Hello Friends,

First off, I just turned 20 about a month ago. I've been out of school since I graduated high school when I was 18 and I currently work a minimum wage job. I've been trying to save money to go to a community college in the spring and get an associates degree. My cousin is going to basic in march and he's trying to get me to join so we can be part of the buddy program. I'm 6'2 and I weigh 230 lbs. Should I join? And what are the pros and cons?

Thanks In Advance,
Donald Martin
 
Welcome pal,it'll make a man of you,you'll make some great friends for life,you'll see things most people could'nt imagine see'ing,you'll probally achieve hero status amongst your peers,you'll be honoured and proud to serve your country,there are many positive reason's for joining up,having said that,it's a dangerous career that you might not come back from,this fact alone tends to sort the men from the boy's,we all know someone who has been affected either directly or indirectly,as SF say's why not nip in your local army career's office,them boy's are better qualified to advise you than most on here,oh and good luck young un;)
 
my laddy who is 21 and come out of his time last year as a gas engineer is chucking it all in and joining the marines, he is giving up a trade and a job for life to go and be shot at, you have got to be 100 per cent sure before you decide cos if not your stuck there for a min 4 years.
 
Do out best life ever my biggest regret of my life leaving the army so wish I never but now but that's life
 
42 Commando Reg.? Though I think Donald is looking more for the "Semper Fi" than "Per Mare, Per Terram".

What program where you looking to do at community college?

In 1982, following the Argentine invasion of the Falkland Islands, the Commando deployed on Operation Corporate. On 21 May the Commando were Brigade reserve at San Carlos under Lt. Col. Nick Vaux RM. The unit was deployed to seize Mount Kent in a night move by helicopter. By 4 June the unit had moved forward, mostly under cover of darkness, to positions west of high ground overlooking Port Stanley and the last Argentine stronghold. After days of probing reconnaissance, a Brigade assault took place on the night of 11/12 June in which the Commando's task was to secure Mount Harriet on the Brigade right flank.

By moonlight and in freezing temperatures, 42 Commando moved undetected through enemy minefields in a 9km right-flanking movement to surprise the enemy in their rear. Consecutive assaults by "K" and "L" Companies followed, up steep slopes onto company positions. Against strong resistance and continuous artillery bombardment, the Marines prevailed. By first light more than 30 enemy had been killed and over 300 prisoners taken as 42 Commando consolidated on Mount Harriet. 42 Commando suffered 2 fatalities themselves – one on Mount Harriet and one on Wall Mountain.

For the bravery shown in the attack on Mount Harriet, 42 Commando was awarded 1 DSO, 1 Military Cross, 4 Military Medals and 8 men were Mentioned in Dispatches.[6]
