Marine leaders say they will make their recruiting goal this year, while the active-duty Army, Navy and Air Force all expect to fall short. The services have struggled in the tight job market to compete with higher-paying businesses for the dwindling number of young people who can meet the military’s physical, mental and moral standards.

We need Getbiggers to enter the front lines.
Getbiggers are among the fiercest people to ever exist.

It’s the smallest branch and considered the most prestigious. The Army and Navy falling short tells me poor pricks with limited options would rather work a shitty job in the states than risk getting sent off to some shithole for a pointless war.

Another Pedo Pal. I hope a nasty STD is in its future and it dies a horrible, languishing death for all the world to see.

how is the marine Corp ahead of the air force?

Air Force may have higher IQ standards than Marines which makes recruiting more selective perhaps?

It's called the "Chair Force" for a reason. It is the most "comfortable" of the military branches.
If you are in any other branch of the service and you decide to move to the Marines, you must take and pass their bootcamp. Marines on the other hand, if choose to leave the Corp and go to a different branch? They do NOT have to take that branch's bootcamp.
Air Force enlisted had better housing than Naval Officers up to around O4, at least that is what I witnessed.
I've been to the Marine Museum outside of D.C. Simply superb.

Good info, Sir Scott of Getbig.

Army lol, bunch of brainwashed losers thinking they are protecting/fighting for their country
-

This is exactly what it is. Air Force has the highest IQ standards and the Marines have the lowest. The Navy and Army have the same IQ standards in between the Air Force and Marines.
-

Thanks, Nat! I wanted to be a Marine by my eyesight didn't meet their standards. Frustrating but I understood that standards exist for good reasons.

It’s just the signing bonuses are now not outmatched. Fast food restaurants and other employers now do signing bonuses, insurance, and will help pay for your school.
-
Patriotic brave young people don't want to serve under Democrats. They have woke classes now in the military teaching wokeness, the multiple sexes, inclusion, diversity and other nonsense. They even have sign on bonuses up to 50K.
I think the Marines don't have trouble because young people think Democrats haven't ruined that branch yet.
That study that the Democrats paid for that says the economy is so good no one wants to join is a crock of bull shit. Look at the reactions Trump got by the military and compare it to Biden. When they air the Army/Navy game they have to play with the sound so you can't hear the loud cheers for Trump and the silence for Biden. Yes, I've been to the games.

The perception is that Marines are badass tough MFers whereas the Air Force are pretty boys ala Tom Cruise. But, yeah, it’s understandable why the AF would have higher IQ standards.

I suffered some petty theft here and a guy told me to hang up a bunch of Marine Corps stuff because my accent, lol. Yeah... it'll work great up until I'm having to explain how it's not really stolen valor to some gung ho dude who justifiably takes exception.
I wouldn't like to tangle with a Marine. I considered Annapolis when I was young. I like to think I would have made a good one but who knows.

Maverick is NAVY I have you know.

Dumb meatheads join the marines, navy or Air Force is best if you want a career afterwards

I was in the Marine Corps back in the Reagan Bush/Bush era late 80s early 90s. Marine corps training was not only the longest in duration of weeks. It also had the most required knowledge based course requirements of any other branch. I suppose now things are different and Marines need to learn about co habitating with transgender phaggots and whatnot

Silly kids! Show GT their Tricare card and pretty much walk out of GT with a degree.

Bump.
Minimum enlistment standards since World War II have generally been higher than the 10th percentile, and closer to what they are today for the different services: the 16th percentile on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (Army about IQ 85), 21st percentile (Marine Corps and Air Force, IQ 88) and 27th percentile (Navy, IQ 91). It should be noted that these are the enlistment standards for high school graduates. Nongraduates must score between the 27th to the 65th percentiles on the AFQT, depending on the service in question.
A more recent posting at Reference.com states: There is no minimum IQ score to join the U.S. Army, but applicants have to score at least 31 on the Armed Forces Qualification Test.
The official US Marine Corps site at ssmc.net states: Applicants must qualify for enlistment on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) test. However, no minimum score on this test battery is indicated in that criterion.

I wouldn’t fight for the US. You have to be young and dumb to volunteer your life for this Country.

Trial balloons being floated about bringing back the draft:

. As the prospect of globally destabilizing war returns to the fore, is the all-volunteer force still up to the task of defending U.S. national security?

People who feel like they have no other options.

Could you imagine a draft of today's youth for the military? A bunch of pansy liberals who are soft and have zero discipline with a loud mouth saying they have rights. No way could they be molded into an effective fighting force. In there first engagement fighting hardened enemies they will be running talking about how they were wronged.

Let the Rainbow Army proceed.

Chesty Puller would be proud!!

Col. Macgregor insinuates that the only reason the Marines are meeting their recruiting goal is that wetbacks are naturally amphibious. @ 20 minutes 30 seconds.

It would mainly be white trash, blacks and Hispanics.

No he would NOT! Marine recruitment numbers may be up they are putting through Pussies now.
Recruits allowed to have Cell phones in Bootcamp....Stress cards, etc. Disgraceful!
