![]() ![]() I am not a feminist - by any strench of the imagination. Thank goodness it never affected me in this light. How it affected their self-esteem and sense of self-value. Our male counterparts have no sense of the deepth of demoralization this caused many women over the years. However, we as women, have certainly encountered our own fair share of this type of bashing. Imagine if they had been Marines!īoth women were shot, injured, and still kept on fighting! Totally invalidated the arguements I have heard over the years from - you guess it - our male counterparts. These women were not even trained in infantry - and look how well they performed with the miminium of training. The Army gets to "glow" in the credit of this one. Jesscia Lynch and the other woman held as a POW in Iraq were not Marines. With the recent events demonstrating that women perform just as admirably as their male counterparts during the time of challenge, it is my hope that more MOS's and therefore more opportunities will open up to women in the Marine Corps. There will always be one or two bad apples in the barrel. Perhaps they have and the insecure man who had this affect over you is one of very few. I had hope that during the last twenty years things had changed. Sorry to say, get use to this type of female demoralization. "Yeah, like I told you, you can't be a REAL Marine!" In his eyes the only REAL Marines are Marines with an 03xx MOS. Yesterday I was trying to convince someone that I, a female, could become a Marine. my Brothers have a tendency to remove posts that are offensive If they would let me say "**** You" I coulda left it at thatĪs all who post.this is my opinion.read quick. I AM a Marine and I AM Forever 0311.One of the "get sum" "Do It" MoFos I was 0311 the total time in the Corps and as far as I'm concerned The Best Marines In my modest 0311 opinion are the Marines that do not under-mind ANY of the MOS's.Īs far as setting an example for some wanna Be.you do that lefty, cream-puff, politically correct crap. U 2 phunny Moween.I am squared away.aparentlly you are spectin too much from a 0311.I asked for 0311 and had to giv'em (The Corps) 4 years to guarantee me I would get 0311. Square yourself away, Marine, and make a better example for our young recruit! Anyone who flies off the handle and uses profanity without actually reading a mail closely, and without giving a fellow Marine the benefit of the doubt, is not doing the readers of this board any service. It is simply the case that the Marine Corps needs more of these than it does any other MOS, and this is usually the catch-all. I didn't include any adjectives around the phrase "0311" nor did I give any indication that this was somehow an inferior MOS. Unfortunately for the poolee, he has just learned that not all Marines are as helpful and polite as most of those on this board. Any advice you all could provide would be great. But in this case I have been given the impression that is simple to change my MOS since there is slots open for my position and I am fully qualified. ![]() I want to trust the Master Sergeant but my intution tells me to be sure and if push comes to shove do not get on that final bus going to Parris Island if I am unsure about My MOS (Assurance in my opinion would be seeing a form in my packet that lists me as Combat Engineer) I am in no way trying to back out and I want with all my heart to be a Marine and attend bootcamp in May but I do not want to go in as a cook (no offence intended to any cooks out there) I'm all about not putting myself before the Marine Corps and if the Marine Corps really needs me to be a cook then I will be the 1st in line to do so. ![]() I wasn't upset since I want to get it changed anyway but then My Recruiter had me sign a document saying that I expect my MOS to be 0381 (Cook basically) and they gave me this big long speech about how the reserves don't really do anything MOS related except for your schooling but your reserve weekends are pretty much integrated with everyone even though he gave me his word that he would do everything in his power to get it changed befoe I left for bootcamp (may 12th). For some reason they put 0381 instead and they had me listed as a Food Service Specialist. ![]() AFter going through class and a little PT i went to talk to the Master Sergeant about changing my MOS (0481 or what it should be) to 1371 Combat Engineer. ![]()
