Your MOS is selected when you sign your enlistment contract at the MEPS centre. While in BCT or OSUT, you may have the option to drop certain elective (for example, you can drop a RIP contract, or you can drop Airborne school), but you can't change your MOS. If you fail your AIT for the MOS for which you enlisted, then you'll be retrained in another MOS, although you're not very likely to have much of a say in regards to which MOS you're retrained as.

It's made to teach you how to learn and be adaptable and to get you prepared for military life. If you cant be disciplined, you wont do very well in any MOS. Marine Corps boot camp is made to break you and build you back up into a confident individual. after boot camp you will attend the school of the MOS you chose and after completion of that school you would attend the school of infantry because the Marine Corps beleives every man is a rifleman. boot camp wont teach you how to do infantry tactics. but like the message below says, they teach you the BASICS so you cant get started. To learn the basics of being an infantryman. The infantry is the "base" of the US Army. All other branches (MOS's) are designed to support the infantry: Armor provides shock action, Artillery provides firepower, Aviation provides support, transportation & firepower, Military Policemen provide security, Engineers provide support, etc. it smacks the civilian out of you and puts military discipline in you. they break you then remold you into a soilder.

Army = Basic Combat Training (BCT) or One Station Unit Training (OSUT), dependent on your MOS. Marine Corps/Navy = Boot Camp When you leave for Basic/Boot Camp, you ship out from the Military Entrance Processing Centre (MEPS) - the same facility you would've signed your enlistment papers out. When you arrive, you are received at the Adjutant General Battalion (Army - don't know what it is for the other services), during which time you will receive your vaccinations, initial uniform issue, sign up for Tricare, etc. You will be held there until both a unit "downrange" becomes available, and there is a sufficient number of personnel to fill this unit. That may take two weeks or more.
