When you get there you will have full fleet liberty, so don't lose your frickin minds!!! The instructors at this course are of the highest grade and there is no reason you should fail this course.
They will offer you as much help as you need. Ssgt Peskuski stayed after class with me on several occaisions to assure I knew the material. Remember, they can't help if you don't ask. Pay attention because you will use this in the fleet. You will have written tests, as well as graded missions on the simulator there, and 1 live fire out on San Clemente Island. If you do not properly prepare yourself for this, you will FAIL, and they aren't likely to recycle you in Coronado.
Their life is miserable enough, they don't need your trash talk. Coronando was the best time I've ever had in the Marine Corps, so enjoy it. It will be over quickly. Thanks for the post, very useful information. I just got to Ft. Sill and don't think my class is picking up for a while. A little nervous though, the class seems pretty hard but I should be alrite.
It looks as though you are serious about your MOS. The poolees and wannabees, among others, should heed what you say. Now, a little background please. Profile up. It is very rare for a new Marine to get to Ft. A little advice, after your done with your working parties, go to the gym and PT as much as you can on your free time. Don't bother trying to read any class materials to get ahead, as it will do more harm then good. When I signed my pre-ship paerwork last week, I signed up for my job being combat support nothing detailed about what I would do.

My only question really is what it would be like for a Sgt to lat move over to this job? Just wondering if you've encountered any senior NCOs that have lat moved and what they are doing now as an Are they getting their hands dirty with the rest of them or are they sitting being a desk in the S-3 shop?
Thanks a lot. I'm going to level with you, because of the bonus we had, we have been flooded with NCO's, especially Sgt's and are in dire need of Pvt-Lcpl's. I have encountered several lat-movers, and at one point we had over 16 Sgt's in our shop alone, outnumbering E-4 and below by over 2 to 1. All of the fun work as an Is from Pfc - Cpl.
The more exciting work is E-4 and below. But the prospect of being out of the fight directly makes me reconsider staying in this particular MOS.
I hate deskwork and computers, but eventually your advancement in the Marine Corps will precipitate that kind of work in any MOS you take. Re: As an , he should be on a normal deployment schedule. He will probably do 6 months deployed to 12 months at home, somewhere around there. These Marines also operate sophisticated communications equipment, as they're tasked with establishing radio networks for voice and other communications, including during combat operations.
And they also operate Marine Corps fire support systems. The training for this position is rigorous and demanding; roughly 25 percent of those who enter the training program fails to advance and are recycled into other Marine jobs. Marines do not step into this position without first meeting several prerequisites and undergoing specific training.
Another requirement of this job, since these Marines deal with sensitive weaponry and combat plans, is a secret security clearance from the Department of Defense. This involves a background check of a person's character and finances, and a history of alcohol abuse or illegal drug use may be disqualifying factors.
Marines in this job must be U. The course includes written tests weekly and three graded live fire missions. If you flunk any of the tests or live fire missions, you're out of the program. Because this is a PMOS, it is limited to only enlisted Marines, chief warrant officers, limited duty officers and warrant officers.
These Marines are promoted to this position. Once they've passed their training, Marines in MOS are considered experts in all things fire support, and provide guidance in the field for infantry units. The pace can vary, but these Marines are usually on the front lines in combat situations, and their expertise is highly valued by unit commanders.
