Hello,
my name is PFC Aaron Lavoie and i could really use some insight on a situation.
I shipped to boot camp in December of 2012 with a HZ Reconnaissance man contract. I graduated in March and left for SOI ITB West the same month. I graduated SOI ITB in May and received orders to report to Reconnaissance Training Battalion to start my training in MART (Marines Awaiting Reconnaissance Training). it was at this point that i realized my swimming skill where not were they needed to be in the pool and dropped from the course. At this point in my career i had heard that if you drop you get reclassed to a new MOS and no longer stay a 0311. this rumor was true and i got reclassed to 0651 Data Network Specialist. now im in 29 palms awaiting training for my new MOS
well now that you know the situation I have a few questions that if anyone could shed some light on i would greatly appreciate
1. when can i put in for a lat move
2. do first term lat moves usually get approved
3. does already owning the MOS your trying to lat move to help the approval process
4. and if i cant lat move what are the chances i will see combat if i deploy as an 0651
any insight would be greatly appriciated. thank you all Semper Fi
