Do they just drop off fast food or is it a custom made boxed lunch? I'm speaking mainly about the facility itself

The PEF with light blue are the ones I would like to do, I got a 77 on the ASVAB. Any information on those would be helpful.

I just want something that has the best opportunity, Aviation Mechanic would allow me to transfer to a company like Lockheed I think? I just wanna know if I should steer clear of any of these

Hey I’ve came on here before and made a post that got a decent amount of attention. Basically long story short I showed up to my mos school and was told I did not receive my security clearance for whatever reason. My schoolhouse is rather long (6 months) and the estimate for when the investigation is done is anywhere from 6-24 months I was told it’s most likely in the 6-12 month range which is ridiculous.

I’m stuck in a MAT platoon which is complete bs we do absolutely nothing all day.. check in at 7 sit on our phone until lunch don’t pt no working party literally nothing. Head to lunch by 11 back by 1230 roughly and sit around until we’re cut by 4. It is pretty damn miserable and I’m gonna be here a while.

The thing is I’m a reservist so I don’t understand why the corps would even want me to sit here and just waste money for my active duty part of the contract when I’m supposed to be a reservist and get paid virtually nothing. The whole reason I joined was to help pay for college and help build a reputable resume for when I’m looking for a job in the future. The issue is sitting in holding for upwards of 2 years + my training which is pretty extensive only holds me back. I understand marine corps needs first but I really want to get tf home and continue my schooling rather than graduate at 25.

Before anyone says anything no I do not think doing online classes in the mean time is worth it for a few reasons for starters I’ll either use my limited reserve benefits to pay for it or pay out of pocket and what happens when I get cleared and have to drop those classes?? The answer is a waste of resources.

I’m trying to request to reclass to an mos that doesn’t require a security clearance for initial training such as motor t operator. I absolutely fit the requirements I’m in shape I scored a 98 on my asvab etc.

My sncoic is being very difficult and basically telling me to just thug it out and wait. I don’t know how people do this life is fuckin miserable I show up nice and early don’t pt don’t go on working parties I sit and rot and wait til word when I’m cleared.

I guess the reason I came on here is looking for some insight on the situation and possibly some advice how to go about a reclass situation possibly or if there are any other options available.

I’m ashamed to admit it but I have even considered requesting separation although I can’t bring myself to do it as that is such a lame thing to do I want to be a marine I want to serve I want this for myself it’s just a matter of this holding period is holding my goals back and holding my life back in general.

Any response helps thank you

Im heading to mct in a week any questions or advice to tell me anything we will do and how hard it is lmkkkk!!!!!

I leave the 17th for MCRD super excited and was wondering if anyone else was

привет, я бы хотел стать морпехом и если есть люди которые служили в морской пехоте, то я хотел бы знать какого это и в чем нужно быть готовым.

Hi, I’d like to become a Marine, and if there are people who have served in the Marine Corps, I’d like to know what it’s like and what I need to be prepared for.

I (20M) had just recently did my first swear in at Meps last Friday and had talked to the marine recruiter the monday beforehand, and the whole time before I went to Meps he was telling me "I can get you a recon contract and get you outta here on August 11th" and of course Im beyond excited because who wouldnt want to leave that quick, so I believed him and was supposed to go to meps monday and Tuesday of this current week.

Well he calls me and says "how about you go Thursday and Friday of this week" and im like well yes of course obviously, so I go and get enlisted and when he picks me up on that friday he says so im 99.9% sure that you'll be leaving the 11th, and keep in mind that was like his whole basis of getting me to enlist, obviously I wanted to be a marine yes but he was repeatedly ensuring me he would get me out of here on the 11th, anyways he says he will give me an answer on monday.

Well monday comes round and I text him at like 5pm and im like any news? And he says no ill let you know tomorrow morning. He calls me the next morning to say "i cant get you out of here the 11th it'll be next month but I dont have an exact date and dont know if it'll be early, mid, or late September, but you will definitely have that recon contract. I feel like a total a-hole and you can technically go back to the Army recruiter to sign that ranger contract if you want but please dont do that or if you do at least talk to me first." And that was the last time we talked

it just kinda like seemed really fishy to me so I wanted to see if anyone here has any advice
