Piggy-backing off what USMC2571 said, put yourself in the best situation least likely to get screwed. I would personally talk with the USMC recruiter first, tell him exactly what you said here (about...

If you can pass your IST, relax. The IST's scores are set at what they are for a reason, the minimum physical standards to begin training. Yes, they're the minimum and you should always strive for...

I haven't been enough places myself to give you a "for-sure" answer, and I'm betting not every command does it the exact same. However, the way I've seen it work is that upon arrival on station you...

As far as graduating first, you'll likely just have to deal with it. Since you say you began the process, you should be familiar with that you as a male fall into one of two categories, high school...

Just to elaborate a bit more and perhaps give some insight having recently been through the pipeline.. bear in mind things are always and rapidly changing.

The 2600 field as it stands now, you...

He told you to pick three MOS's and you say you chose three within the 0200 field? Maybe something is getting lost in translation here in which case I'm getting confused, but my problem with that is...

Couple quick things before I answer your question.

1) Not sure if you're assuming, or your recruiter actually told you you could be an 0231 for sure, but you won't know that until third phase of...

As it stands currently, knowing languages prior to enlisting will not influence your MOS. The only thing that will do that is your ASVAB and DLAB scores. While many do consider the DLAB...

Not to discredit what the Sergeant said, as he is correct that 0200 and 2600 focus on different types of intel. However, to answer your question a little more specifically James, regarding signing...

newskate9, I'm actually currently here in TSOC at Goodfellow myself for about 12 more days. Your son, coming out of DLI, is actually taking two courses here. One is his "language block," where he is...

Did you sign specifically for "Intel Specialist" or did you sign DD? I'm willing to bet more than likely you signed DD which has several options. Don't get too tied up thinking you'll automatically...

The security clearance will be required for any Intel job within the Marine Corps, obviously. Now, you do NOT have to pass the DLAB for the DD contract, you only HAVE to pass for a DC, however you do...

You simply go to MEPS and DEP. Unless you're a reservist, there will be no job guarantees in your contract at that time whatsoever. After you finish at MEPS and have a ship date, you will go back to...

I realized after I posted that HL was probably linguist with the bonus, but when I tried to edit the 5 minute limit had already passed..

DC is indeed linguist. Obviously you don't get to choose a...

First things first, linguist contract is DC, not HL. Just pointing that out so you make sure to pay attention to what you're signing and don't get screwed. Second, you'll sign a DD code now to get...

Edit because I hadn't noticed you said you figured it out. Best of luck at recruit training.

93 on the ASVAB.
122 on the DLAB.
DD contract (Intelligence)

My story was/is similar to yours. I DEPed on June 3rd, with a 93 on my ASVAB. I ship January 23rd. When I got back to my recruiting office and was selecting my top three job options, I put Intel and...
