>>3636374Communication Strategy and Operations (COMMSTRAT) is what we call it. You join that at enlistment and then you get specialized as a photo, video, or graphics Marine. Job school is fun, DINFOS in Maryland, great place to be. As far as your unit, operation units are the grunt ones (like the divisions or MEF’s). There are lesser operational ones (like MLG’s or MAW’s) and then there are base units what do studio photos and passports. Here, 2D MARDIV, we do a lot of field stuff but it’s kinda dotted within long spouts of doing nothing. We do some training, we make sure most of us can keep up with the grunts but when we get to go out, it’s normally a blast! We get to shoot along with everyone else, see every aspect of the Corps and bring back dope shots to show off. It’s definitely the best path if you want to do photography professionally.
