The military isn't even taking people with a GED anymore. They REQUIRE a high school diploma. I have a buddy that fired a pistol into the air about 7 years ago on New Years up in Plano and the police caught him and charged him with Deadly Conduct ...a felony. He served 2 years. He's had an incredibly tough time finding pretty much ANYTHING in the last 5 years.

Thanks. I don't mind peeps disagreeing, and I don't want the shitbags in my military anymore than anyone else. I'm just trying to draw a conclusion from a few assumptions.
1. It takes balls to be in an organization whose primary goal is to kill the enemy.
2. Getting into fights, pulling stupid stunts and raising general mayhem is a better indicator of a solid set than some misguided notion of the creme de la creme and all their efforts to conform, fit in and not rock the boat.

Is there different degrees of deadly conduct? I got a buddy who got deadly conduct for driving around popping kids with an airsoft gun, but it was only a misdemeanor.

Yes, if a firearm is involved it is enhanced.

Maybe a few guys who raised a little hell and payed for it is just what we need in this fledgling first class organization. WTF is a 'second class' organization anyways? Are you suggesting the guys in the military before a person such as yourself served were involved in an inferior organization? I'm wondering if that implication would be as well received with the last couple generations of vets...

HAHA!! I have no problem with guys that raise hell. I am with you on that...they make good Marines. I dont make the regulations...however as a recruiter, I have to follow them. What I mean by 2nd class organization is when I call someones' house(in the affluent area I cover) to talk to their son about the military the parents sometimes laugh "Marines..yeah right he has plans". I have told more than one parent not to worry someone else's son will gladly lay down their life for your freedom to laugh and be disrespectful.

As far as being received by the past generation of VETs. I am not disrespecting them, just stating the current qualifications..they are different!! The days of joining the military to avoid jail are long gone.

and btw I have lost friends on the battlefield too..I spent all of my combat tours in Falluja from 04-07 so I believe I have paid some dues as well.

Your friend's a fucking idiot and deserves every bit of that punishment.

You are right..you do not have to graduate. You can still have a GED and 15 credits. More often than not, from my experience if you get your GED, you likely wont have the dedication to get the 15 credits.....no disrespect to anyone who has a GED here haha...I just havent met anyone who has dome this in the 2+ years I have been recruiting.

I can't say I find fault in the parents for hoping their childrens paths don't involve the military. I'm not a parent but I can imagine wanting the best for your children doesn't involve getting shot at. Plenty of fault to be found for scoffing at the idea of serving though as if they were above it. It's tough knowing the gift you're giving to a free population will be squandered on a fair amount of the populace who neither care nor intend to acknowledge the cost as if they were entitled.
