why did you join the Marine Corps /b/ ?
>>
>>681077337
To be close to other men. I'm gay
>>
Both of my parent's did 24 years as naval officers and i just became the off spring shitbag who enlisted, was going ot EAS but was offered E-5 so said fuck it since i have nothing better to do
>>
furthermore i'd like to hit Ssgt one day and try the whole JTAC thing out.
>>
>>681077337
Haven't joined yet
Bootcamp soon
>>
>>681078581
How old are you now? Hows the experience been for you?
>>
>>681078847
>22
>0311

a lot of my companies nco's all were getting out around the same 5 month span so a few space's needed to be filled. Lot's of lances taken out of their comfort zone and made E-4, shitbag E-4's having no business being E-4's making E-5. Deployed once, no action..But like i said i have nothing better to do and it's not half bad. I like the sense of responsibility.
>>
the recruiter got me
>>
>>681079662
Seems like the combat MOS's seem boring as shit right now, seems like terminal lance is pretty accurate then?
>>
>>681079911
Sorry for you bub, my recruiters didn't sugar coat shit. One of the first things they showed us new poolees were videos from the functions and the Black Friday series.
>>
>>681079914
Yeah pretty much the glory day's of getting sent over there are next to impossible unless you go as an Individual Augmentee to help train the ANA, either that or be an embassy guard in kabul
>>
>>681080100
bootcamp wasnt a shock but I was mislead on what certain MOS's did. 'Everyone is a rifleman', biggest shill I have ever been told

won't go into details but intel field, and it's skate as fuck, the amount of people we have in our shop makes a lot of us just free to do other shit, like courses. but it's a challenge when you're building intel i guess, it all comes with experience.
>>
>>681081563
I was supply. I was in division for my first two years which wasnt bad but then I switched to MLG where almost everyone was a shitbag or didnt care. Its like rolling the dice on what unit you will get.

I took a bus to 7/11 and ended up at Parris Island.

are intel chicks easy? fucked an intel Sgt as a Lance back when i was with 3/5, not like i'd tell anything but she was def a loose lip.

Seemed better than starving
>>
>>681082360
no females in our shop, thank fucking god. but i've heard some stories about other units. just because somebody is intel though doesn't mean they're any more smarter. just somebody with a better GT score. So I would assume the chicks would still be easy.
>>
Didn't want to keep fingerbanging Mary Jane Rottencrotch in the back of my parents' station wagon.

i would hope not brother, won't say too much but as far as troop movements, what units were going where at what time. she sang like a bird, i was sitting there thinking to myself god damn lol..no super high profile stuff but in my opinion enough to aid Haji

Crazy motherfuckers man.

Also intel, its a great oppurtunity for your career but there is not as much comradere as combat mos and you dont do a lot of marine kind of stuff so that sucks but you can get setup with some really good jobs once you get out of the corps.

Wanted to kill sand niggers and prove that I wasn't a worthless wetback. Then never got to deploy because I was a POG. So ended up being a worthless wet back anyways

Good luck with that my dude

>>681087991
Oh really? That's one of my top two branches that I want to get in the Army. I mean, I'm a ways out, but I'll be applying to OCS in November. CBRN and MI are my top two choices. How do you like it? Did it require a background in chemistry/physics? I have a major in mathematics and minor in chemistry, but I don't know if that would make me qualified. What level of security clearance did you need? I figure probably secret? Can you describe a little bit what you do on a daily basis?

1. Score at least a 91 in the ST portion of your asvab.
2. Not a clearance type job.
3. I just joined, i dont know what to expect thats why i threw it up here.
4. I ship off to boot on 5/8/16

Completed OCS on a flight contract but got medically dq'd for aircraft right afterward.

Decided not to commission, and go naval nuke officer instead. In the meantime I work as a parasitologist. Recruiter wasn't pleased but oh well. Sorry Gunny

>>681091513
Oh, no clearance? That's too bad, I really want to get TS, though it is kind of a nerve wracking process. Well, I appreciate the answers, man.
>>
>>681092211
That sucks for the recruiter, he did all the work of putting together your packet for OCS and you were like "naw, I don't feel like commissioning."
>>
>>681092211
>parasitologist
so do you have to do Naval OCS all over again or something?
>>
I joined because the West point recruiters were dicks, so enlisted Corps rather than army 0.
>>
>>681077337
>why did you join the Marine Corps /b/ ?

To travel the world, meet interesting people from strange and unusual cultures, and kill them.
>>
>>681092350
clearances are on a need to know basis my mom had Yankee white at one point and it didn't mean shit for the most part
>>
>>681091051
I thought you guys were on a MEU?
>>
>>681093161
India, Kilo & Lima are at the moment not Weapons
>>
>>681092558
It was lamentable, yes. But unfortunately the Marine Corps held no scientific MOS that I felt compelled towards after getting the no-go on aviation. I felt I would better serve the nation servicing reactors than vying for the best I could get at TBS. I still don't know if it was the right decision. I will definitely miss the no-bullshit atmosphere.

>>681092690
Yes, unfortunately. Back to candidate mode I guess...
>>
>>681093089
I know that, but the way to get the clearance is to have a job where you need to know (and with how much information is classified I would imagine that having knowledge on CBRN weapons would be classified). It's easier to maintain a clearance than it is to get one, plus having one (particularly TS/SCI) makes you pretty valuable. I know that even if you have a TS clearance, you still can't just go view any information at the S/TS levels, you need to have an actually need to know in order to gain access to it. My grandfather had TS/Q clearance (he was in the Army, but he did a lot of nuke work, so he probably had a clearance through the DOE too).

I think all officers automatically get secret, though.
>>
>>681093942
I don't blame you then, props for not letting them scare you into an MOS you would hate
>>
>>681083070
>just because somebody is intel though doesn't mean they're any more smarter.

I got secret after my first deployment for an unspecified reasons and i'm just a regular grunt, i have a theory as to why but I won't elaborate, i just know i don't care
>>
>>681093942
Yeah, I mean I see what you're saying. Honestly, I would expect a no bullshit atmosphere with just about any branch of the military (maybe less so Coast Guard or Air Force, not to shit on the AF), though probably less so than the Marines.
>>
>>681094537
on a common sense standpoint i'd agree but booksmarts wise they are
>>
Because I was mad about 911 and young and stupid enough to rush into it.
>>
>>681094712
Fair enough. Don't tell me, but it could have something to do with the area you were (or maybe the one of the offices you might have had regular access to). I mean, a janitor in the FBI building still needs like confidential clearance minimum just because of where he is.
>>
>>681082346

my CO didn't tell me shit he just said it was a process i needed to go through, asked like 3 times and he got annoyed and went into one of those "do as you're told" type of deals. I had to figure it all out myself lol. but yeah you're right!
>>
Didn't know this many Marines are on /b/. Just EAS'd from Miramar. Honestly I miss it. Can't talk to anyone like I used to, everyone starts judging you, saying you're too rough, too blunt, cuss too much, that bullshit. They all say you'll miss it when you're out, and at the time it's hard to believe, but you just don't realize what it is you'll miss until you are out.
>>
>>681096084
CivDiv sucks which is why i re-up'd..i hate to admit it but might be a lifer in the works. At least I'll be commissioned next summer
>>
>>681096400
What's your MOS? I figured the free college would be enough but it's a shit storm out here for jobs. You don't really pay attention to it because you don't worry about it. I'm about to start my degree in cyber security and just going to campus to get all the paperwork done. Ugh, I hate these kids man, so fucking rude. They have fucking like 19 year Olds running the Veteran's Office giving my attitude and shit. Went off on the little punk and some fat ass Army vets started talking shit, it was a mess
