You're gonna have to fight me for it.

[boblasek]

You're gonna have to fight me for it.

Haha, I am older so I win
On a side note the Gunnery Sergeant At my RSS said that there are fast promotions in the Aviation mechanic field.

Hmm. I heard the opposite but maybe Im wrong. A Lance Corporal that I went to HS with whose Deployed in Iraq told me, but only one way to find out huh.

[MarinesFTW]

I already was able to pick my job? The jobs came out a month ago. I already got 6XXX, so I win?

Why don't you just look up the cutting scores. My recruiter has them like every month in the Marine Corps Times. But you can just look them up on the site. Here's July's. The lower the score the faster the promotion. These ones are for Lance Corporal to Corporal.

When do the new jobs get released and opened up? I was told October. Is this what you all have heard as well?

[boblasek]

New Fiscal Year is October 2009, and let me just say I picked my job in February so I win again! But seriously good luck to everyone on here. Remember you got to pass your schooling before you get your jobs.

Chances are your recruiter is waiting for the new jobs to open up, unless you have it in writing like I do, you don't have any particular MOS yet.

Some of you guys should come with me into the (AG) Field. It sounds like fun.*
