I will be graduating college in a year from now (December, '09) and hoping to enlist and ship to boot camp some time in early 2010. I have not made a decision about whether I would prefer to go Active or Reserve.
The reasons I would like to join the Marine Corps are, in order:
1) To do service for my Country; to Protect and Defend Her,
2) To learn Discipline in my life,
3) To become a part of a Brotherhood.
4) To learn actual military skills (so that I may live up to the Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights)
Now that you know why I want to join the Marine Corps, I will ask you my questions, detailing why I am looking for the information.
1) What is a typical day like for an Active Duty Marine while not deployed? In a time such as this I understand completely that Active or Reserve, I will be deployed; thus, the main difference between one and the other is what one does while not deployed. Possible MOS fields include Intelligence and Infantry.
2) What units have 02xx jobs? I am interested in the 02 (Intelligence) MOS Field. I have looked at the Marine Corp Reserve Units Map (http://www.marforres.usmc.mil/Units/index.asp) , and I am still unsure as to what units 02xx reservists are attached. I ask this so that I may determine where I will live after I graduate college (and if I chose the Reserve route). Currently I live in the suburbs of New York City in NY.
Those are my questions, the first rather broad, and the second rather specific.
I first looked into joining the Marine Corps after high school and each summer since then I have been a hairsbreadth from doing so. I await a time when I will test myself and hopefully count myself among you.
I really appreciate the great resource that this Site represents. Thank you in advance for your responses, and if you have any questions of me I will gladly respond.
