Whats your MOS?

Indeed and will do, Also my MOS is 0689 Computer Network Defense/Cyber Security Specialist, sounds nerdy I know but I LAT moved in from radio, so I could learn a skill set that I could take with me.

Hot water isn’t really an issue I have an electric kettle that we use for coffee, noodles, cleaning things. It should work well enough as it brings water to a boil.

No matter what your MOS is you earned the title Marine just like the rest of us you choose a different career path. I was Avation for more years than I can remember but still a Marine. My kid went in about a year ago he is an 0311 and thinks everyone else is a "POG" he will feel different if and when the S*#t hits the fan and close Air Support does it's thing or needs extraction from a hot LZ we are all Marines ... Every Marine a rifleman... no matter what MOS. Like youself I choose an MOS that has served me well long after retirement.
