To all future present and former MARINES

[killtoilie]

What is/was your MOS? Why did you choose it? And what was your best Marine Corps Moment? Ill start. Im doing Avation Crew Chief, Im looking forward to helping ground troops. I have no Marine Corps Moment because Im not a Marine, YET.

[ElDiablo]

I'm not even a Poolee yet, but definetly going 03XX Infantry, only MOS I can see me doing.

[TheBiggness]

Yep, me to.

[killtoilie]

Ill be on the 50's to get you boys out

[Integrity57]

I'm also not a poolee yet but want to be a 2111 Small Arms Repairer MOS.

[killtoilie]

I'm also not a poolee yet but want to be a 2111 Small Arms Repairer MOS.
Why would you want to do that?

[ElDiablo]

Because its got to be done. Eventually everything breaks, and then we need people like Integrity to fix 'em for us.:)

[thezero]

Well me I am looking strongly into 03xx or possibly 5811 because I am taking a Criminal Justice class at the Tri-County Technical Center, something for school.

[ElDiablo]

Yeah, I'm going there too. Mostly because they PT everyday and stuff.

[USMC90]

03xx.. want 0311. Why you ask? Because Infantry leads the way b*tches.
:D

[ElDiablo]

Same. Preferably 0311 but will settle for anything in 03XX. And definetly wanna be up front:evilgrin:

[killtoilie]

Is there any MARINES in the house?

[bgsuwoody]

Yes but these aren't there kind of threads...they are more inclined to answer specific questions that haven't been answered yet or wait for one of the poolees to say something stupid, pounce on them like jaguars, laugh, share a drink and some popcorn, and then write up the tally of who owes who a new keyboard or monitor....did I get that right 84?

[ElDiablo]

Lol!!!! :)

[Books]

I'm going to try for MOS 9991. I hear that MOS school is pretty tough.

[SgtHMH]

I will comment.

It is the Air Gound Team in the Corps that kicks A**, all MOSs in the Marine Corps are important. From Admin to Force Recon, but all Marines are basic Grunts. Your a Marine and that is what only matters, you do your job the best you can and look out for your fellow Marines. Once you become a Marine NCO, you main thing is your lower ranking Marines, you look out for them and watch out for them the best you can. It does not matter what MOS you have, your a Marine. All Marines are trained the sameway and do the samethings in training, but some MOSs are differant. It has to be that way to win and kick a**. At anytime every Marine can pick up a rifle and stand next to each other and fire, hit targets on the lines. That is why there is only two Boot Camps MCRD SD and PI for the Marine Corps.

Semper FI Do or Die

I think you're gonna "get" the mental part hands down, no problem ;) I like being called a jaguar:banana:

[HurricaneRJ]

;) I like being called a jaguar:banana:

I'm so intrigued to know why.

Back on topic.

I'm hopefully going to be 0311, I don't if you can sign-up to be a 0321 in the Reserves or not. Since a Recon Co. is only 90 miles up the road and infantry is 120 miles.

[Integrity57]

Why would you want to do that?

I want to do it because it interests me and because of the technical side of it, gunsmithing has just always been something I respected and wanted to try my hand at. If/when I earn the title, I eventually hope to be stationed at Quantico repairing Force Recon's weapons and the Marine Corps shooting team's weapons. Plus what would the all the other Marines do without the small arms repairers? Fix 'em themselves? lol j/k
;) :beer:

[PooleeCJohnson]

My MOS is going to be 0511 MAGTF Planning Speicalist. No stories yet I'll be back with them 14 weeks from now tho. ;)

[1jarhead06]

if you dont have your MOS before you leave for bootcamp your going to be what ever they need. SO it works like this if they need a cook your a cook but my guess is you"ll all be 0311 lol. open contract means 0300.

yea, thats what im looking into. but im not totaly sure yet. but i have to go to summer school to get my diploma. so when i do that to get my contract straight, i am going to take my NJROTC Instructor with me so i dont get screwed over. so yea, i think that im gonna go 2111 tho. but im not totaly sure yet.

[Echo_Four_Bravo]

I was 2532 (it is now 0622). I didn't choose it, it is a long story- but suffice it to say that it is why I would still tear my recruiter into little pieces if I found him.

Hard telling what my best Marine Corps moment was. In a strange way, the worst of times usually end up being remember the best.

[MKinney]

I am currently an 1161 (Refrigeration Mechanic). I didn't choose to be that, as I wanted 1371 Combat Engineer. And well I haven't really seen anything too awesome yet. Given time I'm sure I'll have stories to post.

[USMC90]

How come you Marines didn't get what MOS you wanted? Aren't you allowed to choose or did your recruiters F you on that?

[MKinney]

I didn't pass the required swim qual for CE, so I was giving a utilities mos 1100 which goes along with the engineer field 1300.

[Bullrider]

I would love to be a 03XX(0351) or 08XX(0861), however as I am not a poolee yet nothing is decided or set in stone.

[rvillac2]

I was 0811.

Finest Marine Corps moment: Tossed a boot 1LT several feet and onto the ground in front of the CO. Knucklehead was using his body armor to help put out a powder-burn wildfire at Pendleton....with 2 40mm HE and some pop-ups tucked into the pockets!

[Marine84]

open contract means 0300.

Not necessarily - I was open contract and got Ordnance. Then again, I'm a female so 03 field was out of the question. There are all kinds of MOSs to throw folks in if you're open contract.

[jimrod83]

I'm no poolee yet, but I'm looking to try and get into the 6xxx class(aviation), just like my dad. Love mechanical stuff, though small arms repair also sounds interesting.

[TheBiggness]

Why would you want to do that?

Somebody has to fix our rifles. :thumbup:

[rvillac2]

I'm going to try for MOS 9991. I hear that MOS school is pretty tough.

Nobody got your joke.
This school is the longest and toughest. Only one graduate every 4 years or so.

[Books]

Nobody got your joke.


I hate it when that happens.

[Covey_Rider]

I'm a 1371 Combat Engineer...and as for stories go, talk to me when you become a Marine and I'll tell you all the stories that you want. I have plenty but none that you'll understand as well until you ARE a Marine. Path your own paths as there are many different paths to take in the Marine Corps. It's easy to slip up in the Marine Corps. Boot Camp is the easy part because there isn't much room for error...you are told what to do and when to do it 24/7 for 13 weeks straight. When you get to the fleet how you act and how you do things is all up to you.

[kherrick]

I'm thinking of heading into either Combat Arms or Enlisted Aviation or 03xx Infantry. I already took my ASVAB test in bangor and passed. I'm doing my physical testing this week, that so now all I need to do is wait till I finish High School. I am gonna be a senior.

[raiderfanatic21]

5811 Military Police

[jpal3451]

double post*


See below

[jpal3451]

I'm a 3451, Financial Mgt Resource Analysist ...lol. Im actually sitting in our classroom waiting for our graduation ceramony. I did not contract into this MOS, I was actually supposed to go to Pensacola and become a winger ... but the needs of the Corps sent me here to Camp Johnson :-)

Best moment in the Corps? The 2nd night of the Crucible after we finished.... it was an incredible feeling.

[KittyRina]

I want to be 0621 Field Radio Op. I love technical stuff, and also want to be part of combat. :yes:

[JAFORG]

I'm also not a poolee, yet. But my prefered MOS' are 2111 small arms repair or 08XX artillery. I love weapons and I want to be the best at mastering them. Not only externally, but internally also. Damn I can't wait to become a poolee. And eventually earn the title. :D

[skaterjon89]

I want to be the commandant of the Marine Corps...

[Smitty Puffs]

0311 Rifleman.

I want to play with guns and blow **** up.

[futuremarine129]

03XX hopefully, if I work hard enough then I'll reach my ultimate goal of becomming a MARSOC warrior.

[marinebaby17]

My mos is 0600 basic communication. I wanted combat engineer but my asvab score wasn't high enough:cry:. So instead I got this, I hope I get field wiremen, just because Im more of a hands-on person and I like being outside.
