GO search the AP for a story on anything related to the Marines and it will be capitalized if talking about a US Marine. Hell, even Encyclopedia Britannica capitalizes Marine when talking about US Marines. Oh.. and CNN too...

I got a 74, I was happy with it. I scored the intel job I wanted. No studying, no cares. Hell, your going in the Marines, your score barely matters!
If you wanna go shoot stuff (yes, I'm being sterotypical) I'd go in the Army and get a NICE bonus, and find somone who is in the Army and get them to "refer" you. Said person gets $2k, and could split it with you. However I will assume that you want to be a Marine because you are determined and want to be part of an elite group of soliders that have proved themselves. That I commend you for wanting to serve your country. I on the other hand have DEP'd with the country club... Go Air Force! ------------- USAF Special Weapons Technician. |

Good Scores.
98god, with a 74 you will be able to do anything you want,aslong as you don't get dq'd at MEPS for anything. And by " you will be able to do anything ", enjoy them picking your job. I'm sure you already know that you pick a field and they pick your actual job. ------------- USAF Special Weapons Technician. |

If you ask me, "marines" should not be capitalized unless referring to a specific group of marines, such as the US Marines, the (Insert your town name) Marines (Insert your sport) team, etc. Just the way I look at it though. -------------

Marines gets capatalized when speaking about the US Marines, but when talking about something else like marine animals, then it does not. |

I scored a 90 with a GT of 136. Did not land the intel job, and my pill popping, greedy, cowardly recruiter for some reason wasn't able to convince anyone to get me into the MOS I wanted. Lol at linus pwning English skills. Don't rely on spell check for everything. |

Rednekk- What MOS were you trying to get into? Seems like you did pretty well. I don't remember my GT and all that jazz but my ASQT was a 74 and with the Army that almost made me a flippin genius. In the Marines it made me a genius and in the Navy and Air Force it made me average and maybe a little above (but not much) ------------- USAF Special Weapons Technician. |

It depends on the intel. I missed out on "Imagery Analyst" but I got Inteligence Applications which covers a broad range of intel subjects. The different branches have differenct requirments for the same intel position. Again like everything else it just depends.

Probaly so. But this is how the conversation normally goes when I talk to someone who thinks they are the #%$* for scoring a 90. Please note that I'm not talkin about anyone on here.
Bob- I scored a 90 on my ASVAB Me- Good job Bob- What did you score Me- Enough to be having this conversation with you. I got bonus points though Bob- How Me- I scored your MOM bob-

Well.. it's complicated. My primary MOS was technically Intel Intercept Operator, 2631. I just don't generally discuss it because the exact nature of the MOS and my entire secondary MOS designation is protected under an NDA for another 85 years.
Suffice to say, we have folks on the Intel side, especially on the intercept and linguistics side of the fence, assigned to Ops that aren't talked about in public. ------------- Real Men Love Cheeses |
