Hey Marines - an 0313 question

[Joe_K]

My Recruiter tried the same tactic, tell him to tell the recruiter he won?t sign anything until an Infantry slot opens up. My Recruiter has his heart set on me being in Intel, or some crap because I?d Aced the ASVAB. I still ended up with an 11th hour change to my contract with an 03XX 5 year Security Forces contract slid across the desk and the SSGT telling me to sign it, or else I wouldn?t ship for another 6 months. I?d already waited 3 months, and he was sick of me.
I begrudgingly signed and shipped that day.
Lots of things have changed in the last 11 years and I?ve lost contact with the friends I had in 1st LAR. Not sure how Drivers vs. Gunners vs. Dismounts get assigned.

In hindsight I?m glad I signed that contract, the clearance, MOS schools, and experiences were well worth the indignity if not just being a Grunt. I also never would have met my Wife or be living in Colorado had I been stubborn and demanded to go with a 4 year Infantry contract.
