The title of the thread is short and sweet, but I will go into more detail. I'm new to the forums and didn't see anything I could read which would answer some questions I have. For any other poolee who is following this thread, I'll list the MOS below.
0400 - Basic Logistics Marine
2300 - Basic Ammunition and Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Marine.
I have done some research since my recruiter presented me with the SOU listing these as my MOS. I had chosen 0400 Basic Logistics Marine as my number one choice following the review of my ASVAB line scores and MOS job availability. I did NOT choose the second MOS. Naturally, I went to some credible military websites, and asked around to see what other former Marines knew of the MOS. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any answers substantial enough to ease my anxiety.
If any Marine apart of this community has experience with this field, I respectfully request an explanation as to what I will be doing as a Marine with this MOS.
I'll provide some basic information that I'm asked often if it helps. I plan on going active duty. I'm hoping to apply as many times as it takes for MECEP. I do plan on making the Marine Corps a career. Lastly, I have aspirations to one day be a Marine officer.
Below I'm listing some simple questions.
What is the likelihood of deployment?
What is the likelihood that I could attend college?
In this MOS, will I have other opportunities to take on, like MCMAP or other qualification courses?
Can I be killed during daily operations within this MOS?
What is a 0400/2300 Marine's day consist of? Stateside? Deployed?
Those are all the questions that come to mind, but if I have more, I will not hesitate to list them. I appreciate any effort made to help me out.
Respectfully,
