This Marine Corps Ad Sent Him to the Navy 😂
A person shares how he intended to join the Marines after seeing an inspiring commercial featuring a medieval warrior fighting a lava monster, but ended up joining the Navy instead when the Marine recruiting station was closed and a Navy recruiter convinced him to come in.
Summary
The speaker recounts a pivotal moment in his military career that started with watching a Marine Corps recruitment commercial. The ad featured a dramatic scene of a medieval warrior battling a lava monster, which transformed into a Marine in dress uniform with a saber. This imagery was so compelling that he decided he wanted to become a Marine and went to the recruiting station the next day. However, when he arrived, the Marine Corps recruiting station was closed while the adjacent Navy recruiting station was open. The Navy recruiter used a sales tactic, telling him that 'the Navy owns the Marine Corps' to draw him inside for a conversation. This chance encounter led him to ultimately enlist in the Navy's nuclear program instead of pursuing his original goal of becoming a Marine. The speaker notes that his Marine friends still tease him about this decision, suggesting he made a mistake by not waiting for the Marine recruiters to be available.
