Yeah. I was in the military, the Marines in fact. I will tell my two children don’t join the military, especially don’t join the Marines, and if you need to join the Air Force and work on AC units or some shit.
Everyone here suggesting joining the military means you’re going to combat is mistaken. When I was in a combat role, the number we always heard was 10% of people in the military are in combat ops jobs, and 10% of those people see actual combat. The military absolutely offers opportunities to learn a trade for folks who are in a tough spot, and you can make it work for you.
Everyone who says shits fucked now and the country is just billionaires, I’m totally on board. But if you’re some poor kid from Mississippi, being an engine mechanic in the Army might be your best shot at a decent life, and I wouldn’t begrudge anyone that.
