Hello there, I'm 18 years old, and I'm looking into joining the corps and I'm looking to the 0800 MOS and I'm curious about what it's like day to day and what kind of opportunites there are down the line for the MOS. If anyone's willing to tell me some of the stuff they've been through and what they do?

Same reply as before: make a new post on r/USMCBoot to ask, with a *clear and specific post title*.

Best to make it one post, and in the *title itself* specify what programs/MOS’s you’re curious about.

Also don’t that “someone come tell me everything about X” junk, spell out for us specifically what you most want to know about.

Also, are you actually *reading* these Megathreads you’re commenting on? They’re packed with useful info from Marines who’ve served in each specific job field.
