning so I was only able to get my Associate in those 4 years; I started attending classes 2 years after I joined. Darn me for being lazy! I still did it though. Then I come home and find friends, who graduated at the same time, have not done anything but gone to school and still don't have an Associate cause they do not want to apply themselves.
You have to do a whole lot better than that, or you won't be the "that guy" you'll be the PVT who will be ordered to take off his mask to see if it's all clear.
Still as some have said you need at least a high school diploma...or yes an equivalent before even thinking of joining. The way it's looking, and how you make fun of yourself for not applying yourself...well maybe you should keep playing in traffic. Perhaps you'll get lucky.
