For marines, would you consider basic training the hardest part?

I’m not looking to join solely on difficulty, but I am open to joining at one point if my career projectory doesn’t go as planned. I’ve considered Army, Navy, and Air Force, but I am sold on the marine corps so far. Also, I have a bachelor’s in science in case that elaborates anything. I’m rather picking everyone’s mind who has served in the Corps from their personal experience with my question.

Was I the only guy who felt this way?

When I was at NCSU, I will admit that I did try going to Glenwood avenue bars on the weekends in hopes of meeting women around my age while I was in school. However, it seemed like I was pretty much invisible and they were pretty much obsessed with the fratty types who were there. Were there any other guys who felt the same way when they were at NCSU?

Is it just me?

I picture the typical GI wearing Oakleys and a stupid baseball cap, covered in arm tats, driving a big ass truck, going to a bar after work, and we go gym trying to look tough despite never seeing combat. It’s all I see around Fayetteville.

Although I graduated a while back and I did enjoy the academics and the networking opportunities the college had to offer. However, I am more depressed looking back as I will admit that I didn’t exactly fit in and I did join some clubs. The ones that I did really fit in were for the most part ones that restarted a few years after the COVID lockdowns, however I was already close to graduating by then. I’m just looking back and seeing fellow alumnus getting married and having relationships to this day while I’m still alone. (Yes, I am expecting comments saying it’s a me issue and I blame myself for part of it) I just didn’t have time to date or do anything due to all of the classes I was taking and I had to work at the same time, despite loved ones to tell me to “Make Time” when it was virtually impossible on my behalf. I will blame myself for time management, but I will also admit that I had bad professors in some classes who made their teaching material ridiculous rather than it should have been.

I just feel like I wasted part of my life and do not get me wrong: I made some good friends at NCSU, but not the amount I would have liked. When I attended UNCC, I thought it was easier to make friends and approach women, but NCSU was a different story when I was in business college. If you’re going to ask me why I switched institutions, it’s because I did earn a lot of scholarships so I wouldn’t have to take out massive loans and I looked at it from a financial perspective. It just seems like everyone is thriving and I am not as I am getting more depressed by each year. I don’t fully regret going to NCSU due to the networking opportunities with companies and professional and I loved the academics, but I just felt like I didn’t exactly fit in with the student population socially speaking for the most part compared to UNCC.

I’m stoked I found Anakin’s Starfighter from the 2003 TCW series, especially with the SDCC exclusive of Anakin and Asajj being released.

I will admit that I do look forward to seeing Plo Koon, Bohdi Rook, and the Asajj/Anakin 2 Pack. Other than that, I was expecting more clone wars, shadow lord, and Andor reveals.
