    Ive said this a few times but it has fallen on deaf ears apparently. You can "DEP" into the military, that is join the delayed entry pool. This means that you join, make it official, but have up to a year before you need to start training. Or, like I have also said, Join now, go to OCS over...

    Shotgun, stock or no stock?

    my good friend has the 500 with a pistol grip. Ive shot it a decent amount and like the way it handles, for home security purposes that is. However if you will be doing a lot of skeet i would strongly advise against it. It should be pretty easy to swap in between the two, no?

    Seth Stanton: 8/21/87 to 12/17/06

    It was 4 years ago when PFC Seth Stanton was killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq. Seth was only 19 years old when he was killed. Lets not forget the sacrifice Seth made for all of us and keep his family in our thoughts this holiday season. I will always feel attached to Seth even though I never...

    Ive heard of one person in my Marine unit getting a signing bonus. The reason he got it was probably because if they thought if they didn't offer it to him he would join the Army and get money thrown at him. They didn't want to let him slip through the cracks. Why does the Army pay so much to...

    Personal preference. However, there are infantry openings right now, and if they ever tell you there arnt, wait 2 months and they will reopen it. Also, with a college degree they will want you badly. Keep in mind that I do not suggest Marine infantry if you are planning a career, and I do not...

    Everyone here has good points. I think the biggest questions you have to ask yourself are if you want to go career and what job you want to do. If you want to go infantry, Marines hands down. If you want a technical job or an administrative job, pick any of the other services. Also, I really...

    To all those saying finish school first... You can do OCS over the summer, finish your last year of college, then go right to job school after. You're commission will be waiting for you when you graduate. Also, I'm sure (depending on what service) you will get some money towards the last year...

    I'm guessing instead of USVAB you meant ASVAB... I must say though, with a score of 67 you might have a lot of doors closed for you. A lot of MOS's have required scores for particular sections, most common is a GT requirement, or general technical. I find it hard to believe that the national...
