Physically, no problem. But the yelling and shit...I'd boot-fuck the drill seargant and wind up in jail by the end of the first day.

I would love the phyisical challange of boot camp but I don't take orders well.

Yes, I don't mean to be disrespectful, but very intelligent people do not normally do well under those circumstances, they always question authority. I don't know how the fuck I got in. I knew it was a mistake right away. I can be so smart, yet so stupid. More like too lazy to educate myself in certain matters.

My brother and father must be morons then. Personally, I am thankful for the "stupidity" of so many outstanding young men in this country.

Stupidity is all relative... Suppose an infantryman is not book smart, he will atleast be smart in the sense of survival, navigation, weaponry, discipline and everything else a soldier has to know. Now, if he is book smart, his soldier training makes him a much smarter person in a wider spectrum of areas. Most people who enter the military have a GED or college credit or a degree, and they are tested for drug use, and cannot be a convicted felon. They are also subjected through rigorous training and are therefore more fit than the average citizen. Using this logic, the US soldier is smarter, more disciplined, virtuous, and in better shape than the average citizen.
Also, don't forget that they get college paid for, have better benefits than most jobs, and are serving this great Country with their lives, which is the ultimate sacrifice and love that someone can give his or her Country.

My "stupidity" was supposed to be read sarcastically.......

Yes, I agree. Probably so. Just those with very high i.q's do not fit in, for the same reason the police department will often not hire them. They always question everything.

They say bootcamp is 90% mental -- that involves coping with people screaming at you and calling you names all the time. You may be smart enough to realize it's all a game, but you also have to be smart enough to play along and do what you're told.
Nobody makes it though unless they want to be there. It's a means to and end.

dunno, but it would be something to try anyways.

I've always wanted to join the Marines b/c of their vigorous boot camp. I'd love the challenge of it all. I can't take orders for crap either, but it's a good way to learn some discipline. If I could do their boot camp w/out actually joining the Marines, I'd be right there!

When my s.o. went through he said a female DI threw him out of the van when he arrived at Parris Island...I thought that was awesome. I would make it all of 20 minutes...
