MOS-Combat Support?(CE)? help please
:!:Hey guys Iam recruit Hubbard and i have worked very hard to get into the DEP for the Corps as it is i had a very serious Moral waiver and have had to prove myself many times to a Major in the 6th marine recruiting district and to a Ssgt(my recruiter)
But iam finially in and I could never be happier!
Iam leaving to MCRD Parris Island on aug 18th very soon with a larg group of buddies (6 total) in joint buddie contracts.
I origionally was going to go Open Contract because of the limit of jobs my waiver allows me to qual. for but my SSsgt got me a spot for Combat Support (CE)from what i understand its called Combat eng.
I really want to be out in the fleet and be a grunt and he said inf. was all full and this is the closest thing to it and your a tad bit safer..more like a 2nd line of def.
BUT its called combat eng?
i dont want to build stuff and be a construction worker i have done that and i didnt have a great time(dry wall and brick mas)
I thought Combat Support (CE) would be more like using havey machine guns, artillery, demo, tanks and such...ive read a little of what i can find can someone from this MOS please explain to me what Iam getting into?
This is what i think i want out of (CE) can someone explain?
Division Combat Engineer
Thank you!
