if by messed up, you mean awesome.
Seriously though, sirc, go talk to a recruiter, and like I've said before, if you're getting anything less then guaranteed e-2, you're getting screwed. You might even be able to snaggle e-3, depending on how good your recruiter is.

Okay, nevermind. SKP said it all. Of course, he was at 29 Stumps which must have sucked hard. But most everything else I agree with.
But really, you should go Army. I don't really think you'd like being a Corpsman, & you definitely are not hard enough to go 8404.
& I don't want you to do it, honestly. It would honestly sully almost every good memory I have of it all."Judo is a study of techniques with which you may kill if you wish to kill, injure if you wish to injure, subdue if you wish to subdue, and, when attacked, defend yourself" - Jigoro Kano (1889)

heheheheh, that's totally true. He'd probably love all the post-libo bore punch action too, huh? Man, if I never see a steel cotton swab again, it'll be too soon... Originally Posted by devil

The only thing worse than getting your bore punched is GIVING the bore punch. Have no doubts about that. Originally Posted by devil

Damn straight. Our 1st Sgt. always made sure the docs got a turn on all the gear. Originally Posted by 3moose1

I'm not sure how much things have changed in the two years since I've gotten out, but Naval Reservists of all persuasions have a harder time getting into programs like FMF, not to mention making rank.
HM's don't advance particularly fast either, and after a few years if you haven't put a crow on, you might find yourself coming up against something called Perform to Serve where they basically show your ass the door after a certain predetermined number of years if you haven't made rank.
Still, play your cards right, keep your nose clean, and you might get lucky enough to get attached to a destroyer where you'll spend your days lancing boils, skating off in a BDS station, handing out no-shave chits to lazy fucks, giving yourself IVs after coming in from liberty seven shades of fucked up and berating people for not washing their hands after taking a ****.
Plus, you'll get to spend a few months just outside of Chicago freezing your ass off and cursing the day you walked into the recruiter's office and said "That's a nice track suit. How can I get one of those?"
