As a former Marine now in the Army, it was because the USMC wouldn't let me do the job I wanted to do IN the USMC. I switched to the Army, but still love the Corps.

The USMC, because everyone needs some curtains to wipe their Jimmy with on the way out the door.

As a former Marine recruiter I can tell you why. The first response from a young man of why not to join the Maines is boot camp is too long and too hard. Second most young people have no clue that the Marine Corps has pretty much all the same jobs ( just as not as many), the pay and benefits are the same, and there are education benefits. Than you have kids that are only in it for the school and money and the Army and the Air Farce bait them with all kinds of incentives.

As someone who was courted by marine recruiters on multiple occasions, I can say that the marines think they're very clever in the way they try and set their hooks in potential recruits. You don't have a single leg to stand on with that "Air Farce" shit.

I wouldnt say that. I had a former marine and he just couldnt get the technical stuff. Had to put him in mandatory supervised study. Ended up getting booted for not being able to qualify.
