Those are very good points indeed sirs, but I guess I'm just going to have to do some soul searching and figure it out for myself. Thank you all very much.

I understand what you are saying sir. I'm really not looking for sympathy just some guidance.

I have been told before to not ship until I get a contract but at this point I am in a position where...

I am about 3 and a half months away from shipping to boot camp and I have a big problem, my recruiter told me today that he has no more contracts for me to sign, like none, at all. He says that all I...

This thread may be aged but I still think its a good one. I personally would like to go Infantry but there are no slots for it in the near future. I think it sucks that 5 poolees sign Infantry...

You're probably right sir but therein lies the problem, I will need to wait until I'm 18 to get my license. But I'll check again just to make sure. Thank you all for your time and the replies.

Hello Marines, I am currently trying to sign a contract but have run into a snag: I dont have a Drivers license. Now my recruiter told me that he could get me a comms contract to sign, well I was...

when I went to my first workout I could only do 1 real pull up, about 55 sit ups, and around a 15:50 run. Now I can do 9 palm out pull ups, 81 sit ups, and my 1.5 is around 12:00 to 12:30, (depending...

It doesnt seem to me like SIGINT will be on the front lines much. Most from what I've found is that its a lot of sitting in the rear with the gear monitoring comms. But hell I'm just a dirty poolee...

Thank you for the info Marines. I am planning on signing a combat support contract and that consists of Arty, tanks, AAVs and anti air gunners. I was told by my recruiter that I sign the contract and...

So here's my question: When the officers, or whoever, is choosing what job you go into they look where they need people and then they look at your asvab scores to see where you can go, correct? Well...

Another quick question: How difficult is it to lat move inside of the same field? Such as 0231 to 0261. Or vice versa in other MOS'.

I am sure that I will get intel. I just think its a good idea to look at my alternatives first.

One of my top choices for contracts was Combat support. I was told that I will be supporting the infantry. If I dont get my first choice ,(intel) then I will be -hopefully- signing a combat support...

everything that I put down on my jobs list are jobs that I would enjoy in the Marine corps. That being said I never really thought about lat moving half way through my enlistment, I was just told...

What MOS did you lat move to? If you dont mind me asking that is.

Well the MOS' that I put down are all things I want to do, but my recruiter told me that my first choice (intel) might be filled. So I was wondering how hard it would be to lat move after either 2...

I've been told multiple times by my recruiter about how If I dont like my MOS then I can lat move after 2 years. My question is: How easy is it to lat move? Is it nearly impossible or can it be done...

The reason I'm asking is because I would like to at least slip in one deployment to afghanistan while we're still there. I know that as a 02XX I will most likely be behind a desk for the whole...

We should just let the South off the leash we put on em and let them have a field day.

I'm going in pfc because I have 3 years of JROTC. Better than getting E1 pay in boot!!!:)

I think I didnt make myself clear. My mistake. When I was referring to "7 out 7 in" I was referring to tours in country. 7 months in the 'stan and 7 months state side. Also, does every FOB have intel...

Alright, I have a few questions and a search didn't turn much up. So here goes:

1. As an Intelligence Analyst what is your deployment schedule like? Is it 7 out and 7 in or does it vary?

2. Can...

Every Wednesday at the recruiters. Mon-Fri individual PT.

I think i'll be able to manage. But this whole thing is still 5 years away so I have time to think about it. :cool:
