Field Radio Operator or Mortarman?
Good evening Marines,
My name is Nate and I'm a Poolee in Los Angeles and right now I just need overall clarity as I make some MOS decisions. I'm stuck between FRO and Mortarman in Infantry. I know that in SOI/ITB I don't have a choice but I hear that Rifleman gets full so they will take volunteers for other MOSs. If I'm wrong please correct or guide me in the right direction.
So, I'm just asking from Marines who are Field Radio Operators or Mortarman or Marines who have worked with these Marines to please give me some clarity, experiences, and pros and cons of these MOSs. I don't mind being outside the wire or seeing combat. I have done my research on these MOSs so no need to explain what they do. I just need something that could help me get my head in the right direction so I can make a decision on what to choose.
Thank you Marines.
