MOS 3432 deployment question

[Iammarshall]

I am curious as to where i will be based, my mos is 3432...

Also, having 3432 as my mos, could anyone give me a day to day of the career? (ive spoken to my recruiter and exhausted all my internet-search options) and am hoping to find some more insight...

Thank you,
Marshall

================================================== =
On a side note, worry about getting thru boot camp first and then your MOS school. :thumbup:

Places you can be stationed as a 3432:

-Kansas City, MO/New Orleans, LA (MOBCOM)
-Parris Island, SC
-Camp Lejuene, NC
-San Diego, CA
-Camp Pendleton, CA
-Okinawa, Japan
-Some place in Hawaii

Note: MOBCOM is in the process of moving from Kansas City (actually Belton, MO) to New Orleans.

Day to day is the same as any other MOS. You PT in the morning (or at chow depending on the temps outside in the morning). Then you go to work and pay Marines.

Deployments are also pretty much the same as other MOSs(unless you go to MOBCOM or one of the Depots because they are non-deployable).

Thank you LASWMarine,
thanks for the advice about worrying about getting through boot camp/mos school, and as it pertains to this question, im going to dangerously assume those two challenges go well

for the sake of argument lets say MCRT and my MOS school go just just fine, i was just curious as to where stateside i may be based while not deployed...

and as for the main description, i read that on us*************, and want to get feedback from the real deal

Thanks again,
Marshall

thanks br34 couldn't have asked for a better answer

I remember getting split pay from disbursing in '03... there's nothing like getting cold hard cash to lose later in the night....

[Iammarshall]

im guessing split pay meant you got half cash money and half direct deposited?

[Petz]

if you make it through boot camp then MCT THAN MOS school, then you'll know.
