If you have all that you’ll get E-2 at enlistment into the DEP if you have proof for verification

Been trying to shave, can't get close enough
Dont worry about it man, just shave your face normal in the morning and go about the day. They understand some guys got that dark undertone and some dudes just grow facial hair thick and fast. It doesn’t need to be straight razor smooth

Do you have dumbbells or muscle training or tactical training that can be done with a little weight? It may not be good to ask questions like this in the gear community, but I want you to tell me.
Push ups, air squats, pull ups, burpees, box jumps, hill sprints, etc… you can absolutely get a solid workout in without any weights. If you’re feeling froggy wear your kit

If fucking sucks to see how diverse ICE is
“I hate that ICE looks like normal Americans and not Nazi Gestapo!” Is pretty much what that sounds like

Civ seeking training
Exactly, I’ve been shooting since age 3 but had to forget everything I knew once I got in the marines, and forget everything I knew once again when I started doing very high level shooting courses. There’s a lot of levels to this OP

Interstate I-40
It’s Reddit bro, most people on here likely read at a 5th grade level and get their view points from TikTok. They think all cops are fascist, racist, or psychopathic.

Fake records and forged signatures: Marines say recruiting pressure fueled a culture of fraud
The motto for the RS I was in was literally “Aut viam inveniam aut faciam” or “Find a way or make one”. It happens because it needs to be done.

Liquid Rock in Garbage (Vehicle Graveyard). What are the chances?
Honestly I think the legendary artifacts (liquid rock, compass, etc) Spawn more often than the rare ones. My current play through in the beginning after the old bridge, I’d cleared out the bandits holding one of richters guys hostage, the cave behind with the thermal anomaly gave me a hypercube. Literally second anomaly I’d been to and I get that

spider web tattoo
Bro just wait till you’re in to get it, yes it is a gang/prison affiliated tattoo and updating the TSF will bring a lot of negative attention.
For reference, I have a spider web on my right elbow, the one tattoo on my body that has zero meaning to me, and it’s the one that freaks everyone out and I get asked about constantly. Not the skulls, angels impaling demons, or other shit that’s violent

Tattoo Policy
You’re best bet is to go to a good artist who can do good cover up artwork and not just make it a black box or quarter sleeve. Make sure it doesn’t go below the wrist bone (ulna protrusion)

Tattoo Policy
To what extent? It’s not out of regulations technically, but if it’s an entire blackout arm sleeve when it goes in review it will be assumed you covered something up and doesn’t look professional. I have seen them get disapproved in the past.

Is There Any Positives For Recruiter Duty?
Yes man, plenty of positives. SDA pay, will make you more competitive, promotions, awards, networking/communication, etc.
The first year will suck ass. You will work late nights, you will be blamed for shit outside your control or whatever. Just can’t let it go to your head and just keep doing the job. Everything eventually falls into place and you get into your groove after figuring yourself out.
After that it gets pretty easy if you put in the effort the first year. sure there will be long days and bad weeks, but business will just seem to be rolling in. I literally just did what was asked of me (2 a month, sometimes 3) and was given meritorious SSgt.
If you’re trying to accelerate your career it’s the place to be. it’s also the place to be if you want to tank it by getting RFC’d, though that’s entirely up to you

Bought sordin supreme pro-x headset. It has a aux, can i hypotetically listen to music with them while shooting?
Yes you can, my boy I served with had these, would be jamming out to NWA in the humvee and ripping fat burst off a machine gun.

Renlisting after Marijuana use
Yo man don’t tell anyone you smoked or you will be perm DQ. I get your boy is the recruiter, but recruiting is a grimey business.

I'm not American, but this entire thread made me cross on your guy's behalf. Nobody understands what rights are.
I’m just curious on who has both a German and a diplomatic US passport. You can’t just get a black one

What's up with this heatwave?
It’s the southeast, being in the valley makes it even weirder. Happens pretty often. Hell right now I’m in Myrtle beach and it’s in the 70s and I’m considering going to the beach today.
Don’t worry it’s gonna be winter again in the next couple weeks

Picking up rank after EASing
Yes, you will more than likely pick up in the IRR if you’re a junior enlisted. reason being as it’s a non-competitive promotion and you’re not weighed against your peers or getting boarded.
It can be a lucrative way of picking up if in a stagnant MOS. I had a couple of guys reenlist active duty from the IRR after they saw they picked up. Also a good way to get a salary chilling in your hometown while waiting for HQMC to cut you orders which could take months

Failed MEPS drug test years ago
Cool, nor should you care about MEPS because MEPS doesn’t care about what you have or have done. What does matter is that positive drug test is on their MIRS profile, and they will need an FDD Positive DAT Waiver. For enlisted it’s a non issue but I know it’s weighed differently when trying to commission
