Conversation Between dizark and blumpkin

I was assigned the job, as you will be too. You have no say really as it's the needs of the Marine Corps. Right now I don't do much as we're preparing to gear up for Afghanistan, but when you're overseas, you'll man a radio if you're with the grunts and their radio operator, or do radio watch at the COC located in the FOB. I am stationed in Kaneohe Bay HI

Hello Lance Corporal, I am a poolee leaving for boot camp in 4 days. I have the same MOS as you, command and control electrician. I would also like to be a field radio operator and I was wondering if you could answer a few questions. Did you get to choose to be a field radio operator or did they assign it to you? What specifically do you do and where are you stationed at?
