In Reply to: OT: Revisited Diesel Mechanics and Math Question (Marines) posted by SweetFeet on June 10, 2012 at 12:02:08:

SweetFeet,

I agree with Wisbaker and JDSeller. I work on an installation as a Civilian and the Air Force or Coast Guard would probably be the best choice.

Very few Marines actually stay in and retire after 20 years. Your Son might benefit from the new Retirement rules that will probably be enacted to equalize retirement/cut costs but I've seen very few Marines serve beyond two enlistments. Most of my friends or people that I've known that went USMC got out after the first.

Coast Guard promotes the fastest at least for the case of my best friend. He's been in seven years and is ready to make chief and probably earn a full commission.

Air Force is going through a huge restructuring. They can't afford to replace the planes and keep the old ones fixed. My buddy who got an 86 on his ASVAB went Crew Chief...80s are what gets you into intelligence.

Learning how to navigate the newer weapons systems and programming will give him an edge.

Take it from a guy who had Math Anxiety and has ADD. Your son can learn the math. It might take him a bit, but if I can improve my math skills, he can too.

As much as I'd like to fly for the AF, when I graduate and apply for OTS this coming year, I'm hoping I get intelligence.Lots of fun toys and opportunities to do some really cool stuff.

Christos

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Hydraulics - The Basics - by Curtis Von Fange. Hydraulics was one of the greatest inventions for helping man compound the work he can do. It’s amazing how a little floor jack can lift tons and tons of weight with just the flick of a handle. What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul ...
