Which combat mos should I choose?
Posted on
I’m currently a marine in in ITB and pretty soon we have to decide which mos we want to have but I’m not really sure which one I should go for. There’s machine gunner, mortar man, and rifleman. (I’m not too interested in missile man) Machine gunners get to dump rounds down range and shoot all the big guns which is pretty badass and what’s better than using automatic weapons? On the flip side they carry the most shit which would suck on the hikes. Mortarmen just kinda sit back and drop bombs down a tube and I heard they get it pretty easy in the fleet. I also think the whole concept of being able to blow people up from inside of a compound, on the other side of a mountain, or from the other side of a town is pretty cool. Riflemen get to get all up close and personal and close with the enemy. We just got the brand new m27s and they get to go out to range and dump mags in full auto which is something the other MOSs don’t get to do. The riflemen in the company ahead of us are about to go do the simulated rounds against their instructors which is something else the other MOSs don’t get to do as well. They spend more time in the field than the others too which would kinda blow and I heard that machine gunners and motors get treated better here and in the fleet. I’m 6’ 180lbs and I got third in the company in our 5k ruck run so that would help my case if I tried to get Machine gunner or Mortar man. My GT score is a 102 so I’m not too concerned about qualifying for it just which one I should choose. Each one seems to have there pros and cons. Anybody out there who can help me out?
