Mp Mos 5811

[Afle9095]

I am wanting to join the Marines to be a MP and was wondering if me being red/green color blind will disqualify me. I have spoken with my recruiter and he will never give me a clear answer, he just wants me to go down to Meps. This has me thinking once I get down there they will try and change my mind of a MOS since I am color blind. Anyone know?

that fact that he wont give you a clear answer might tell you that it could very well disqualify you. If I were you I would not get my hopes up, although you might be able to get a waiver.

Even if you go to meps they wont try to convince you on getting an mos...

Atleast here... You go to meps you sign an open contract and then you go to the recruiting office and thats where you pick your mos... While I was at meps No one spoke to me about any MOS'

You must have normal color vision for 5811.

do not sign open contract!!!! that is bad bad bad advice.. you cannot pick your mos after. you WILL be open contract, and get something like boat fule specialist.. where you lug heavy fule hoses arround. or waste management... you have a high possibility of getting exactly what you do NOT want.

[LoCapitano]

Here they make you sign the open contract... And before you leave for boot camp you sign another contract with your mos on it... On the second contract it states that any other previous contracts are now voided...

[cgkades]

that's scarry. they dont do that here, or in most places. i wouldnt sign anything that says open contract, if you dont find a MOS then you are stuck with open. bad

[LoCapitano]

Yeah I didnt like signing the open contract either... But every other poolee here told me thats how it was, And in meps the Marine that spoke to me clearly stated that it was not there job to find me an MOS but my recruiters job and that i would handle that after Meps at the recruiting office....

[Lithium]

Open contract...you may have just made a big mistake....Good luck and I hope you didnt.

[KMichael]

get a straight answer before you sign anycontracts or anything... and DO NOT go open conract... then they'll just stick you where ever they want you...

[LoCapitano]

I can guarentee you I will Not go to boot camp open contract! I will have a contract clearly stateing what MOS i am getting before i go...

[Rock_The_MC]

Afle9095, bro.. I am in the same EXACT situation as you. It's insane. I want no other MOS but 5811.

It sucks.

[Afle9095]

Yah it sucks but oh well. I wanted Mp or Force Recon but both involves normal color vision.

You guys are crazy if you sign a open-contact. You will be assign to infantryman if you do something like that.

[LoCapitano]

Infantry is my Second choice after MP so if i get that, I wouldnt really mind...
