Reenlistment time. Need sound advice please..
Oohrah Marines,
I'm an active duty CPL contemplating the drill field. My chain of command's career planner doesn't give two 'thought' about my career and it's hard to put my life in someone elses hands, especially when they don't take pride in what they do. He copy and pasted me a package to reenlist in my MOS and have a deferred package, saying i am interested in Drill Duty, until I am promoted to SGT then he says I will go to DI school. But isn't deferring my package screwing me in the end? His reasoning for deferring my package is to keep me at my current duty station until I pick up, then i'll go to DI school, because apparently if I reenlisted to go to another station and staying in my MOS, I would have to have a certain amount of time on my new duty station. How much time would I have to spend at my station until I could go become a Drill Instructor? and what the hell should I do? I've talked to three other career planners, but let's just say where I am stationed, not too many Marines actually give a F. Any advice would be great, even if you're telling me to quit my 'whining'.
Semper Fidelis,
-Cpl of Marines.
