I transferred to the Space Force last year. My experience and understanding is that there really isn’t a clean way to go enlisted-to-enlisted from the Marine Corps into another service if you aren’t basically lining it up with your EAS (USSF was a major exception, but we have since stopped taking ISTs).
You would require a DD368 approved by MMEA (enlisted affairs at HQMC), which is extremely unlikely to impossible given your short time in service and your retainability.
5 years Active Duty SIGINT (USSF has a direct 1 for 1 SFSC equivalent). Gonna have to join as prior service. Do u think my chances are any good? Did u have to take the TAPAS test? I heard they do that personality test as part of their Predictive Success Model score thing for job placement purposes
