    I went in open contract and ended up in Ordnance but, then again, I wouldn't have gotten 03 anyway cause I'm SUCH a GIRL.

    As far as I know, if you're open contract, it doesn't base whatsoever off your ASVAB, other than making sure you're qualified for what they need. Out of 10 or so open contract recruits in boot camp, every single one of them ended up being finance technicians. Needs of the Marine Corps I suppose, same way everything else works

    I'm not speaking on the behalf of every situation, just that things have changed from 88 when you got out to now. 0311 is the "in crowd", and it is a fast of the shelf quota to get Marines into that OcField. I'm just saying that in the past few years the open contracts have been pushed into Comm, Eng., and other support elements. Recruiting districts have a hard time giving Poolees the 03 quota, because they are few and far between. However i am sure that this is something that has not always been an issue. But it is something that has been occuring over the past few years. Especially after 9/11, everyone was out for blood.
