 Two teenagers at the gym I workout at signed up for the Marines and I'm a bit disturbed.

I don't know them personally, only in passing.  My conversations with them has been about the Marines (tatoos - sticker etc..), my work, and ALOT about workout advice.

Now they've gone and done this.  I imagine there are worse things but when I asked what their MOS would be they both said 0311.

I don't like the direction the "new" Marine Corps is headed and I'm beyond tempted to tell them to bail.  If they want adventure they'd be better served going Airborne/Ranger.

What has me spun is if I played any role in them making this decision.  They're not gonna like what they're getting into.  They're being sold the Marine Corps past, not its future.

What say ya'll. Should I give them my opinion and tell them to steer clear or sit back and wait for them to come back bitter as hell?
