Do recruits from all MOS's go to 29 Palms for MOS Schooling? If not, where are other MOS schools located? Thanks again.

1: Recruits dont go to MOS school, recruits go to recruit training. Marines g to MOS school.
2: Once recruits graduate recruit Training and become Marines, they go to either SOI west-east All Infantry complete their 8+ weeks of MOS school at ITB, and non infantry go to something like 28 straight days at MCT Marine Combat Training (aka Marine Camping Trip, or 4th phase)
3: After completion of either MCT or ITB, the Marine either gets orders to his "victor unit" (infantry)or moves on to their MOS school. That school could be at 29 palms, fort lennard-wood, Pensicola Florida...ect... There are LOTS of different schools for LOTS of different jobs.

29 Palms is where communicates Marines go to MOS school. Other jobs are taught at bases across the US, and many of them are not Marine bases. If you tell us what job you're looking at we could do more to tell you where your MOS school would be.

That is one of the few jobs I wish I would have known about before I enlisted. Being a 2111 would be great.

Do 2111's get to wear their utilities rather than the Charlies and, this may be a dumb question, but do Armorers ever get deployed?

Everyone wears utilities on most days.
As for your second question- I'll let you answer it yourself. Just ask yourself if you think a weapon may ever be broken on a deployment-- and if so who would fix it. Once you've done that, you'll have your answer.
