besides the 02xx field... any other ones?
Reason I ask is because my chance at getting 0231 are slim because of unavailable slots (I'm still optimistic though!) and, if I don't end up with 02xx, I'd atleast want another MOS with a TS clearance.
Thanks for your help!

Why are you so worried about an MOS that requires a TS? Why not just worry about becoming a Marine .

PIB, is that basic officer? I was trying to confirm it in about.com but it doesn't list anything above 9000 anymore.
Can someone enlighten me? I know all officer candidates must be eligible for a TS clearance, but that doesn't mean they all get them, right?

It's a basically trained Marine, i.e. the champ's first and foremost goal!:no:
NB: You caught me. Apparently this is no longer the proper designator. Got the following from about.com.. Do I get to start feeling salty yet? (Please don't answer that):scared:
Note: The Marine Corps does not currently use Special Identifier MOS's (Field 98 through 99) for enlisted Marines. They were eleminated in 2006 and 2007. The below Special Identifier MOS information is maintained here for historic purposes, only.

They have HMX come right to MP school and scoop people up from there. If you get HMX and you get through the background check, you will obtain the yankee white security clearence. Something you need to be able to carry a loaded weapon next to the president. civilian sector opens way up with one of those...

The President's Own Marine Corps Band requires the TS.
9900 is your very first MOS and you are assigned it the day you step on the yellow foot prints and maintain it until you have completed MOS school. I'm not really sure how they do it now.
I don't know if they consider 2651s an 02xx field, but it requires a super high ASVAB score. If you're good with electronics and nerdy stuff like that, its the way to go.
I'm trying to remember that guys name .. I think it was Sgt Lone Pine ... foggy memory.

Well....no.. 2651 is not an 02xx because it doesn't start with 02. FYI

LOL...no, it falls in the 26xx field. Thanks for the laugh though!
