| 737909 | 2009-01-12 08:36:00 | Alright guys, next year I want to head over to the States and join the US Marines. Here's the problem. I need to be a US citizen (and probably a bunch of other stupid requirements) How do I go about doing this without having to live over there for 6 years or whatever I heard it was? |

| 737910 | 2009-01-12 08:44:00 | Buy a passport.....even better, why not join the French foreign legion? :D Seriously, why do you want to that? Have you tried the NZ military forces yet? |

| 737911 | 2009-01-12 08:51:00 | Was going to join our army but the Marines is more of a life long goal for me I think. | --Wolf-- (128) | ||
| 737912 | 2009-01-12 08:54:00 | Surely it would make more sense to put your question directly to the US embassy ? ? | Terry Porritt (14) | ||
| 737913 | 2009-01-12 08:58:00 | Surely it would make more sense to put your question directly to the US embassy ? ? Probably. But I'm sure someone here knows (surferjoe?) |

| 737914 | 2009-01-12 09:11:00 | I was going to suggest the French Foreign Legion too. Getting married to a US citizen would be the fastest way but not the most practical. | beeswax34 (63) | ||
| 737915 | 2009-01-12 09:20:00 | What is it about the US Marines that appeals? It is a cultural thing? Or the fact Marines shoot everything that moves!!! God loves Marines because the Marines keep heaven packed full of souls!! [/end full metal jacket...] | andrew93 (249) | ||
| 737916 | 2009-01-12 09:31:00 | Well, probably the fact that the deadliest weapon in the world is a marine and his rifle. And for the hell of it, what is your major malfunction numnuts? Ok ok I'll stop with the Full Metal Jacket quotes now too :lol: |

| 737917 | 2009-01-12 09:47:00 | Seriously - have you considered the NZ military as a first option? Or is peace-keeping not your thing? If you are good / serious enough then the NZ SAS is world-renowned. They don't run around blowing their trumpets because they don't have to - they simply get on with the job. It's no cake-walk. If you want to be a grunt then I'm not sure if being in the army of a different country will be any better / worse - that depends on whether you want to see active service or not. It's not all shooting M16s, driving hummers and manning HMGs in choppers - there's a lot less to it than you might think. Hence I ask, have you considered being a NZ grunt first? Being a grunt might not be your cup of tea - so why not try before you buy? Plus there are plenty of other career options in the armed forces - if you have the smarts why be cannon fodder? There are better military careers other than being a grunt. Also consider that applicants are vetted before acceptance - an eagerness to kill is one way of ensuring you never get in (they will be thinking : "Fruit loop alert!!!"). A |

| 737918 | 2009-01-12 10:06:00 | I have considered the NZ army, and the SAS isn't really my thing. I want to see active service. I want to go to the war in Iraq/Afghanistan. But in saying that I'm not just "out to kill" I just want to do something with my life and the Marines seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. Besides, we all know the Army stands for: Ain't Ready to be Marines Yet |
