  1. I would LOVE to get a crack at IOC. SAWIC is another I'd be highly interested in. At this point though, I have to find out what's going on with my unit. I just reenlisted on 17 October, and this weekend will be my first drill (annual training, PFT, Birthday Ball). But they haven't returned my call about checking in, so I'm kind of in limbo at the moment.

    But the Capt I interviewed with did mention the opportunity for schools to me. In fact, we have about a year until we deploy, and he said I could very possibly spend almost all of that time attending schools. He said we get the quotas; it's sometimes the qualified Marines that we lack. So yeah, if we could hook something up with IOC I'd be very happy.

    Like I said, hopefully I get the ball rolling soon...as I'm sure you're more than aware, a year isn't a whole lot of time, and that's not every single day with the Marines either.

    If you are infantry why not shoot for IOC. If you know somebody that knows somebody you can get a quota there. You could also try for HRP, SAWIC, Breachers. There are quite a few schools at Quantico and the ones west of 95 are some pretty high speed stuff.
