Giveen? What places were you deployed to during your term?

[giveen]

Nowhere. Read my dialogue about my service.
I was going to deploy as a Cpl of the Guard to Al Asad as base security, but I had just gotten promoted to Cpl and my GySgt didnt feel I was ready yet and he canc my deployment and sent me to Cpl's Course.

It depends on what MOS you end up in the 06xx field. If you are a radio dog, you will probably work in a telecom field, and a 0651 will probably end up as a very basic network administrator. Your salary depends on the state you are in but can range from 30-40k. Tops

Hello Marines,

I have a lot of questions, obviously. I have my A.A. (need upper division courses to receive my B.S.), scored a 76 on ASVAB and signed up for "BX"-Data Systems. I live in Los Angeles.

1. After boot camp and MCT (both in San Diego and Camp Pendleton), how do I go about following the right path of the networking field?

2. Will I be going to 29 Palms? If so, for how long for 0651 and 0656?

3. I know it depends on my fleet, but how what are my chances of getting deployed over seas?

4. Will I be able to request West Coast only? On what grounds?

5. Where do most of the Marines go after they have completed their MOS certification?

6. I signed up for 5X3 and want to go through the MECEP program to pursue my B.S. in Computer Science (I only need my upper division courses to be finished). How will I go about school while on active duty?

7. Could I also have time to achieve my Masters degree while in the Marine Corps?

8. How long will it take me to become an officer? Considering my status and the field I am going into.

Thank you for your help.

MWAHHAHAHAHAHAH welcome to the club bro, im 0621 and my mos has closed out. You will be going to 29 palms bro lol.

Tallboot, Sir,

How long have you been in 29 Palms? or How long have you been there (if you're still there)?

Most of the time, you will go to your B school right after your A school.
So right after you you get done with the 0651 school, they will move you over to the 0656 school.
