Leaving 2008 09 08
AG Contract "Aircrew/Flight Mechanic/Navigator"
It encompasses 6100, 6200 and 7300.
I'm really hoping for an MOS in 7300 because that was my first choice but my recruiter was showing me this was the only contract to get that, and it was the last spot available.

If you're going in as E-2 without the degree, then I gather you've already gotten 2 referrals? You won't get E-3 straight out of Boot (to my knowledge) unless you're the company honor grad, and you certainly won't get E-4 (Corporal) straight out of Boot. But Marine is Marine, so you should be perfectly happy with that E-2!

you dont need a four year degree buddy you only need 15 college credits and that will set you up ass a pfc outta boot and then if you graduate company honorman you can actually get Lcpl. but it will be a tough job to get company honorman work hard and nothing is unreachable bro ya digg

Maybe in the Army, but not in the Marine Corps. You have to EARN the privilege to lead Marines by showing your leadership skills in the fleet.
As to answer your question about how it works is, out of boot you have the rank of Pvt. However, if you can prove yourself as a competent recruit (and probably have guide, scribe, squad leader, etc.) you might be able to pick up PFC, but again, you have to earn it. If you're really good, as in best in the entire company, not just your platoon, you can pick up LCpl.
You can also guarantee yourself a promotion to PFC out of boot camp by several options, such as two referrals, Eagle Scout, 15 college hours, JROTC, etc. Go talk to your recruiter to figure out your options. Not saying that I agree with all the methods to guarantee yourself the rank of PFC, but why pass up the opportunity if it's available to you? Get out there and make it happen.

You can graduate boot camp as an E-3 if you are an honor guard, no other way to my knowledge. How you get your E-2 depends on your recruiter. Sometimes you can get it from leaving early.
But back to what this started at
