Ever other recruit is being paid who was determined to be "erroneous" though.

Hello everyone,

I got to Parris Island on 20140722 and I was discharged ("entry level separation") and was given an "erroneous enlistment" because I had a cyst on my jaw bone that nobody knew...

Marines,

I ship out to Recruit Training really soon (MCRD Parris Island), and I was wondering if you were required to take the "peanut butter shot?" The reason why I'm curious, is because a buddy...

Chin-ups are easier, IMHO.

Hello everyone,

Initially, I ONLY wanted infantry and I would refuse to do anything but that. After waiting and waiting and guess what...waiting some more (lol), I gave up & signed a...

I talked with my recruiter last night, and he said the Master Sergeant who assigns the programs, had some health problems & just recently got back. Thanks again everyone. I'll keep updating on this...

I went to the main recruiting station yesterday and my recruiter told me they just got some kid's contract who enlisted in November. I enlisted October 11th and I still do not have mine yet. But they...

If you get two people to enlisted alongside, you'll get PFC. I PM'd you stating how I got my friends to enlist. Pass out business cards to everyone you know.

Absolutely. Okay, well I have to stop in to my recruiters office today & I'll ask him about it. Thank you, once again.

I'll keep everyone updated on this thread.

Thanks a lot, Corporal. We talk 3-4 times per week and I make it clear every time that I want the infantry contract, really bad. I asked the SNOIC, whom is a Gunnery Sergeant & he stated to me that...

20140721, but it may change because I'm suppose to ship with some of my buddies. My friend got his contract in like 53 days and it has been a little over 40 for me.

I've been enlisted for about 40 days and still DO NOT have my infantry MOS. Should I be concerned?

Thanks everyone. I'll keep you all updated.


Absolutely. But I shouldn't have to considering the fiscal year just started a month ago.

So I enlisted a few weeks ago (on the 11th of October, I believe). Well, I enlisted under an Open/Poolee contract, and was told the entire time that I would choose my MOS with my recruiter and the...

He should already know his ship date. I don't have an MOS (I enlisted Friday), although I got my ship date on my DEP contract at MEPS. It's easy to miss as it's in a YYYYMMDD format. Check towards...

ASVAB: 42

MOS submitted was 03XX -- waiting for approval.

I have been cleared to go to MEPS this Thursday & Friday - Thursday for my ASVAB, and Friday for my physical & swearing-in. I gave my first, second and third MOS choices to my recruiter, which he...

Thanks everyone. Okay, so a buddy of mine just enlisted, but didn't receive his MOS field at MEPS itself. He instead, waited about a week, and picked three MOS fields with the recruiter - he got his...

Okay, thanks! The recruiter calls him "Gunny" but I wouldn't say that. I feel as if it may be disrespectful consideirg I'm not fully enlisted yet.

Would it be faster if I enlisted before or after the end of the fiscal year? Don't all the new slots open October 1st?

My recruiter told me that he wanted me to enlist by the end of September (the end of the fiscal year) -- why is that? I want to get my infantry MOS, so is that more likely before the end of the...

I haven't fully enlisted yet, but a few of my friends who are enlisting within the next few weeks, are suppose to be going to the DEP functions every Saturday. My recruiter wants me to study for the...

My recruiter had instructed me to think of a list of 3 different MOS' that I am interested in & to let him know what I liked. I told him I wanted infantry, although he said that would be hard to get,...
