Marine DI school might as well just be called brainwashing, screws up everybody who does it.....

“Everybody”? Some of the finest jarheads I served with were fellow DI’s. I doubt you are vocal in that assessment in the company of former “Hats” but be that as it may, and in the sanctity of internet anonymity, you are entitled to an opinion (no matter how ignorant). Thank you for your service though.

IRT battalion colors, during my time 89-02), 1stBn wore Red, 2nd dark Green, 3rd herd Blue, and 4th wore a feminine light blue (plus the WM DI’s didn’t wear the campaign covers).

It was like being in a very large family and for the most part you looked out for each other. I was also given the chance to meet some very interesting people and customs. If I had not got hurt and just discouraged by it all and the way things changed I think I would have stayed.

If he got a job he loved right out of the box, he should count his blessings. Over the course of my career I lost count of how many guys whined, "My recruiter lied to me." Mine was 'inaccurate' when he told me what my job would be but in a roundabout way I ended up in the field that suited me best and has paid off extremely well since retirement. My second career would not have been possible if I'd walked away from the first one over something like that.
Tell him to stay tough and stay in the game, it's worth it.
