I find this to be more realistic than the commercial with the chess LARPing marine.

man if this is what makes you want to join, maybe you should

False advertising! To be realistic, an IED should have blown his face off when he least expected it.

This is like that stage in God of War. Are we training the marines to kill gods?

This is like that level in Quake.

No empire has ever been so retarded

Do they even train marines to use swords? Even their sabres, let alone a MAGIC LONGSWORD?

Apparently only 10th level fighters with at least one +2 or better weapon need apply.

What they don't tell you is that only the top 5% of Marines ever get stationed in Middle Earth.

"it is more than a trial by fire." Yes, also by lava monster

I wonder if the Roman Empire had ads saying "Join the Legion, fight a cyclops!"

My favorite part of those ads is the end when they morph into their uniforms. Badasses.

Marine boot camp is harder than Navy boot camp, but fortunately much, much shorter. (30 secs)

Roll for Damage.

Are they so desparate they are going for us geeks now?

Not pictured: Marines making fun of starving lava monster kids.

So where's the Marine commercial where a bunch of them are snuggling next to each other in various mountain locales while fretting about the flying Nazgul?

I remember seeing this ad for the first time as a kid, so it's probably at least 15 years old. It was probably made during the height of the SNES/Genesis era. Still hilarious.

That's a gnarly obstacle course. Boot camp is rough.

No, the title does not sum it up. I was expecting a lava monster to say "Eh Marine!" and slap her on the back of the head. I want my money back.

NUKE IT FROM ORBIT.
ONLY WAY TO BE SURE.
