Summer's over.
It seems like I've been really busy lately, and yet haven't done much at all.
I visited the USMC recruiting station on Saturday the 5th. I answered a lot of general questions, completed a paper practice ASVAB which qualified me to enlist, and timed my flexed arm hang (which I passed). Then we set up a meeting with my recruiter, Sgt. Reynolds, for Tuesday the 8th. On Tuesday, we watched a video, asked a lot of questions, answered a lot of questions, and set up a meeting for my dad to meet with Sgt. Reynolds today (the 12th).
My mom has been so supportive, I love her for it. My dad has shown not disapproval, but a severe lack of interest, up until discussion of choosing an MOS (Military Occupational Specialty), and then he'll lecture about how I need to choose an MOS that I'll be able to use to my advantage after the Corps. I'll mention a MOS with maintainence or technician in the title and I'll get a good 20 minute response as to how I'll never use the knowledge gained later in life.
One MOS I'm really interested in is 2311 Ammunition Technician (or 6531 Aircraft Ordnance Technician). One I've been passively considering is 0621 Field Radio Operator. Obviously, I wouldn't be on the frontline as I do not have man parts, but it is open to women, so it's a possibility.
- For 2311, I'll need a GT score of 100, which is a combination of Arithmetic Reasoning and Verbal Expression (the sum of WK and PC).
- For 6531, I'll need a GT score of 105.
- For 0621, I'll need an EI score of 90, which is a combination of GS, AR, MK, and EI.
ASVAB subtests
Electronics Information (EI)
Paragraph Comprehension (PC)
Arithmetic Reasoning (AR)
General Science (GS)
Auto & Shop Information (AS)
Assembling Objects (AO)
Mechanical Comprehension (MC)
Mathematics Knowledge (MK)
Word Knowledge (WK)
Anyway, I'll be taking the ASVAB on Monday (the 14th), so I've got a lot of studying to do.
And hello to new friend, lovelysofar!
