So who can tell me....about OCS, TBS and tattoos?
- Thread starter GeorgiaMarine
- Start date
Talk about sweating the small stuff. Why would you care about the quality of an OCS haircut?
1. Are you trying to look sexy for your platoon mates?
2. On liberty, no female in the DC area is going to be impressed with the quality (or lack thereof) of your hair cut. No, they're more likely to be turned on by your khaki pants, braided belts, polo shirts, cover tan, and SULE I war stories. Get some.
3. The difference between a good haircut and a bad haircut? One week.

Marine officer job selection
I am looking for my "TOP 3". I undersatand most 2nd Lt.'s get one of their top 3. I want to deploy and I want an exciting job. I do NOT want infantry, intel, Armor, Combat Engineer or MP.
Any Suggestions... thinking maybe Communication, Aircraft Command & Control or maybe Aircraft Supply
Help Please

is good to go
Check out http://www.marineocs.com/portal/index.php and check out the forums on the various MOS(s). You will get a description of the MOS and some good insight.

I could be way off, but I think Infantry has to one of your top 3
Aviation Supply=Somebody has to do it. Lots of paperwork and budgets and "I know we have aircraft that need to launch, but the NIINs don't cross so we can't issue this part" crap.
Communications=interesting but not necessarily exciting.
C3=parked in front of a monitor the majority of the time. Maybe you'll get to talk on a radio. Has the potential to get busy but you won't be "in the shit", instead you'll be talking to people who are.
Your choice, but don't go into it uninformed. Ask more questions if you need to.

Well, I know infantry and arty are not for me... I want a job that is rewarding and different each day. Not really interested in fetching a cup of joe for the top dog all day. I am wanting a job that is deployed. I enjoy the education field (I am a teacher now). Not sure there is a MOS related to education...
Thanks for the posts. This really helps!

You are in the reserves correct and understand how the Marine Corps works right? I'm sure each MOS has different degrees of "rewarding and different". Not sure what you mean by "fetching a cup of joe for the top dog all day". From your perception, what MOS has officers fetching coffee.
All MOS's deploy, some more than others.
No, there aren't any education MOS's
Hope that helps.
Have you looked into HMMWV-Driver? How about LMD Operator?
Seriously dude, you came to an aviation forum to ask about ground jobs, so you can expect to be ridiculed a bit. I promise you that TBS will offer you far more exposure to different MOS's than you ever wanted. In fact, the MOS mixers (job fairs) usually have a waiting line to talk to the 5 MOS's you specifically mentioned not wanting, so you shouldn't have a hard time waltzing right up to the few that actually interest you.
That is, unless your original post was a big joke, in which case, well played.
And being a 2ndLt, you're likely to have to fetch a cup or two of joe, no matter where you go.

Where the Fvck did you get that piece of disinformation? It wouldn't really be "your" top 3 if you had to put a certain MOS, now would it? If the Marines want infantry officers, they don't have to make you put it in your top 3, they just tell you to head across the street to IOC.

Chill out tlord...
I was misinformed. It's been a long time since I spoke with a Marine OSO.
GeorgiaMarine, take what I said earlier as incorrect.

No, you will learn how to be a provisional rifle platoon commander. You get some intro into other fields, but not much at all.
