You
will be stationed at one of the following bases if your job is active
duty 03xx-infantry or if your job gets stationed with an infantry
battalion. Yes folks, infantry battalions do have other jobs other than
grunt jobs. Some examples are radio operator, admin, intel, armorer, and several others.
The bulk of you
will end up at either Camp Lejeune or Camp Pendleton since these are
the larger bases with the most grunt battalions. Hawaii has the least,
so if you get sent there, consider your ass one lucky mother fucker and
Aloha means hello and goodbye.
Note: Okinawa,
Japan does not have permanent grunt units where you can be stationed as
a new Marine. You may eventually deploy there, but you wont be heading
there right after grunt school.
- Camp Pendleton, CA
- Camp Lejeune, NC
- 29 Palms, CA

These
are the larger bases were you will most likely end up. Not every MCAS
has the same type of aircraft, so the aircraft you end up working on
will dictate which bases you can end up in. Other MOS's such as
communications, engineers, admin, supply, and many others will also be
stationed at these bases with the exception of the combat MOS's.
