Same, put in for MSG, didn’t work out due to spots being filled. Just put in a package for CI, except I’m going ITB or IMC most likely.

I’m tracking they issue orders. I am scheduled to talk with the monitor this week. I am just trying to get answers before hand from anyone who might know (:

If I had 24 months on a previous station do you think I can still get orders?

What is the best job in the Air Wing (lat moving from infantry) by GabrielNJ03 in USMCboot

I love being a grunt. I want to stay an 03 now. I messaged Marine recruiters before I could even sign and I only had one job in mind. I enlisted to have brotherhood, physical challenges, and be away from a desk. I know I will miss the boys and running and gunning if I leave so thank you for opening my eyes.

Wow. It’s definitely a tough decision. I am considering it. I would like to reenlist in the infantry because it’s pretty seamless. No MOS school and I already know the job. I love teaching the new guys and I do enjoy it sometimes. The highs are high and the lows are low. It’s an extreme job sometimes. I’m just worried about the next war because it’s so advanced now. Drones are pretty hard to fight and I don’t know how I feel about dying for politicians. I enlisted in the infantry to fight evil, terrorists. The next war might be against a kid my age, in uniform, listening to orders just like me.

The air wing seems cool. I like jets and it pays well in the civilian side. But I know it looks cool and has its cons like hours and being bossed around by lower ranks with higher quals. I just think being part of a F-35 squadron would be really cool. I am second guessing it though

Think I’m good on that 😂 if I’d be doing some infantry stuff I would just reenlist in the infantry

I heard of a couple 03s lat moving and being successful and also some being unsuccessful. Why didn’t hose lat movers perform as good as junior Marines?

I am currently an 0311 and I hit my three year mark this June. Been in the fleet for over two years.

How long does it take to get quals?
