I am 100% going into the Marines as enlisted, I just have no idea what I want to do in it. And yes, I know my primary M.O.S. will be a rifleman. I'm talking to my recruiters right now, but all I really get when I ask them this question is bullshit, so I need some advice. What M.O.S.'s do you guys have / did have or can suggest for me? I would like to go into something with computers. Thanks for the feedback. Link to comment

You can read into whatever you find further. Link to comment

Jewpiter Posted November 9, 2009 Content Count: 2661 Joined: 02/11/08 Status: Offline Share Posted November 9, 2009 I've been in the infantry since 2003. I've been deployed to Iraq in 2003-04. I am an E5, airborne and air assault qualified. I have been attached to the 101st Airborne Div, 3rd ID and 1st ID to name a few. I can tell you from personal experience that MOS 11B (Infantry) is filled with a lot of peaks and valleys. Meaning, that you'll experience moments of incredible adrenaline rush followed by weeks or months of boredom. Cloud Strike is our local jarhead here. I am Army, so I can't vouch for what the Marines do, other than make dick and gay jokes. Link to comment

I was considering going infantry, or maybe even MP. I heard MP was really fucking boring though. Link to comment

My cousin is an MP, it's basically only for people who are planning to go into law enforcement when they finish their service. Link to comment

There are worse things in life than getting paid to do everything a soldier does minus the getting killed part. Link to comment

Which is exactly why I don't plan to go on "volunteer convoys" if and when I get deployed overseas. Link to comment
