…: What are the jobs that female marines are able to get that are closest to combat?
I’m going to MEPS in two weeks, I still don’t know what job I’m eligible for. I got a 62 on the asvab. I know women cant have infantry or artillery jobs but what are the jobs closest to an infantry job that as a female I can see myself asking for?

There is no job like the one you ask for. There are no jobs that are “close” to infantry or “kinda” like infantry. Infantry handles all the infantry type duties.

Think about this: You enlist as a cook. While going from point A to point B in a convoy you get attacked. You now see action and must defend yourself.

Very often it is where you end up and it is what your unit’s mission is that dictates if you go out and see any sort of action. So me telling you what job may get you “out of the wire” does you no good unless you actually went to a unit that leaves the wire.

Just pick a job you want to do and stop looking for action. You may want to see action, but I promise you that you don’t.

Military Police. Nothing is like infantry unless its infantry but Military Police do some cool things.
