Default Do you think I should join the marine corps?

So yeah, I have a hangover and realize that my life is way in the dumper

1.) My friends are all psychotic. Most have been arrested/ moved/gone totally insane
2.) because of all the stuff Ive been doing, I'm doing crappy in school still.
3. I have a large debt(at least large for me)
4. My mind is splitting and I seriously have a death wish.

So I was looking for a solution.I could only find the solution of kill myself. But after really thinking about it, I think joining the marine corps is a good idea.?!?
so this is why
1.) i want to die anyway this is a good opportunity
2.) I will escape all the problems I have by bieng wisked to boot camp( I have been to a boot camp before(instead of community service this was a dumb decision. so I know the kind of torture it will bring
3.) I dont know I like the outdoors.

Is this another worst idea ever? thoughts please...

You are the perfect candidate for the Marines. Go forth, my son, and kill for the USA.

No, I think if you have no fear of death you will make a great soldier.

SB,

having served for 5 years in the Corps, you are not a very good fit.

So yeah, this could very well be the worst idea ever.

Try a branch that is more relaxed. Like the Air Force.

Plus, the air force takes much better care of its people.

I agree on all points except the last one.

edit: ...on second thought, the Corps has helped more than a few misguided young men make sense of their lives. The problem is it's w/o knowing you personally, it's tough to say whether it would be your best or worst decision ever.
