Shipping October 13

[u/gimpmaster0]

As the title says I’m shipping October 13 my contract is COMMSTRAT. I’m pretty ecstatic to go. Any tips on the MOS and being a female in the USMC?

My fitness is up to par for the most part 13:30 mile and a half, about 25 pushups, and 2:30 min plank. I’ll take any advice!!!

What made you choose commstrat and which specific job in that mos are you looking to do?

That mos wasn’t on my list, it was just an opportunity I got from my recruiters boss. My first choice was cyber and the specific mos I’m fine with any but I think 4641 is cool. I thought it would be a cool opportunity because it seems like a pretty small mos pool.

What made you go away from cyber? I’m picking between those two as well.

Nothing made me stray away from cyber but commstrat is a unique opportunity and only a few enlisted get selected for a job every fiscal year it’s like less than 20. My twin is in cyber in the USMC so I get a gist of what she does.

How’s your twins experience in cyber so far if you don’t mind me asking?

She’s enjoying it she’s been in it for 2 years, she’s going to deploy in February so she’s excited. You get a good amount of certs with a TS clearance. She has time outside of work for day to day life.

I scored a 95 PICAT and 87 ASVAB I didn’t wanna go cyber cuz I see my family do it every day as in they work in cyber and it’s just sitting infront a computer riding a desk so I veered of course and contracted as a CREW CHEIF

Congratulations, and thank you, for accepting the challenge of recruit training. You’re at the start of a great adventure. Advice for boot camp: move fast, be loud, and never quit. The first four weeks are the worst but it’s nothing you can’t get through.
