Hello MARINES
My son is joining the CORPS and I have to be honest that this not only caught me by surprise but it is his MOS of choice (02 Intelligence) that brings me here to ask all of you a few questions.
I know nothing about this MOS where do they train what are his chances of maintaining this MOS if he passes his initial training. Where do the most Marines with this MOS end up stationed? How are the promotions in this field and what advise do others in the Intelligence MOS have for him.
I was in and out after four years, politicians froze the military's funding so I was passed over twice for promotions it was the seventy's. I always say the Marine Corps is perfect it's just the people in it that screw (insert your adjective) it up. I also have what some would call a black mark on my enlistment as I enlisted for aviation maintenance and worked on airplanes and helicopters. Yes that's right I am a winger always have been and always will you see I still work on airplanes today. My enlistment ended almost thirty years ago but this is not about me.
Those of you who know about this MOS can help my son please post your thoughts and any information you are willing to share. My son has already taken the ASVAB and scored a 99 and passed the physical the recruiter (liar as we called them) said he can choose anything he wants. Say what you want about me but good advise for my son would be greatly appreciated.
