Thank you sir, I am still learning!

Well SSgt told me VLE is Cherry Point, NC and I am going to be in the 467th! Hoorah!

Did anyone ever get the answer to where VLE is? It does not seem to be anywhere on the internet. I will talk to someone later.

I have finally contracted and wound up with 60XX aircraft maintenance.

Cool, I am still open contract but I am meeting with my Recruiter sometime soon to get it all squared away. So big plans for your last summer of freedom (besides running and working out like a...

I agree that the bonus should not be the reason. The hard part for me is that I have no clue what I want to do. There is stuff I know I don't want to do that is about as far as it goes. I am...

This is an excellent website - Thank you all who replied. I still found no height restrictions listed except for pilots. I did talk to my recruiter and he mentioned getting a list of all available...

Which MOS's have height restrictions? I have searched and have only found issues with being a jet pilot. Any knowledge on this would be great as I begin to narrow my focus start setting my sights...

I was told that I could not work on the flight deck at my height. I was actually told that at MEPS. I had put my top three down before I left and they said my line score were fine for everything but...

I am going in August 8th as well. MCRD PI - I believe that we will be in 2nd Battalion, Hotel Company. Graduation of Nov 4th if my math is correct. Good luck. I see above that you got air crew -...

Listening to you guys makes me feel like am way behind. I am in my senior year and run track but as a sprinter, long jump and hurdler. I have made it to the Ohio state regional level the last two...

Thank you sir. That is what I am talking about. Be smart but not too smart, got it. I won't be the sharpest tool in the shed but not the dullest either. I am who I am and I will have a hard time...

I completely understand your point. I have no desire to be mediocre. I am memorizing my materials and working toward a 300 pft (right now about 260). The responses here about guides is a bit of a...

I maybe should start a new thread but my question is how do you fly under the radar? What is the best way to get through PI with out being on either end of someone's list?

Sir, Thank you for a post like this. I leave for PI August 8th and my brother is set on being a Marine as well. He is under the impression that he can give up now on school and hard work since he...

Thanks to the Marines who have replied. I want to be a Marine so the specific job is secondary. I will make the most of what I end up with. It doesn't serve me or any one else to complain anyway. ...

I can't say anything but to tell you see what is out there on the internet. I didn't and I believe that I could have done much better if I had researched some.

I spoke with my recruiter yesterday. He said that if nothing opens up by 30 days out we will need to sit down and go over the open jobs list and fill out my contract. He said my line scores were...

I did some more research this morning and found some forums where some great advice was given. I apologize for starting a new thread without spending more time in research. The trouble is the...

I know you must have an MOS before you start boot camp - So what happens if what you want does not open up?

I see so many places where the 'open contract' is regarded as the worst thing a DEP-Poolee can do. I had a 68 on my ASVAB and turned in my 3 MOS choices - none were available. So I am waiting but...

I guess many of us were. I read on another site that 75% of all dep enlistees are open. I have no idea what will happen now and I am sort of concerned. My big question is what happens if I don't...

68 ASVAB - open contract - intelligence is first choice but not open - trying to get it from another recruiter. Hope and pray. August 8th Parris Island!!!

Thank you sir. I was told at a pool function yesterday that I may yet get the NROTC Marine Option Scholarship. Either way I am ready to earn the title of US Marine.

I do have another question: My ASVAB is 68 and needs to be higher. Do you know if I can retake it before I ship? My ACT is 49 so I do have a qualifying score. Again I appreciate the help, sir.
