Hello Marines!
I was talking to a good friend of mine who is stationed at Cherry Point, and we were talking about career paths in the Marines. The topic of going the long route of Enlisted to Warrant Officer to Officer came up, and I became very interested.
I did some research and talked to my recruiter about it, and he mentioned something about a BOOST program. I didn't find much about it, and what I did find was very vague. My question is, has anyone here gone through this or know of someone who has? What are the benefits of being a Warrant Officer over Enlisted?
It's something I'm very interested in, yet can't really find the exact information I'm looking for regarding it. Granted, I have yet to go to boot camp, but the reason for that is I'm waiting for an Active Duty slot to open up in the MOS I want (6113) since if I had chosen 03xx, I would've shipped out back in January.
Also, I was recommended to take up Intel for an MOS since I scored so high on my ASVAB, and my recruiter told me to take an 03xx slot since I do so good on my IST every week in the poolee program. But I'm dead set on making a career out of being a mechanic or doing the Warrant Officer program.
Anyways, enough rambling. Is there any info you can share about the Warrant Officer or BOOST programs? It would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Marines!
