"THE WORD" at tbs right now about API

2.5-4 month wait seems pretty short. I hope that the wait is that short, but realistically I would expect closer to 6 months. At least IFS will keep you busy for part of it.

haha...when they gave us that same brief at TBS they told us about 3-4 months....9 months later I classed up for API. The only "good" stash jobs are the AMS' or what was called LEAD, now its something else. At least there you are working with Marines. If you can find a cush job in some obscure corner that keeps you from duty and all the tardness that is the MOC you've succeeded.

It's call MAT (Marines Awaiting Training) now. Those guys had some crazy hours. Try to get on the funeral detail. Work for a few hours a week, wear the blues, give honors to a Marine who deserves it, and it keeps you off the duty list. (At least it did while I was there)

Ball committee = 4 months of beach time, one month of work, and a NAM. Sorry I'm not sorry.

Is it safe to assume that the earlier I check in the more options I'll have when it comes to stash jobs (needs of the Marine Corps assumed)?

What is this ball committee? Any other obscure stash job recommendations?

When I went through there were a few awesome obscure ones, but I think they got rid of alot of those.

I was actually in there recently and it looked like guys are showing up, doing IFS right away, and checking in to API pretty shortly thereafter.

Christ, time flies. I'm seeing a lot of the characters that commissioned around the time did with these pretty little gold wings. And a few after...
