ASVAB Scores & MOS (Poolee directed)

[OVonRomer]

ASVAB: 87
GT: 120+

Contract: Reserves - Bulk Fuel Specialist
Ship Date: October 11th, 2011

The contract isn't very important just as long as I am part of the Marine Corps that's all that matters.

Plus I am going Reserves with the intent of applying to PLC - Air while I finish college so I am just looking for a little bit of the enlisted experience and could care less what job I do.

Can you explain a bit about what the MOS of Bulk Fuel Specialist does?

[PNW2011]

Gas pump attendant with an M4 would be my guess.

The funny thing about when I took the ASVAB my sophomore year of high school is that it was on paper, and I put down the wrong test book number. So, I received a 3. They were really skeptical when I took the test at MEPS and had a score of 89, GT over 120 and pretty nice line scores.

Either way, I plan on doing Infantry to get to 0321. But my end result is 0317, and if by some chance I can't make 0321, I can still get the Scout Sniper slot.

Make sure you get it in writing... UZ contract is the only way for a shot at BRC

How would I go about doing this, since MEPS is all over with?

[PNW2011]

Your recruiter didn't give you a job?

You sign an SOU at the RSS level, you'll see the contract the next time you go to MEPS before you ship.

[TheOtherGuy]

Oh, I didn't pick 0321 or 0317. I'm pretty sure my first choice was 03XX. Should I get them changed to specific things, or would that even matter since I haven't shipped out yet.

[PNW2011]

Well, if don't know what your jerb is right now, then you don't have one yet...

Do you even know what an SOU is? If you aren't following a word I'm saying you may need to have a word with your recruiter..

[TheOtherGuy]

Well I was sat down after MEPS to pick out three choices from a list in an information booklet. Most of them just listed the difference between the 03XX, 04XX, 05XX, etc. I chose Infantry, Artillery, and EOD. And I signed the Statement of Understanding before I even went to MEPS. My recruiter said I had until my ship date to change my MOS choices.

[PNW2011]

Well.. what the **** did you sign then?

You're telling me you signed a job contract and you don't even know what job it was?

Oh lawdy..

Scored 91, looking for a MOS.

Scored a 64

I've always felt average at best except with mechanics.
Been working on motorcycles and all my own vehicles all my life.

I Cant remember what my MM score was but I think it was really good because I originally wanted MOS 3521 Motor T mechanic. And When I said that to my recruiter he replied "God damn that would be a waste of your talent", He showed me a few other jobs dealing with mechanic's that I had never heard of and I ended up choosing MOS 1341 Engineer Equipment Mechanic.

Sounds like a good job to me but I'm having a hell of a time finding any info on what its really like. I would like to hear from anyone with info on this MOS.

[JVerdree]

I scored a 73. Going into 02xx

[PNW2011]

Yeah good luck with that by the way... You may have to slay the lava monster with an NCO sword then scale a huge rock in the middle of the desert with no climbing gear to nail that job..
