My name is Cpl Lander. Ive been in the Marines for four years and I'm just about two weeks from being done with my second tour in Iraq. Ive come to a crossroads. I can't decide if i want to stay in or not. I know that the decision lies only with me but Im hoping to get some input from others.
I was a 7212 (LAAD GUNNER) for my first two years, the mos was closing out and LAT moves were being offered to first termers so I took it. I chose supply because it was a last minute decision, the Career planner told me if i didnt do it now i would be able to do it, plus my GT was low and I couldn't retake my ASVAB cause I did patrols everyday and they kept rescheduling the test, I should of thought about it more, but me being a dumb LCPL just went for it. Now Ive been in supply the last two years and come to think of it I should of just stayed in LAAD. I retook my ASVAB this April past and got a 112 GT. I wanna go into Comm 0600 field or the Intel 0200 field and go to Pendelton cause I hate Lejeune. Maybe go to Afghan.
I know that Intel has great oppertunities in and outside the Corps. Is there alot of oppertunities to go alot places in either MOS? Whats Intel and Comm school like? Most important what does the fleet hold for a Cpl in either Intel or Comm?
I appreciate your time if anyone can help me. Thank You.
