What should I expect as I transition from the Marines to Army Cav Scouts? What are some do's and don'ts?

Sgt James Gould- Is there an update to this post. I'd like to hear how the transition from Marines to Army Cav is working out. I have some recommendations also.

Continue being a good Marine, good Marines make good soldiers.

I went from the Marine Corps to the Army back in the '80s. Was made to go through basic again though the Drill Sergeant's knew of my back ground so wasn't hassled. It will be what you make of it but they are both different in the way they approach situations.

Don't say Ooo-Rah. Lmao. Just a little light humor

When we got our Marine we loved his ability to "repurpose" equipment.
We needed to clear a path... we asked for an axe.. he found a chainsaw.. love our Marine.

You will be Cav..nuff said..

Do get your head on straight. Don't act like you know what's going on because the moment you think you do you don't. I had a regimental safety officer Chief Warrant Officer3 Elig. He had been a marine enlisted. Did his time. Decided he wanted to be a soldier. He said it was quite different being a Marine then it was being a soldier and he wasn't even a scout. He flew Blackhawks. I had even seen during training at Fort Knox soldiers who had been in service and were seeking a new MOS. They even said scout training was nothing like they had ever seen. 19 Delta training is described as the hardest basic MOS in the army. So my suggestion to you is to expect the worst and prepare for the worst because if you were doing this in Fort Knox you would be going up heartbreak and agony the two hills that you wouldn't even want to drive up let alone ruck

I was Army Guard (88M, you call them Motor T) and we were assigned to the 1st Marines, 1st FSSG when we were sent to Iraq. It was really easy to work with those guys once we both learned some of the different terms we each used.

You should have no problem fitting into your new unit. Just be sure to take some time to figure it out and don't think that just because something is different it's wrong. It's just different.

I went from the USMC to the Army and USAF. It was a bit of a shock when I went Army. I always had a fear in the back of my mind that when I called a SFC or Ssgt just Sgt that it was a set up and I would pay for it. On the other hand I was called Jarhead in every Army unit I was in. I took it with pride. Just take what you learned in the Corps and apply it to the Army. Just don't be an ass about it. Be open to learning what the Army has to offer. Combine it all and you'll be fine.

My unit has several prior USMC.
