New Marine Requesting knowledge

[Ryan1234]

Just graduated July 11th Fox Company. I have some questions about MCT. My first one is. Are Cell Phones allowed? I have heard they were and were not and would just like to get the official scoop. Another question i have is my Mos is 3531 Motor vehicle operator. I was 0300 before my recruiter screwed me over. I have heard after two years you can change your MOS is that true or BS.

Anyways thanks Marines.

Cell phones - this has been discussed many times, and as this is a Marine
Forum, and not official, why don't you ask your 1st Sgt?

Recruiter screwed you over? How, make you close your eyes when you signed your contract?

Somehow, and I hope this isn't true, but you sound like the beginnings of a 10%er.

Congratulations! Did you pick up any rank at Boot Camp?

Basically this is what happened. A week before i went to bootcamp my recruiter calls me and tells me i have good and bad news. The good news is he got me a 10,000 bonus. I said thats sweet.The bad news is that Infantry is not available. I said well how is that posssible, I already signed the contract for it. He said it was full. So me being an idiot i said well whatever 3531 doesnt sound bad. I trusted that my recruiter was being honest. Turned out he was lying and told me infantry was full because he was told by his command that he needed to sign people for Motor T. the way i found this out is because at Meps after i signed the contract i talked to a couple other poolees and asked them what there MOS's were. Turns out some of them got infantry even though it was supposedly full. So yeah thats how i got screwed.

When is your report date to MCT? You may find yourself in my platoon. And no, cell phones are not allowed during the training evolution (29 days). As for your MOS, it is true, after 2 years at your first duty station you may now request a lateral move to an open MOS. However, if you are pursuing an 03 field, you will end up right back at the School Of Infantry for your ITB training and specialty school.

Congratulations Marine!
Your recruiter didn't screw you over he hooked you up. A year from now you'll be thanking him for not putting you in the infantry.
