I know this has probably been asked before, but the search function seems to provide zero results for "MOS," which is strange...
Anyway.
I'm going to ship as soon as I select my MOS. I went in hoping to get into Intel (0200), but the jobs seem extremely scarce. I'm looking to go in ASAP, however, so I'm reconsidering MOS's. My recruiter has been somewhat helpful, but seems hesitant to recommend something.
I have a conflict of interests with regards to infantry: I think I would do well, and I'm no pussy, but I have a little girl on the way so I feel that entering into something directly related to combat would be irresponsible with regards to my (growing) family.
My stats:
23 years old, some college work completed (enough for E-2 out of basic). I would like to go through the Mustang program as soon as it's available to me. I scored a 97 on the ASVAB and will be taking the DLAB this weekend, which I anticipate doing well on. I'm as motivated as a civilian can be.
I'm in this to serve the Corps and the Country. I want to be somewhere that's fast-paced, exciting and where my quick-thinking and cool-headedness (again, as much as a civilian can claim to have) can be of the most use. If anyone has any recommendations for MOS's, I'd like to hear them.
Adjacently, I've been told that Intel jobs are "boring." Can someone affirm/deny this description?
Thanks to all, and Semper Fi.
