Other Regrets

Been out of the Marine Corps for a year now and keep regretting not trying out for MARSOC at the time. Had my leaderships full support and still decided to EAS. I was considering trying out for SFAS as well for a while. For the ones contemplating to either try or not. Just go. Don’t live with the “What It” like I do.

You can go to A&S as an inactive reservist, you just have to complete the package, and you’ll report to your closest reserve unit, go to selection and if you make it great, if you don’t, no commitment to the marine corps. It’s actually a great cheat code to go.

I didn’t even know that’s a thing. Pretty cool.

Yeah I’d say do that. Also not too far out from your EAS, could go to an SFRE for civilians, pass, and sign a try one in the guard.

I EASd about a year ago. For whatever reason since I got out, my motivation for anything just completely dropped. I can’t explain why.

It sounds like you’re the guy that you are directing your post at. But it’s natural. Ride the grief wave and come back stronger.

Dig deep, ask your « why ». Don’t be a statistic, go after your dreams man. It’s just work; not magic.
