Rejected from the army!
Rejected from the army!
Hi i'm, josh
I recently got a letter telling me I couldn't join the army yet because i have braces, does anyone know what the marines policy is on braces and dental plans?
I'm 16 and i'm pretty fit, my 1.5 mile run time in 9 mins 30 secs does anyone know the fitness requirements as well?

Mate , joining the corp isn't something you just decide to do because the army won't accept you due to braces. Your heart needs to be in it , and i can see your only 16 ...you have plenty of time to wait it out and get fitter. Just be patient , take your time and go for what you really want , not something that is just available at the time.

I'll second that and I quoted it for truth.marinewannabe wrote:Mate , joining the corp isn't something you just decide to do because the army won't accept you due to braces.

Braces will pass in time and I'm sure you won't regret having them. Who does?? Have a good think to yourself and take time to consider your options ok.
Either way, you may suprise yourself.
No matter what you apply for though, your heart has to be in it.
I wish you all the best for the future. Mfat will still be here if or when you decide to crack on.

just check out the marine website, and compare notes, you'll see the difference, you'll hear different arguements from everyone about whos the best and all that crap...but your head has to be in the right place to go for it, so its your choice mate.

Get a job, get some life experience, you'll be a better soldier for it!
Use the time wisely, and it'll go down well with the recruiters.

You can have peace.
Or you can have freedom.
Don't ever count on having both at once.
