Fun/Interesting MOS's?

[Yankeeloon200]

Hey Marines,

I just took my ASVAB for the 2nd time and score a 60, but i didnt get the line scores needed to do the MOS I requested.

So my question is what's something that i can do in the Marine Corp that is challenging yet fufulling. I have looked at MOS descriptions for alot of jobs but the majority are vague, and i would like to see the Marines here what their experiences are like for their MOS's and if the MOS is something that i could enjoy while serving.

What may be challenging and yet fulfilling for one person, may not be challenging and fulfilling for another. I know you're only looking for advice, but only you can make the choice in what MOS you want to do in the Marine Corps.
Try doing a search on the site as quite a few MOS's have been covered before.

I found that being a grunt was fun and fulfilling...

lmao @ the responses

with an ASVAB score of 60 I am not even what you qualify for really that is going to be "fun/interesting"

[Sgt Leprechaun]

"0311...Ya made it".

[CallMeBob]

I agree with 3432, it will definitely be a challenge and lots of "fun", some of the best moments you will have will be on the weekends when you black out and forget everything.

I know a guy that just went to AF as a water purifier....I'm guessing he'll be doing ECP or detainee handling... I, too, was surprised to hear its still a viable MOS.

[Yankeeloon200]

What MOS did you request?

I tried to get aircrew but i was 5 points off 105MM Score.

Im probably going to request something in Tanks. Infantry is way to full right now and Tanks looks like a MOS that could put me close to combat and i like working with my hands.

[Sgt Leprechaun]

I know it's 'juvenile' but I think tanks would be 'coool'.

[Yankeeloon200]

I know it's 'juvenile' but I think tanks would be 'coool'.

Sorry sergeant but cant tell if this is sarcasm or not haha.

Gonna be hard to explain to my family that im gonna do Tanks. which my dad being a retired army tank crewman fully knows the dangers in the middle east of being one.

[Sgt Leprechaun]

No, not sarcasm at all. I do think it would be cool.
