The Marine Corps is very good at avoiding MOS overages in the support services. If you join the Marines to be a cook, they let you enlist to be a cook because they thought one of their cooks was about to get out of the Corps. If that guy stays in the Corps, they WILL reclassify you to something else. This happened to my brother--he was reclassified to three different things before he got out of training. Your case is different: there are never enough 0311s. If you want to be an 0311, and you can pass infantry school, you'll be an 0311.

Who was the toughest marine corp drill instructor?

Each recruit believes that he or she had the toughest Drill Instructor in the Corps assigned to their platoon. The fact that the Drill Instructors are just short of being the craziest son's-o-bitches in the world doesn't help that impression. The fact that the Corps still turns out some of the greatest fighting men and women in the world is a testament to their desire, dedication and belief in our Corps.


Why does the marine corps suck?

they don't ^ Unless you actually enjoying thinking for yourself and making your own choices OR learning things that will actually help you later in life...the saying once a marine always is a marine is true, because they don't want to admit that's basically the only thing they excelled at. Nothing like spending 4 or 5 years of your life to come out only to shingle roofs or flip burgers.


Do you have to go through college NROTC to become on officer in the US Marine Corps or is high school NROTC enough?

In order to become a Marine Corps Officer you have to go through the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps program in college, go through OCS after College, or go to the Naval Academy. All Marine Corps Officers are college graduates. You can enlist after high school but the program in high school is not strictly military training, it is only military affiliated. In fact ROTC in High School may not help you very much in trying to become a Marine Officer. The majority of high school ROTC members who eventually join the military enlist, while many officers played a couple of sports and worked on getting good grades more than anything else. Talk to a recruiter if you are interested in going enlisted, or try to find the Naval ROTC at colleges you are interested for more information on becomming an Officer. You have to graduate with a college degree in order to be commissioned an Officer. If you flunk out of college, you will not get a commission even if you complete all the ROTC requirements/courses.
