Military Hotrod Club - what MOS would you pick

if you could start all over?

i think i'd rather have been a basic 0311.

I love my MOS 31B formally 95B Military Police

i would have stuck with EOD, which was what my original contract said. but...i was dumb, wanted a bigger bonus, and wanted to be combat arms. so...19k it was.

I wouldn't want to change, but if I did I would be a translater and learn to speak a hard language like Arabic. Whatever mos that is. Good high paying job opprounities when you get out, and all you have to do is talk lol

i was an arabic translator (98G) and it sucked. not quite as simple as just talking. language is a little too abstract for me. i'm switching over to navy and going for the nuclear power program.

AFSC for A/F guys. 2F051 - I Pump Gas... Its not bad but I guess I should have worked of F-15 Engines instead.

if i had to start over i would have picked the same one.
0311

88M are cool if they get to drive the Hex :drive: that's one BIG ass truck :judge:

When I initially joined the Marines I wanted to be an 0311 but when I took my asvab test the recruiter said "no way in hell you are going to be a grunt, we need you in a technical field." It worked out for the best because being a computer tech in the Marines definitely helped me land a job once I was a civilian again.

I started off as an 0341 and after a couple years lat moved to 3451 (Fiscal Budget Tech). If I had it to do over again, I'd still start off as an 03xx. Being a grunt gives you an appreciation for that side of the Marine Corps you can't get any other way.

But... my favorite MOS was 8511 and 8563 (and not the current designation of MCIWS... I'm talking WSSI. Much harder than MCIWS)! Now there's some fun. Hard as hell, but fun!!

Theres only one MOS in my eyes 0311 U.S. Marine Infantry Man THe heart and soul of the Corp!!!!!!!!

I'd stick with 18X

I love the way I did it... first 4+ years 11B... kick in doors, sniper, LRRSD, etc. Then re-enlist for computer MOS and do 3 more... get out and make good money :D

ill stick with being a 19D SCOUT !!


SCOUTS OUT!!!!

USMC 2146 Tank Mechanic

8563 MCIWS in 2001, it has changed even more since then and become even more relaxed with the school, will become a 'T' when I return from Iraq.

Then AF Reserve Bio Med Tech that lasted a year before I couldn't stand not being with Marines anymore.

Forced lat move to 2651 but got stuck on Recruiting Assistance w/out proper training but a quota, 8411, kinda I guess then.

Got over to Lejeune was working as the SACO for the Battalion but hated it and talked to the monitor and got back to my roots.

Presently am now 2146 again, back with Tanks and in Iraq and loving every minute of the grime and filth.

I don't think I would ever want anything else, but as the years go on I do think a lat move may be a good idea. Getting something a little more tangible in the way of civilian workforce would be good I believe.

0352 would of stayed got hurt now motor t maint if you can't truck it f&*k it

Hey, I don't know about you guys but I love my job, 6276, kc-130 flight mech, there was no bonus when I got in but the flight pay and per diem make up for it big time!!!

I loved my job, EOD, for the longest. Of course, playing with bombs wears you down so after 10 years I punched out last november. Never wanted to do anything else. Did some nice paying contract jobs for a bit and now I just sit on my ass and collect unemployment... ;)

0231 my whole 4 1/2 years ...it was alright but was in the process of lat-moving into the 0211 field because of my middle eastern background :D :D
That all got halted when I got sent to Kuwait and then Iraq.

If I ever go active again, I'm going to try to get lined up for MSG duty.

For those that think grunts/infantry is "THE job" to have, I love that phrase "easy to be hard, hard to be smart" :p

3521 motor t mechanic..(much better than being an operator, you have a use!)

pssh you grunts today, gotta get us and the 7tons just to take you guys 1.5miles down the road to range 314 ;) i know you guys run 10x that long, you make us go with you when we all know we have trucks :)

If I had to do it over, I don't know. My original moscontract was 0311 but... shit.. Admin looks pretty nice if you ask me ;) hah.

I like my MOS now. I was a 31U (now 25U). Now I'm a 33W. I fix MI systems. Great clearance, and good enough training to help get a nice job when I get out. I just need to go get my certs and I'm good.
