What infantry MOS did you want? I'm a mortarman (0341). There are many things I could say, like you have a lot of heavy gear which you carry and hump around, the hours are longer, things like that. The truth is, I think it's a rewarding job. And sometimes, it's even fun. The thing is, no matter what job you get, there will be times you absolutely hate it, and then there will be times where you thank God that you are in the job that you are in.

Rk you can join the Corps with a score less than 80 on the asfab. I scored less than 80 not going to be to specific and got a decent Mos. My youngest brother also scored less than 80 and he is eligble to be an Mp. I think they base a lot of it on other scores like GT and math etc...

The ASVAB subtests for determining the composites are: General Science (GS), Arithmetic Reasoning (AR), Word Knowledge (WK), Paragraph Comprehension (PC), Numerical Operations (NO), Coding Speed (CS), Auto and Shop Information (AS), Mathematics Knowledge (MK), Mechanical Comprehension (MC), Electronics Information (EI), and Sum of Word Knowledge and Paragraph Comprehension, scaled (VE).
Current aptitude area composites used for MOS selection for the Marine Corps are as follows:
CL- Clerical, Administrative, Supply & Finance - NO + CS + VE (Note: CL Score was eliminated in late 2002. All job Marine Corps requirements that required a CL score were changed to GT Score at this time. The score requirements are the same. In other words, if a job previously required a CL score of 90, then it was changed to require a GT score of 90).
EL -Electronics Repair, Missile Repair, Electronics and Communications -GS+AR+MK+EI
MM - Mechanical Maintenance, Construction, Utility and Chemical Maintenance (hazmat) - GS+AS+MK+MC
GT - General Technical, Special and Officer Programs - VE+AR

The field Marines are great I was one, also a Postal Clerk, it was great too. all jobs are good just remember what you put into them is what you get out of them.

I was lucky - I pretty much played multiple guess with the mechanical parts of it and did better in Electronics - HAHAHAHAH! - I didn't know squat about electronics. They let me build bombs and work on bomb racks for 4 years!
Only in the Marine Corps................

"Front Toward Enemy", sounds simple enough. Does that make me an EOD expert?
