[quote]Anyone here a Veteran or Joining The Corps I'm still Getting in Shape for it I'm hoping to get on the DEP by December-January looking for the 03** fields I'm leaning toward Recon Marine, Combat Engineer, Scout Sniper, My Dream is to Become a Drill Instructor at MCRD Paris Island, I would also love to whip around Some Officers at OCS. Anyways i Respect all of you Veterans out there No Matter what Branch. You People are the Real Hero's out there we should be worshiping yall like we do movie stars or Sports players, You Marines & Troops deserve more than we could ever give you. So even on this Web-sight i am Thanking you, Good Hunting out there. PLEASE DONATE TO THE WOUNDED WARRIORS FOUNDATION SUPPORT OUR TROOPS[/quote] And fyi. Can't enlist as a STA Marine. Don't do combat engineer. They're -blam!-ing POGs just like Administration Marines. I am ALMOST certain you cannot enlist as a DI. 98% SURE. 03xx is what you will most likely get. It's tough getting 21 guaranteed contract nowadays. You'll go to boot camp. The. Infantry Training Battalion in which you'll be split into the other branches of 03. Machine gunner, TOW (oh three motor T....lolllll), assault man, rifleman. Honestly doesn't -blam!-ing matter. Cuz u need to be a SME on all that. One thing I was taught early on is to learn the job of your own, the one above yours, and familiarize yourself with all acquainted fields. Haha and don't expect promotions. I'm a hard head and stick up for my junior Marines. So I got in trouble a lot. Yeah they put me down to PFC E-2. But I'm still rocking a stack of medals heavier than some -blam!-ing POG SNCO. Hahahahaha. Good times. I even had my junior guys who were E-3 stand at parade rest when addressing me, and always address me as "Private First Class".... lmao. I miss those days
