And if that doesn't do it for you come back and I'll give you who to speak to on this site.
Good Luck.
Ok that clears up what they do. Thanks.
One more question about that MOS, How often are they deployed to Afganistan or to war? Not that it matters, I'm just curious.

Your posts are time stamped in the top left corner.
Another Marine will be by to answer your question.
Yes I read them both, but the second site answered my second question. Thanks for your help!

How about filling out ALL of your profile so the Marines who are going to answer your questions know who they are talking to. :thumbup:

I spent 22 years as a Marine. I was in the Logistic field 0441/0491. It was a good field for promotion. This field was always wide open for promotion. Some field you can have a good record and still can not get promoted unitl there was a opening. Ask the recuiter about the promotion in each field they you really look at what you want. Sempher Hi

What jobs are in the Combat Support?
Let's see if I remember this correctly,
Stingers, Arty, Tanks and Tracks
If you pick Combat Support and you have at least a WS-2 swim qual in boot camp you will almost for sure end up in Tracks (AAV's). I wanted Tanks and I got WS-2, ended up with Tracks. Almost everyone I served with wanted Tanks cause no one knew what the hell a AAV was.
Arty is not bad but I can tell you right now with the GWOT going on you will spend most of your time doing Grunt stuff rather then your MOS. Most of the Arty guys are being shipped out to do provisional rifle platoon tasks and PSD's.
I don't mean to knock the LAAD guys with Stingers but let's face it, there hasn't been much of a air threat in the combat zone so that MOS will not see very much MOS related deployments right now, if anything probably the same situation as Arty... PSD/PRP.
Tanks and Tracks are pretty self explainitory, heavy ass vehicles that like to get muddy and blow **** up. I don't mind Tanks, they have a really nice weapon system and things of that nature but being a Tracker myself I have to say that Tracks have it made when it comes to the field, we have our own little mobile homes we can sleep in and stay out of the mud and rain.
