I am stilll going through the process of becoming a Marine. So I'm still waiting.
1.)i have a couple Mos's in mind. motor transport, aircraft/auto mech., Miltary police type, But what i really want to do is something that is gonna train me to do something where i couldn't get at a trade school or college. Basically anything in the infantry but leaning towards recon. My decision is gonna be hard because as soon as i got the idea that i wanted to join. everyone that i know is telling me not to. Does anyone have any info on the infantry aspect of the Marines?What to expect? How can I know if thats what i really wanna do? If that makes any sense!!
2.) is there any way of changing Mos's?
3.) how long are the deployments?
4.) can i really choose where to be stationed? I live about 6 hours from san diego. how hard would it be to get stationed there?
5.) I have a 5 month old son. What job would beneifit us the most?
6.)I have heard that infantry is not good if i want to attend college. Is that correct?
I know ur wondering why i haven't gotten these questioned answered by my recruiter. and i have partially. And he is doing his job. No complaints there. But just want a few other sorces.
Have more questions but they can wait
Thank You
