i was medically DQ’d from the Marines for minor cerebral palsy. i seriously don’t know what the fuck to do with my life now. all i have trained and studied for is the military. no exaggeration, for the past 8 years (i am turning 19 on the 28th). i get so upset with the circle of thoughts in my head. everyone that knows me thinks i just p*ssied out and withdrew from enlisting. half of my graduating class from high school (2009) has enlisted in the Marines. now everyone thinks i am always going to be a balless civilian. i am ashamed to be stuck as a civilian, and have no military background. it makes me overwhelmingly enraged to think about the fact that i am going to go through my entire life without any military background, while half my class is going to be retired Marines with tons of stories to tell, and be respected by every beautiful girl and guy. you may think of me as just a stupid teenager, but you honestly could not understand how much i wanted this unless you could literally be inside my thoughts. i don’t know what to do. my grand kids. they’re going to be like "Daddy, was grandpa ever in the military?" and then he will say no, and my grand kids will just think of me as a weak and soft old man. i have ALWAYS wanted to have a USMC funeral when i die. now i cant. i cant because of this fucking cerebral palsy. there really is no point to my life now. all i am capable of doing is grunt infantry dirty work with a rifle and hand grenades. those are the only talents i have. combat talents. defensive and offensive thinking and maneuvering, weapon techniques, marksmanship, hand to hand combat, exercise and endurance, teamwork, no man left behind thought process, that is all i have. outside of combat i have shit for brains in the civilian world. i bet anybody anything that i cant get into any college when they look at me and see how much i am unmotivated to sit in a god damn class room. my place is out in the field. and to top that off, there is no job for me that pays well that doesn’t require college. **** being a police officer. i dont want to be a cop. cops are so looked down on by everyone it is disgusting. don’t get me wrong i would do college in a heartbeat. but i don’t know what the hell to major in. all i like is combat. i don’t know what my question is. i just have no one to vent to.
i can never claim the title Marine and wear the uniforms with pride. i cant get the brand and dog on my arm.
exactally what i expected from you ass hole veterans (darsh, scout). to bad you didnt get your heads blown off.
i would love to slit your throats. thank God we all are behind a computer.
*you should thank God we are all behind a computer

I’m 15 and have never shot a gun before and have been considering the possibility of joining the military in order to pay for college. One military job that would suit me could be a sniper, as I have patiences, coll wits, and think quickly, and have good intuition. I was wondering how I could go about doing some recreational shooting at long distances and, if I show aptitude at it, how I can get some sort of recognition to help a future military career?
Also, please keep any political opinions on the war in Iraq to yourself, I’m not asking weather joining the military is a good idea or not.
Thanks for all the answers, I didn’t want to seem like college tuition was my only motivation, and I’m well aware that a "sniper" is not as what it is portrayed as in pop culture, but from my understanding I thought my attributes would make me an eligible candidate, and If I joined the military it would be beneficial to have at least fired a gun before, and better yet have a basic understanding of marksmanship. Thanks for your answers and sorry for being so unclear!

I want to be able to take a civilian course on marksmanship with rifles (bolt action, semiautomatic, automatic if possible), but i can’t find any. I live in Florida and I am hoping to find something local. I’m only fifteen, I understand that most places require you to be 18 years of age. I can wait, but if any don’t require you to be 18 or older that would be great. Thanks for your time.

I’m looking for a .223 Remington or .308 Winchester rifle that costs between 0 and 00 and has military style iron sights as well as a mount for optics. M1A’s are a bit out of my price range and I’d rather not buy a modified California legal AR-15, but I’m still trying to buy a rifle that I can work on improving my marksmanship with an M16. Any suggestions? Thanks.
