Nothing could be further from the truth. There are PLENTY of skinny guys that are built like 13 yr old girls in the military. Sounds like a cop out.....

Yeah... he can get in with that. Min weight for 74" is 148, They'll waiver 13 lbs. Go see a Marine Corps Recruiter. Take him to outback or something before he goes to MEPS. If you have questions, PM me or something, I won't BS you just to get him in like some recruiters will.

I'm not going to tell you how to handle your brother. It's not my business. I would try to protect him from being seriously injured also. He is blood. You'll handle your business however you choose, you are a grown man.

What will this mean to you in 10 years? Will it be that important, or is it something that you will look back on and wish you could change what you did?

Good luck, man. I'm here if you need me.

Sounds to me like little brother should stay away from these guys. He got ripped off for $500. That should be lesson enough. $500 is not worth anybody getting hurt, or messing up their life, over.

He shouldn't be buying pot for anybody either. That constitutes trafficking, in Canada anyway. If he doesn't learn from this, he'll end up learning the hard way.

A friend told me the other day, nothing good happens after 2 AM. How true.......

Thanks MadHat...If things change I'll give you a PM and have him talk to ya.

Anyways...he's learned his lesson...and it will only be driven deeper into his colon once my old man get back from his horse run. For the next week or so he's getting escorted around, and I gave him my truckers club to keep in his car, I carry a Glock anyways, so I don't need it. The kid that threatened my mom will be spending the next few weeks in jail...the judge decided he can't bail out... The other 2 guys have a long list of charges being brought against them, but the one of them was more just along for the ride, he never really did anything...wrong crowd though, so he'll be getting a nice sentence too.

The indian is still out wherever, I'm not gonna go looking for him, but if he's walking down the road its his responsibility to get out of my way, cause I'm not wasting effort on his sorry behind.

but thats just me. i guess its different were you live.

let the law hopefully do its just and just be careful.
if this is the way y'all would handle this than y'all are as much idiots as the kid is for buying the pot in the first place.

retaliation is absolutely the wrong way to handle this situation. you dont know how many other punks that those guys/kids could have been in with.

its threats like that that could get you killed, then who would protect your family?

3) He's 19, and knows possessing marijuana is illegal
4) He's 19, and needs to grow up and stop lying to his parents
5) He's 19, and probably knows these guys are bad news from the experiences you've had with them
6) He's 19, and probably knows at least one person that has been robbed during a drug deal
7) He's 19, and he asked for it, stay out of it.
8) He's 19, and in my opinion his brother ought to be kicking his butt for 1-8 above.

x2 on this

Sounds like Hat has the right idea as usual. Send him in the Corps and have him make something out of himself before it's too late. He could be 6'2" 237 pounds after a year or so of good healthy discipline.
Good luck.

This is a tough call. I have read alot of good information here. I would like to point out, $500 is a cheap lesson compared to the real cost of drugs and bad people in your life.

I hope this works out for your family.

Very simple story, boy went to hoods and tried to buy drugs, boy is lucky all he got was ripped off. Boy needs to grow up and spend his money on something other than drugs, thus avoiding thugs and avoiding this type of scenario again end of story.

This one has no further redeeming qualities to it.
