Of course anything is possible, but would it actually happen?Cross Train from Motor Vehicle Operator to Infantry during First Enlistment?2018-10-11T08:52:57-04:00Sgt John Steinmeier4036554<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Without going into to far flung details I have been told by a recent new hire, is it possible in the Marine Corps to cross train from Motor Vehicle Operator to Infantry inside of one's first enlistment?

I was contract infantry, but was attached to a MP unit. So technically I was cross trained as an MP. But did not get formal training. Nor did I rate the perks, ie..pistol badge I had to buy.Response by Sgt Larry Irvine made Oct 13 at 2018 7:13 AM2018-10-13T07:13:08-04:002018-10-13T07:13:08-04:00Sgt Phil Quintana4047694<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I never saw it happen. I saw some Marines pick up a secondary MOS and do something different within the company/regiment but completely change their MOS.Response by Sgt Phil Quintana made Oct 15 at 2018 12:29 PM2018-10-15T12:29:06-04:002018-10-15T12:29:06-04:00Sgt Julio Fierros4050390<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes...i was a squad leader in Iraq for Romeo btry...they were selected to be a infantry rifle platoon in 07 and I was selected as one to lead along with other sgts from all the different sections...it was awesome...made me lat move 0311 cuz I loved it so muchResponse by Sgt Julio Fierros made Oct 16 at 2018 12:22 PM2018-10-16T12:22:02-04:002018-10-16T12:22:02-04:00LCpl Bill McIntire4077858<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I was 3531 myself!
