biden wants to shut down the marines. Probably looking for a more permanent situationWhy do people enlist in the Army? Too scared to enlist in the Marine Corps.
As of October 1st, there are no age groups anymore, now that the ACFT is required. The APFT is no longer a thing.Hey, for men in the 62+ age group: 2 min of Pushups: 16 2 min of Situps: 26 and complete 2-mile in 20 minutes to pass the test with a minimum of 180 points. The PU is the only event that has the same minimum score for men 62+ and women in 32-36 age groups.
My mistake ... I thought the old standards were in effect until the end of the year. I stand corrected. Thank you for the correction.As of October 1st, there are no age groups anymore, now that the ACFT is required. The APFT is no longer a thing.
Now that we have the genderless test, I have to complete the 2 mile run 1 minute slower than the minimum on the 62+ male standards from the APFT, but that is still faster than the time they used to require for a 32-year-old woman. But I will probably be all worn out after doing my 10 pushups.
LOL!! When I was enlisting in the 80's, the Marines were tasked with holding Norway and the Army was tasked with holding Germany, France, and Belgium against the Warsaw Pact.Why do people enlist in the Army? Too scared to enlist in the Marine Corps.
Much better jobs. The Marines are STILL looking for a few good men.Why do people enlist in the Army? Too scared to enlist in the Marine Corps.
I'm retired Air Force and worked at a MEPRES station for a while. The Marine Corps is actually more difficult to get in to than people think, at least during those times. The easiest during quota times were the Navy, they would take anyone, then the Army. The Air Force didn't budge for any reason but if you were a person trying to enter the Marine Corps and lied get ready for a but chewing.Why do people enlist in the Army?

No equity in Israeli military. Look at patrols and battles in Gaza for evidence. They serve honorably but it's not equal.Isreal has it right, everyone is equal. What next everyone gets a GREEN BERET? Friend Beret was Green he said he earn his.
I'm legitimately curious: where do you think we're going to be having a war with China in?A Civil War General, Gen Forrest, said to "Git there furstist and with the mostist"...
One day we are gonna have a war with China.. and if all they have is this Army crowd we are gonna get a whopping.
Lolz!!! I'm shocked I tell ya!!
It will be over things like oil or trade or philosophy. China is building carriers to challenge the US on the high seas. They are claiming a large portion of the Pacific as theirs (South China Seas.)I'm legitimately curious: where do you think we're going to be having a war with China in?

Sooner or later we will have a serious argument with them.
