But on the plus side, there aren't hordes of enemy soldiers converging on you and your two buddies out in the field.

BRO. I ship out for basic TOMORROW and you're only telling me NOW that the military isn't like the video games 😤😤😤 I'm heated.

The fact that kids still think the military is like CoD is legitimately disheartening.

exactly. The closest you can get to that in real life is probably combat sports like MMA or boxing/kickboxing. Other than that, it's a job for a reason.

Imagine a recruit getting court marshalled cause he tried to do some elaborate 360 trick shot with his rifle and ended up shooting his teammate by accident

Its exactly like cod. You can drop shot the enemy.

A real good game is squad, you sit in the back of a truck for 10 minutes, then you set up a fob for 5 minutes, run for another 5 minutes, and then get 1min to suppres fire until you get shot

The CCO (red dot optics) are just like the scopes on FPS shooters

Some of the missions on CoD look fun af and it would be cool to do in person, Im joining the Marine Raider Regiment when I get shipped out and although I'm not doing it because I want to see action sometimes it'd be cool to picture doing stealth ops type missions, Also ik the Mission you're talking about because it is the one I was referring too, that mission where you're going house to house sneakily seems fun

Military is not a shooting activity, its how to handle the resources. And Navy Seals missions is unimaginably more complicated than even the most complicated game concoctable.

Great info! This vid is spot on in that there are a lot of military myths. I have been in about 17 years now and have served in the Army and Air Force. Because there are so many topics I wish I had researched before joining, I just created a channel to help ppl learn from my experience (YTC: Carli C.) Thanks for the info.

Can you switch gears and go to ranger school after a contract or 2 in the army?

can I teabag enemies when they go down?

I joined the army as a huge gamer, and I didn't start playing cod until after I had got my DD214. I just was never interested in it. I didn't even start playing military style FPS games until after I joined. My only expectation of the military was being yelled at, which doesn't really happen.

The military recruits. Like I said they are great advertisers for getting people to think they are gonna do the amazing things that only a handful really get to do. But they gotta recruit however they can and like I mentioned in the video kids who play shooter games they are probably more likely to join. So they are just goin to that audience lol

This is what air-soft is there for

The closest thing you're are going to get in the military being cod like is the infantry or special forces. Which special forces is the 1% of the 1%.

To all the kids who want to join the military to experience combat... you probably won't respawn if you get killed LOL

Me being a halo fan and playing that is not the main reason to wanna join the military in real life just from playing as a spartan I mean yah a lot of people who get themselves exposed to those make-believe things gives them this idea but that reason on its own is not the legitimate reason to wanna join

maybe military isn't like a Call of Duty. but i like Call of Duty.😂

Hell nah . Nothing a like dat COD. Cod doesn’t tell u. How sore u are everyday.

Especially the squeakers or tryhards in COD who run around the map with a sniper rifle like a shotgun doing some stupid thing called quickscoping or jumping amd sliding, then these same idiots join the military. They run out in the field, compromise their platoon or squadron, step on an ied or mine get limbs blown off or shot at by hot lead and then start crying in excruciating pain because they thought running around with a 30 lb anti material rifle or 20 lb assault rifle with full out kit was the same as a digital game......

The most realistic games ive played are DCS and arma 3
