anyone thinking about signing up to the military should talk to some vets, see how they are treated on the other side with lifelong injuries both mental and physical or both.
Pretty well, speaking from direct experience. VA has taken care of me medically. Got my degree paid for. Got a zero down home loan. Gave me connections that have supercharged my civilian career.
Virtually everyone I served with has the same experience. The Marines were nothing but good for my life. Just sucked while I was in lol.
I know there are vets out there with the opposite experience. But the ones I personally know with that experience were shitheads before the Marines and shitheads when they got out/got kicked out.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
