I have been to MOS school with people who didn't have a drivers liscence. My MOS consists of driving tucks. So I don't see why you would need one to join a comm field.

Here is my recommendation. Do not join a MOS just because it is hopfully a "just for now" type deal. Join with an MOS that might interest you. Even if you hope to lat move. Nothing is a guarantee in...

As far as college benifits. I don't think there are any until you are a veteran, or have a certian amount of active time. As for the not being on combat deployments. There are MEU's and whatnot, but...

Depending on how long the wait list is. We had Marines waiting to be picked up for about 4-6 months. Meaning, they sat around and didn't start training until there class picked up.. So don't count...

Ask your recruiter more on the 92 day reservist thing. Like mentioned you go to bootcamp, mos school, and mct, each summer off. If your lucky depending on your MOS, you might get to go to mos school...
