Danimal,
I really haven’t used my ME all that much though it has helped in aircraft mishap investigations and even more useful in GWOT/CA/CSS type stuff. The latter would have been better served with a CE vice ME but no real practical work since leaving college.
Had a good chance a TPS at one point and talked to a couple of bubbas that went that route, decided I preferred the tactical/operational side of the house.
Don’t know if you have the same Admiral running the SEABEES over there as in 04/05 but if it is he is a hell of a leader.
Talking to USMC engineers there are no MOSs like the SEEBEES where a PE is required and thus encouraged. Speaking personally, not for the USMC or the government, I think it would behoove the country as a whole to get a path towards PE for these individuals.
Fall of 06 I was supposed to down to Austin to speak engineering seniors about becoming a Marine officer and the importance having an engineering degree. This was to be a own hall type affair with the other services represented. When I went over my proposed presentation that leadership, ability to command and people skills were far more important than basic engineering skills they found someone else.
S/F, FOG
