Good Evening everyone,
I've been in the Corps for a little over 4 years and it has come to the time that many look forward too at different perspectives.....reenlistment. I've already made up my mind that I will reenlist if approved, but I just can't make up my mind on whether I want to stay in my current MOS. (6074) Cryogenic Equipment Operator, or lat move into something that I will hopefully enjoy better.
The problem is that I am good at my job, but I just don't like it. It was ok and just ok until I deployed as an IA on a PTT to Iraq. There I got a good taste of the ground side and really enjoyed it. It was tough as hell at times but I really enjoyed it.
If I was single I don't think that I would have any doubt about lat moving but since I'm married and have two step children I'm really wanting to do what's best for me and my family.
What I really want to know is what's everyone's opinion on how this will eventually affect my selection for Staff Sgt. Now I know that I'm only a Cpl now but I'm always trying to plan ahead and make the best possible decision.
Thanks in advance for all your input and have a motivated weekend. Semper Fi
