So my girlfriend won't let me join the Marines, saying "she doesn't want the military as any part of her life"
It's been my life long dream to join the Marines.
What should I do?
-
Join.

Edited by Baalwulf06: 1/5/2015 1:52:23 PMGo. I got out as a corporal in April and with i would've stayed in. But uh, trust me. ..if you go, she won't be in the picture anymore. It may not happen immediately...but if you're not cleaning your shop, someone else will. Ps. Forgot to mention that no one owns another. Do what you want [spoiler]Jody gonna get her and that's ok cause she won't be the last[/spoiler]

Don't mean to be out of order but who comes on the destiny forum to ask for advice about such a life changing decision? Talk to your nearest and dearest my friend.

Well, there are plenty of fish in the sea Marine. However, if you think you want to marry this girl, compromise is the first lesson in every marriage. You might have to let some of your dreams go. I was in the same situation you are. I chose a career in law enforcement instead and now I am happily married with a growing family.

1 ReplyIf u want don't want to die early, don't join. Many better things u can do
-
Not gonna tell u either way but if your girl doesn't support your dreams then she's Def not the one man. Coming from a happily married man and father
-
Join. A girlfriend that puts that stipulation on you is a B*****. Are willing to give up a good future, a retirement should you stay, a chance to see the world, hell in uniform you will be a magnet for good looking women. Shes not worth it
-
Dude, when you enlist, unless she's something really really REALLY serious, you might as well break ties with her. Sorry to say. You don't need distractions and it might crawl under your skin at the wrong time. Focus. If you want her then go to college, skip the marines. If i were you and i had a "life long dream" to do anything then no one is standing in my way. Good luck. And btw, a video game forum is hardly the place to seek such advice. I'm sure you're taking everything with a grain of salt

Edited by Astriator: 1/5/2015 1:43:42 PMWatch Jarhead [i](the first one)[/i]. If you still want to join, go ahead.

I heard the respawn wait times are horrible
-
Why do you want to be government property?
-
What's more important my gf stopped me from joining and then 3 years later we broke up and I was already invested in the company I'm working at so yea do you
-
Wrong forum bruh... And don't listen to these dudes. Talk to your family.
-
Listen to her or break it off. At the end of the day some people have deep convictions about not being tied to the military in any way. The worst thing you can do for both of you would be to enlist and expect to stay together.

1 ReplySemper fidelis. That is all.

It is a life long dream ... you better join or you will forever regret it. Heck, I grew up never wanting to join and now I regret not joining before or during college. I don't want to enlist and don't think I could get in as an officer, so my ship has sailed. But I encourage you to follow you dreams and never let any person stop you from doing that ... even if it means you might lose them for it. Most likely you will find out that person wasn't right for what you are looking for in life.

2 RepliesThere by far many, many other much faster ways to kill ones self.

You should move this to offtopic.

Consider school. It super hard on the family and in the air force at least you still have to take college classes to rank up
-
Joining the military is a life choice and it's your life so you don't need the approval of others to decide and if you do then don't join because the military don't need someone who can't think or decide for themselves.
-
Lol. Active duty marine here, don't do it. At least don't do infantry. Unless you absolutely love a good ole green weenie. With no lube, then by all means go ahead.
-
The amount of misogynistic comments in this thread is... completely expected.
-
Go to school kid. Trust me. You don't wanna be a puppet in country if it resulted to that.
-
That was my dream as well seeing as my father and grandfather were both marines however it bothered my wife and the thought of leaving my kids for months just made it were I couldn't join however idk how long you've been with your gf but if you dont plan on marrying her dont listen to her live your dream let her live hers.

Get an education. Whether that's through the military or college or junior college, better your life as best as you can.
