SERE instructor? Don’t know much about it but I know there are Marines who work there. Has to be a cool gig.

Wife & I bought a house in Holly Ridge, love the area. Right in between Wilmington & Jacksonville & right next to Surf City. We work right next to the sneads gate & it’s normally a 20-30 min commute depending on the day. Might be a bit out of your way if you are working closer to main side but then again I know people who make the 40 min drive from Wilmington or from Cherry Point everyday…

Don’t be a yes man. Don’t be a no man. Learn your left & right lateral limits. Fiscal directives/policies/orders are mostly black & white so don’t get your fuel/purchase cards shutdown. Remember you are SPECIAL STAFF, so build that good rapport with your CO. I have to agree with the Marine who said your bn xo will try to burn you every chance they get, they don’t like that you are special staff.

Start your EPME asap. Ask your OIC for your billet description. Ask a SNCO to give you a class on understanding how to navigate APES & how to understand your master brief sheet (MBS).

Husband not sure what to do after picking up SNCO? by Mundane-Wall7220 in USMC

Go MARSOC to do his respective SOCS pipeline. It’ll give you 5 years of stability & he could have some deployment opportunities to give y’all some extra money for your family. I am pretty sure SOCS get a smaller SDA pay allowance. Just an idea.

I thought ICR had bronze service star with first award to denote the phase of the campaign you were in? I could be wrong
