Re: Female and enlisting in the service?

Also, I'll be going to Parris island god willing. I still have to wait a few months and go through the waivers process as well as a psych evaluation.

I trust you'll study up for the American grammar, spelling and punctuation tests as well? Here's a hint: Words like "God" are capitalized, especially if you are professing to be a Christian.

At this rate I don't think you'd even make it into the typing pool.

Well first, you better figure out your gender. And do not get it wrong, God knows all.

Secondly, being we are not your parents but True Christians™, we have nothing at stake here other than our reputation of pure honesty. Your family and those other people, the 'fuzzy bunny Christians' live lives of lies and half truths. These bald faced fabrications will one day be listed on a form that will be impossible to change. As you know, lying sends you to Hell.
We tell the truth, hard and simple. Many cannot handle the truth. But that is too bad. Life is full of unpleasantries and misery and we will not hide you from it. I know no matter what we say will not convince you otherwise but I ask that once release from your military obligation that you return her and give testimony about your experiences, how those in your life lied right to you're face yet the True Christians™ of Landover were straight shooters with you.

Pastor, being this person is not sure if he/she is a man, I wonder about the gene pool.

Re: Female and enlisting in the service?

Oh dear. I'm sorry if I'm stepping out of bounds here, but I know some Marines/Airmen who would be very offended by y'alls estimations of them. One has to do a LOT more than 'just be able to spell your name' to become a Marine. Men and women candidates get 13 weeks of physical training. The ONLY difference is that men train separately from women, women get by with flexed armhangs instead of pull-ups, and women get 2 minutes more to run 3 miles for their initial strength test.

Ask yourself this question. If I'm a male marine and I'm expected to have X strength and Y runtime, how can a person who is expected to be weaker and slower than me be anything but a liability in my squad? You're only as strong as your weakest link. So if women were really put in the field with men then the men's standards would be lowered to match the females'. But it would be detrimental to lower the armed forces standards to allow women to keep up. Trust me, you aren't going to be sent out to fight anyone. The only way you're going to see action is if it comes to you and I have never heard of an U.S. base being overrun. And Afghanis can smell your period blood. They'd smell you coming and your whole squad would be ambushed if you went out into the mountains. Like I said, you'd just be a liability.

Will you be wearing one of these?

anyone going into the service (yes, this includes women Marine candidates) had to take the ASVAB.

Yeah, you take the ASVAB, but as long as you get your name correct you're good. That's is all I'm saying. It doesn't take a genius to be told what to do for 13 weeks. It doesn't take a genius to run, do pushups, sit ups or kill God's enemies. That's all I mean. You think they really care if a woman has electronic, mechanical, writting, reading and mathetics skills? Just focus on the administration parts and you might be one of the lucky ladies to make secretary. You should probably bring a home baked pie to MEPS so that the staff can get an idea of your strengths. Don't worry about coffee, they'll have some there for you to make.

I don't think I'm a man. I'm getting the general impression that there are some people very misinformed about women's roles in the military. Whatever God wants our roles to be at home, that is NOT what the government has dictated as the woman's role as a Marine/soldier/member of the air force.

What would you know? You're just a girl.

I'm getting the impression that while this is something my friends, church, and family generally support (...with the exception of my Marine friend, darn him),

So your uninformed family, church and friends support you out of sheer ignorance, but when ACTUAL MARINE veterans think it's a bad idea (Mr. Wiseman and your marine friend) you ignore them? See, you lack basic reasoning skills. Women are so emotional, but definitely lacking in brain power.

Yet I pray to god...same christian god...and get a different answer. Why is that?

First, unless you pray to the God of the KJV 1611 Bible, The True God, you are praying to thin air.
Second, The True God doesn't answer the prayers of false christians, so I caught you in a lie right there.
Third, you know very well no one answered you. Bearing false witness is a sin.

Re: Female and enlisting in the service?

God HATES women in the military!!!

Webmaster's note: Women do NOT belong in the military. The alarming number of rapes of women soldiers by their own male piers is reason enough to warn women against enrolling for the military. If your own team is going to attack you, what do you think the enemy will do to you? In addition. Jessica Lynch was brutally raped and sodomized in Iraq by the Iraqis. Will your daughter be next, sexually attacked by dozens of males? The fact that hundreds of U.S. women soldiers have been raped by their own male piers is proof enough of what I am saying. Ladies, go be school teachers or work in a bakery, let the men go to war.

Re: Female and enlisting in the service?

[...]I found out my tattoos were waiverable (there's a bible verse and a 'semper fi' that might be visible in PT gear), [...]

Lev:19:28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.

[loveandviolets]

Re: Female and enlisting in the service?

I have since repented of my tattoos, Brother Bathfire...while the prideful, patriotic part of me wanted to honor our country's fallen marines with that 'semper fi' arm piece...I guess when it boils down to it, a sin against Scripture is a sin even if my then misguidedheart thought the intentions were pure.

Do any of y'all have wives or other female relatives with experience as secretaries in the Corps? Is this more or less difficult an aim then some sort of medic position in the chair force? (I mean, ah, Air Force)

Re: Female and enlisting in the service?

I looked through my friends USMC bootcamp "year book" and her SDI was pretty. Called her a few choice words, my friend did. She told me that the DI's only allow like. 30 second showers and gave them 60 seconds to get dressed and "Be on line" for hygeine insepction. But she said that once she got to her MOS school she met some other female Marines there that were really butchy, but her school was on an Army base, and the Soilders were just as bad if not worse about being butchy than the WM's were.

They only allow maybe 5% of "chair force" medical personel to be men so they meet their quota. Those guys are probably homosexuals. Well, what I actually mean is that the actual doctors (surgeons, specialist, etc.) are men (officers), but all the assistant position are 95% female. Unless you're unattractive then you'll probably end up in a services squadron working at the morgue, the chow hall or passing out towels in the gym.

I just see no point in going through all that training if all you're going to do is make coffee, file forms and answer a phone. And if you deploy somewhere lilke Afghanistan you'll be a bed warmer for the real marines. Might as well just join the Air Force. You might talk big marine talk now, but you'll be whinning and complaining afterwards and wishing you made a different decision. Maybe the Air Force is too tough for you. Ever think about the Coast Guard or the U.S. Post Office?

[loveandviolets]

Re: Female and enlisting in the service?

Maybe y'all are right. I don't qualify to enlist for another six months or so. Satan possessed me to take antidepressants for a depressive episode I had back in April, rather than just PRAYING it out like I should have done...if I'd relied on the Bible rather than those overpriced poisons like Wellbutrin I could be shipping out now. I'll wait around, keep hoping for some direction from God as to what branch to go into.

And Brother Brooks, one of us seems a little confused! I think I mentioned before that marine is a proper noun deserving of capitalization. It rubs my patriotic, pro-Corps soul the wrong way to see the word disrespected. And I'm interested in the military lifestyle not the mail service. Everyone knows the 'coast guard' isn't really part of the armed forces.

[Meek and Humble]

Re: Female and enlisting in the service?

Why should we capitalize an institution so pathetic it allows women to enlist? The Marines we garner respect when they are worthy of it.

[Marshall]

Re: Female and enlisting in the service?

Holy Jesus. Am I reading that correctly? What sort of degenerate scumbag doesn't capitalize Jesus Christs favorite tool for keeping Hell full? The United States Marine Corps should always be capitalized! This female has the right idea and were she a man I'd highly recommend she enlist in the Corps since she already has the gumption and the respect. It is the only branch that is outstanding.
Everyone needs to grab a handful of history and read up on why Christian America is FREE and why it's the home of the brave! The USMC has fought and killed in every real campaign since the British refused to surrender and we had to stomp a boiled sheephead smelling mudhole in their tea sip asses over 200` years ago.
10 November, 1775 is the day America formed the branch that would singlehandedly win every war they fought in(except the ones the hippies and Democrats lost). No fighting force on Earth is as brave and handy for killing as they are. That's why the rest of the branches are called "soldiers" but Marines are called "Marines".
Disrespecting the Marine Corps is the same thing as setting fire to the Bible wrapped in Old Glory then peeing it out while tripping on drugs in California at a Bob Dylan concert!

In order of importance:
USMC
Navy
Army
Air Force
The Coast Guard serves to keep drugs out and rescue stranded sailors in the ocean.

Now Heathen Basher, I'm going to guess you meant to say Air Force when you were talking about not capitalizing a branch. They should be capitalized, technically, but I'm sure Jesus understands the misunderstanding. This young lady has gotten us all a bit riled up I guess. Maybe I need to take a break, go hunting or something to clear my mind. I know I need to clean off my keyboard because I puked on it a little.

Re: Female and enlisting in the service?

i don't understand why you want to serve. we are genetically weaker and we'd just slow everyone down. but i guess to each its own. hi all ill be putting up an intro in a few days.

[Marshall]

Re: Female and enlisting in the service?

Scientific evidence only works when it denies Christ, otherwise Liberals don't want to hear about it.

Women are weaker and smaller and less able. It's just the way it is. Why females get their tampoons all swelled up over it is beyond me.
It would be like being mad at someone for saying water is wet.
