Brak asked:
Now I know that a newly commissioned 2nd Lt must take whatever MOS awarded to them by the USMC, and is lucky for it. But I’m wondering if there are any specific qualities that could get a certain Specialty barring any predetermined contract like Aviation or Law. I’m thinking like a certain degree from college or a certain test score on a military test ( ASVABs for enlisted right?) or hows that work?

My boyfriend is in the Marines and we live in california. He will be done with his MOS in October. He’s doing Aviation supply i believe. I know marines have a list of places they wish to go but how does the corps decide where to send them?

Can I go active duty as an aviation mechanic and go to college at the same time?
nick asked:
My plan is to go into the marine corps as an active duty aviation mechanic and go to college at the same time studying aeronautical mechanics for 4-6 yrs, and then retire from the corps when I’m 38 and began a new career as an engineer working on jets and helicopters for the goverment. Is this a likely or possible scenario? How much of college will the corps pay for? What colleges will i have to choose from? Do I just sign up for college once I’m out of boot camp or what?

Any Marines out there in Aviation?
FullPotential asked:
I am currently enlisted into the Marine Corps,I ship out for boot camp in three months. I scored a 77 on my ASVAB. Which i was told is slightly above average. I am interested in the field of Avionics and was wondering if anyone could give me an idea what life is like in the Air Wing/Aviation side of the Marine Corps. Any input from any Marines or Former Marines will be helpful. Thank you.

What kind of test is taken to become a Marine Officer Pilot?
Peter asked:
I am considering joining the Marines as a pilot after I receive my bachelors degree. I was told by friend that all prospective pilots must pass a written test in order to qualify and become contracted after OCS is complete.
I am considering joining the Marines as a pilot after I receive my bachelors degree. I was told by friend that all prospective pilots must pass a written test in order to qualify and become contracted after OCS is complete.
My question is… Is this test just a more advanced version of ASVAB? Or is it aviation specific? My purpose of asking is primarily for preparation and study purposes. Also, are there any guides (I.E. books or websites) or suggestions to prepare for this?
Thanks!!!

Can a US Marine have the same job all throughout his military career?
in_lovebaby13 asked:
If a marine stays in the military for 20years is it possible for him to keep the same job and the same place the whole time? My boyfriend is in Aviation and He is stationed really close to me and his parents. If he does more than his 4 years can he keep his job and the location of it for how ever long he wants to stay?

Marine Corps 6672 Aviation Supply Specialist Question?
Megs asked:
My fiancee just found out that his MOS was changed to 6672 Aviation Supply Specialist about a week ago. They’re flying him to Athens, GA for the school tomorrow morning but that’s all they’re telling him. Does anyone know how long this school is? He asked me to try and find out online but I couldn’t for the life of me find anything about it by googling it. Any information about this MOS would be GREATLY appreciated because he doesn’t know ANYTHING about it. He’s currently at ITB but his MOS was switched so they’re pulling him out of there. He wants to know things like how long the school is, what the school and MOS in general is like, if he’ll have any time off while at the school, and things of that nature. But ANY info would be VERY helpful! Thank you!!!
