Another "Which MOS"..thread.
First off, sorry in advance. I know that there are thousands of these threads out there (seeing as I've already gone through 20 pages) but I'm in a bind and am looking for any advice I can get.
Since January I have been in the DEP for Intel, I was good to go.
A week or two ago our new NCO lets me know that that I can no longer hold the DD contract because my family are dual citizens (USA & Canada) and I will not be able to obtain a top-secret scii clearance. Oh well, water under the bridge I suppose..
Anyways. I am COMPLETELY lost. I was trying to figure out what MOS I was going to go into before I enlisted and this was the one that most peaked my interest..it still is, but I digress.
I have no idea what I truly want to do for the next 4-5 years of my life. I have ruled out:
- Admin & Legal services
- Most Infantry/"Frontline" Mos'
- Any type of Linguist (Failed the DLAB by 2% lol)
- Financial & Food services
These for the most part do not interest me, call me what you want, but infantry is not for me.
What I am interested in:
- Logistics
- AG Contract - Crew chief/flight crew
- Swinging in the wing :cool:
- MP
- *Possibly* Supply
- CBRN
If I could take a guess at what I wanted to do with my life, it would be something in the Federal sector..but I know that my future aspirations will surely change with time. For all I know I'll spend my life in the Corps.
What I'm looking for in my MOS:
- Something that will challenge/occupy my mind
- Something that might translate into the civilian world
- Something that will give me the opportunity to be stationed in various locations
- Something that will give me my fair share of hard ship and troubles.
- An opportunity to have some fun during my enlistment
If anyone get provide me with some experiences, knowledge, or general advice in how to narrow these down..I would be very appreciative. I know that everyone's enlistment is different, but your experience can at least give me a rough outline of what I could come to expect from that MOS.
Thanks you very much in advance Marines, your helping this wanna-be out A LOT. :thumbup:
