That isn't to say he can't get in. Talk with a recruiter and see if they offer a waiver for that (they do for just about everything).

Wishful thinking most likely, or the recruiter hasn't explained to him how the MOS selection actually works.

I do not believe there is a contract that has the 65XX field by itself (I believe only...

My family is very supportive. Mom of course worries, sisters always knew I'd join. My friends are supportive and jealous (Married etc, so they can't join because their wife says so). The former...

For the past 8 or so years I've cut my hair 0 on sides 2-4 on top (before that it was 1-2 on sides and 2" on top). I hate long hair, 2-3 inches is pushing my limit.

Before I could join the...

You just proved everything they said true.

When my dad was a recruiter (Stockton CA - Armpit of the world he calls it). He had a mom drop off her son and said "He's yours now" and left him and never came back. He was 18, and dropped on his...

You do that daily already...

6 Pull Ups

~60-70 Crunches/2 Min

~13:00 1.5 Mile

Is about where I'm at currently; 'tis what I get for not working out/exercising in ~8 years and having a desk job. Pull ups will be the...

There's always hope. If it's what you really want to do, go for it. People from all types of backgrounds, including those similar to yours, have made it through Boot Camp and became Marines.

I'm...

I'm not bragging, nor do I think I'm the first one to experience anything. I posted my situation in a thread regarded to MOS and Ship Dates. Simple as that. And I don't think having Marines in my...

Fiscal Year 2010

Thanks for saying that. I'm pretty sure he'll have how important as an individual and how much the USMC cares about how special he is explained to him soon enough.[/QUOTE]

Conceited? No. Special?...

Haven't chosen an MOS yet, basically can choose whichever one I want and get it.
Infantry, Intel, MP, Communications are some I'm looking at.

Recruiter here tells me the only thing open is Cook. Could always choose that if you want in right away.

If MEPS has all the information it's already in your file. So the DI's and everyone else will already have that information available.

As long as you weren't dishonest you're in good shape. If you...

You should provide that information at MEPS, before thinking about Boot Camp. It'll either be no big deal, require a waiver, or be disqualifying based on the circumstances. Being recent will make a...

Some of the other Armed Forces allow you to use an existing account to set up direct deposit. But with the USMC (as far as I've seen) you set up a new account when you get there, so yes your GF won't...

Don't believe I've seen one for FY10 posted yet is why I didn't post it.



Very true, all I can say is what the Gunny at MEPS told me: that the Corps was looking to get to 202,000 Marines by...

Liberals have been taking over the schools for the last few decades.

Not knowing the rest of the faculty or administrators and what their views are; you'll probably just have to roll with it until...

I'll take all 80, though that would put me at the upper limit so no more! haha

Keep at it, you're doing good.

I'll take that 50 from you, I could use it!

Good job, and keep going after your goals.

That actually hasn't been the case for at least a few years, or so I've read/heard on this forum and others. Something about a MARADMIN taking precedent over some other regulation? Which states there...

Completed MEPS yesterday and am no officially in the DEP with a ship date of 20091026. Current contract is open enlistment since they do not have the job list for the next fiscal year. Once they get...

Going to the hotel tonight and MEPS bright and early in the morning. After which (if all goes well) and depending on the time (have an interview about 50 miles away @ 1600) I'll sit down the with...

Been trying to look up the EOD, saw some posts stating something about you can't sign up for that MOS? You have to move into it at a later date?

If that is true, what MOS would be best to go in...
