I did, though I only made Corporal. Thankfully, the score for my new MOS (7257) is much better than Admin and I should be picking up Sergeant by next summer.

Per the Uniform Board:



So I guess we just wait. And wait.

I actually voted during bootcamp last election. It was a hassle, had to go to the county voting office before I left to explain the situation, but it was awesome. Most likely the funniest moment of...

I don't want to brush anyone's fur the wrong direction, but everyone I know refers to getting promoted as "picking up". Maybe it's a regional thing, but even I say "I just picked up Corporal" even...

Obviously it depends on exactly what MOS you get, where you're stationed, who you're attached to, etc.

Example: You get 0651. Bootcamp, MCT, 29 Palms for school. You could be assigned to work...

Delayed cadence, delayed cadence,
Marine Corps cadence count! OH!
1! Can't hear you
2! Little louder
3! Motivation
4! Dedication
1, 2, 3, 4
1234 United States Marine Corps!

Most people don't even look at their LES, let alone try to figure out what everything is. Good for you for making sure it was a legit deduction!

Friendly neighborhood Admin Marine at your service!

Do you just need an explanation of each line or do you need a digitally enhanced image?

I remember my DIs going over the list at one point (more like, "Aww crap, you're in my MOS?!") and then during MCT most people found out.

Honestly, with the official word that we're going down to 182K, the odds are he'll be medically separated if found "unfit for duty". It's a long road though. I'm not sure how much it matters that...

It's entirely possible to get an RE-4 and an Honorable discharge. I've seen a couple. The Marines fell into two categories: Either they got into trouble but really were loved by their command (hence...

Stay in, use TA, get your retirement check. Then get out and use your GI Bill if you want to. That's 2x the money earned.

What I showed you is considered the MOS portion of a contract. The one that is bio-metrically signed is the 3 (or 4) page document that is actually your agreement to serve a specific number of years...

Look closer.

^^ This. I just did an adsep on a Marine who couldn't handle his finances. This is a situation that needs to be nipped in the bud NOW before he ruins his career. Time to man up and take control of...

The downside to Japan is he'll make loads of money and unless he's careful, she'll spend it all.

Or he will.

Read the contract. It will state which MOSs are included in that catagory.

It could be that I'm not reading this thread correctly and have the timeline wrong, but I see a couple issues with Nick and Bride's plans.

1. His school is not rated for dependents. Which means...

Because I have no one else to appreciate the awesomeness of this moment.

My EAS wasn't until September. I'm at the very end of the fiscal year thankfully.

The earliest they're officially releasing people at Quantico is 90 days, though I saw a couple last month that were more like 120. We're getting slammed with all the people getting out. And adseps,...

I just got the word that I was finally approved for reenlistment. I'm having to do a latmove into 7257 (Air Traffic Control), and I had to drive 6 hours to Cherry Point to get paperwork saying I was...

It's not that I'm arguing that, but I find it almost impossible to believe we're not slowly getting rid of Marines. My MOS accepted less than 20% of the people that applied for reenlistment this...

I had a buddy that went from 0311 to 0111 due to a broken back, but he had already completed several years as a grunt.

I am admin, and work at the IPAC, and everything Pylon said is right on the money. :thumbup:

Make sure you're checking your LES 2x a month once you have the ability. I've seen too many Marines who...
