Shouldn't have worn all the rainbows and sparkles... and DEFINITELY should have rethought the purple hair. You made yourself look like a joke going into a Marines recruiting office like that. Not trying to be mean.... but as someone who WAS marines I have seen enough laughter and judgement about anything and anyone different. It's just how they are programmed. They need tough, strong, and masculine.... not fragile, sensitive, colorful and excentric
Marines ARE part of the Navy
and you went dressed like that???
You keep trying baby YOU GOT THIS
Marines don't take rainbow warriors.
Don't waste your time with the navy either.They won't take you.There are new rules and it's the way that it used to be.Maybe the coast guard will take you
if that made you cry you probably want to stay out of the Marines anyways
actually should have gone to the Air Force
Bro- not trying to be mean- but very few people get to live their dream- the fact that your emotionally disregulated enough to cry to the entire internet about not making the cut is proof you are not in fact cut out for the marines. What are you gonna do about it? Sit and cry, or suck it up and strengthen the parts of you that are holding you back and try again? That’s a marine attitude, not whatever it is you’re doing 👍🏼
You're crying in your car worse your filming yourself and posting it...and you want to be a Marine??
Don't ask dont tell and go away.
well at the end of the day all they wants is for you not to give up. they push people to the breaking point on purpose because in combat they won't let up so if you can push through the emotions at the end you'll come out stronger than you went in.
I am sorry, but as a Marine veteran, I can say that you really should practice the PFT tasks- running minimum of 3 miles in under 15 minutes, push ups and pull ups. I also don’t recommend the rainbow garb. Doesn’t reflect well on the Marines’ first impression. It can be possible, but it is not for everyone.
yep...that rainbow bullcrap probably did you in....try being normal next time
😂🤣😂... Yea, your literally needing to join the Power Puff Girls instead.
maybe go to theory and figure out what's causing you to act this way
ahh the navy. 🤌🤌🤌😂🤣 they know what's up with that rainbow ass bs
why would you go in there looking that way it's the marines 🤦
yea, you wouldn't make it in any branch of the military.
The Biden/Harris administration did you no favors.
They want warriors not rainbow warriors.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Try joining the girl scouts !!!!!!!!
😂😂😂😂😂
Crying and accepting defeat is not what the Marines are looking for , as they say 1st impressions are lasting impressions, he should have gone there to make an impact that is positive not look like antifa then cry about it, I joined at 17 my junior year, finished high school and then went active duty, best decision I ever made in my life
unless your ASVAB test scores were through the roof the Navy ain't going to take your ass either. better go try and join the space force.
his problems are that he's no following dreams he's trying to make everyone else change to his dreams delusional
Ish go to the Navy still armed forces and you get to still serve your country keep pushing 💙💙💙💙🕯️🕯️
Just what we need in the Marines someone who's going to run away and cry cause they were told no😂
well maybe next time visit your local recruiting office you should wear a different hat
You wouldn't survive they don't have safe spots.
Just dress appreciate
it's a joke people
lose all the pride get up we get it you are gay or support it thats fine but there is a time and place for flaunting
don't worry there's always Starbucks
dress like a normal person not a tv commercial
if you can't handle being rejected you probably shouldn't join any form of military. your too soft
Lol...these folks really love the drama.
mmmm no, sorry you won't be a Marine,
lol the service is not for the weak
You definitely belong in the Navy
My boy the marines are a special breed! I was Army for 9 years! I can tell you would NOT make it in the marines or Army! We did a 25 mile road march with rucks rifles and I carried the guide on as well! We put our pup tents up and my FS opened the flap on my tent and it rained in my truck my dry clothes. We .arched in the rain soaked! Our thighs were bleeding! I really dont believe your rainbow mentality is going to work! I wish you the best!rifles
that's what makes it better. run an cry. 😭
If the practice pft was dramatic, then you may not be marine material. Not everyone is.
you have to choose a sex on the application. there is no make be leave genders only make-believe religions
yall got the most outstanding colors of all colors you'd be the first one shot
Were you Crying before or after, you set up the camera 😂
