action packed MOS

[Oohrah Devildog]

Good Evening Marines,
I am a current pooliee out of New York i have my current MOS of infantry special forces. Im looking for a job with non stop action and danger. I love to skydive and do pretty much anything extreme. Do any of you Marines have suggestions as to which MOS is most exhilarating and fun I don't want to be a pencil pusher or a lab rat no offense. I want to be in the field, sky, ect ...
Thank you Marines

Slow down there Devil Pup. Worry about getting through boot camp first.
'Action packed'...the Marine Corps isn't some video game that you play. It's real life situations with real life dangers.

I totally agree WMarine just looking ahead to figure out what would fit my lifestyle there are so many different options that Im just doing research ahead of time. I am totally ready for bootcamp been training for it for the past 3 years Im ready. Just don't want to get there and not have a clue of what I want or what I can and cannot do thats all. Ive heard or Recon and FAST but am confused about MARSOC? what is it ?

If you want plenty of action, packing. Try MOS 3052-Packing Specialist.

Well we used to have Pearl Divers in the Corps, but they now have civilians doing that very exciting job which you might have relished. Maybe you can find something exciting and dangerous after you complete Boot Camp.

I didnt know the USMC had special forces (they are in the Army). I know we have Special Operation Forces (SOF) aka MARSOC. then theres Battalion Recon, & Force Recon. I also know there is no "infantry special forces" contract (unless you mean you have the Recon option in your contract). So dont go around like king-ding-a-ling saying you are going into Marine Special Forces. You are not.
Heres a little info: there are lots & lots of hours of boredom wherever you go. you wont be martin sheen in apocalypse now, or John Cena from "Marine." You dont just walk into Recon or MARSOC & say "hey guys, i jumped out of a plane before. I can hang." like WMarine said, slow down & focus on the 10m target.

For every wanna be out there...Recon is not as action packed as you think. They might have had their hand in the fight a lot more in Iraq, but they have since been moving toward their main objective during OEF. The purpose of a Recon/Marsoc Marine is to provide intell as well as perform specialized missions for either a Battalion CO, Regimental CO, or a MEF or Task Force CO. Their main purpose is not to be seen but rather collect info for follow on missions. Now every once in a while they will get into pretty heated fights, but not as common as your regular infantry unit. If you want 'Action Packed' then maybe it's just a Grunt life you are seeking. Be careful what you wish for, you might get exactly what you want.

Well said Sgt...be very f*cking careful what you wish for...also most action packed job is def band, cook and supply there slingshoting 50 cals all day man!

[Silentwarrior17]

The band is scary....never fvck with the band.

[sully0331]

The biggest motards arent even in the Corps yet ha

[Silentwarrior17]

That's because they are all "I'm gonna save the world and shoot people and do bad azz things and win medals...and yeah save the world!" Then they get there and I say "Hey Cpl Sully have the Pvt Smith go clean the sh*tter's and then get him over to the Company office because the XO spilled coffee on the floor and needs it cleaned up." LOL
