Guaranteed MOS???
Some people have told me the USMC, doesn't guarantee the MOS you want, but put you where they need you. I've also heard that they can guarantee the field you want just not the particular MOS. Is this true?
I want to get 0311, but if that wasn't guaranteed would I still get a MOS under 03xx?? Either way the USMC is what I want to be apart of one day and I'll go wherever they would need me, but just wanted to know how it really works as far as getting the MOS you want.

I think I can answer this, somewhat...(big emphasis on "think".
Send a private message to two knowledgeable and helpful Marines here. They usually stop by in this section, but PM them in case they miss it. I know they'll have the latest info munkyvsrobot and josephd
I'm under the impression that the overriding factor is "the needs of the Corps" (as it was in my era).
But the Corps can guarantee the MOS field but not the specific job.

The only thing you are guaranteed as active duty is the oppertunity to become a Marine and an occupational field. as a reservist you are guaranteed an MOS assuming you pass recruit training and your MOS school. everythign else is needs of the Marine Corps. This question is asked on almost a daily basis.

futurerec17, look, the first time you have leverage over the service is when you are enlisting... so, if you want 0311, then enlist for 0311 and don't ship until you get it. period. if you want in before that then enlist into something that sounds remotely interesting and latmove at your earliest opportunity. done.
take what you read here and on any forum with a grain of salt... and, there are waivers for everything, remember that.
