I say might because there’s about a 33 percent chance of passing scout sniper school, even after all of the previous selections and rigorous training. Normally, after one deployment with the sniper platoon, or about a year of intense training, the senior scout snipers may notice you have potential to do great as a sniper, and you might get sent to scout sniper school where you might become a HOG (hunter of gunmen). After the screener, if the senior scout snipers believe you are one of the top infantry marines above your peers, you’ll be selected and graduate to become a PIG (Professionally instructed gunman). ![]() It’s usually two weeks of hell that the volunteers, known as slugs (Slow Lazy Untrained Grunts), are put through. Being trained in so many multifaceted areas opens the door for jobs in a wide range of fields: construction, FBI bomb squad, weapon manufacturing/testing, just to name a few. Job outlook after the military: Engineers have one of the best job outlooks once phasing back into civilian life. You will then go to boot camp, Marine Combat Training and finally engineer school. If you want to be sure you are focusing on the right areas to succeed on the ASVAB, talk to a recruiter and let them know you want to be a 1371.Īs long as your ASVAB is high enough, a recruiter should put you in a combat engineer slot. You must have decent math skills as well as show mechanical aptitude. First, you must score high enough on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery, or ASVAB, to meet the minimum requirements. Named one of the world’s toughest schools by the Marine Corps, combat engineers must be intellectually and physically able to adapt to any battlefield challenge.īecoming a combat engineer is pretty straightforward. We also note that authorities and policies are still under review and development, and command and control structures are still in flux.How to become one: This job is not for the faint of heart. We considered only officers because there is no enlisted space MOS in the USMC.įinally, we have several caveats, the biggest being that the space domain, USSF, and USSPACECOM are undergoing many changes and the other services and CCDRs are trying to organize for the moving target that is space. Space MOS designations include 1706, 1786 (currently 0540), and 8866. For the purposes of this study, we define a Space Marine as any Marine in a billet designated for a holder of a Space MOS, whether located in the Fleet Marine Force (FMF), in the supporting establishment, or at MARFORSPACE. SMEs included current and recent Space Marines at three Headquarters Marine Corps (HQMC) Deputy Commandants-Information (DC I) Plans, Policy, and Operations (DC PP&O) and Combat Development and Integration (DC CD&I)-and at Marine Corps Forces, US Space Command (MARFORSPACE), the Marine service component to USSPACECOM. Literature included DOD publications, USMC concepts, MARADMINs, NAVMC Orders, Marine Corps Orders, prior CNA research, Army publications, news articles, and US Space Force (USSF) and US Space Command (USSPACECOM) documentation. We reviewed the development of “Space Marines” through a literature review, discussions with subject matter experts (SMEs), and an examination of Marine Corps space-related billets. To that end, we examined the following questions: What are the Marine Corps’ space equities? What are the Corps’ organizations and billets to address its equities and develop its strategy for the space domain? And what are the bigger issues (challenges and opportunities) for the Corps at its current stage of space development? We provide a brief discussion of these questions in this information memorandum. From protecting the homeland and fighting our nation’s wars alongside allies and partners, to providing humanitarian assistance, space makes the achievements of America’s military possible.” – USSPACECOM IntroductionĪs the space domain becomes increasingly important to the US and Marine Corps forces, the service has made several changes, but big questions remain to ensure it is prepared for the future operating environment and possible new roles and responsibilities in the space domain. ![]() Space enables our national security to preserve our way of life. “From commerce to meteorology to global communications, society not only relies on space capabilities, it expects the services they provide to always be present.
