    I’m a SGT in the Marine Corps, I have been in about five and half years. I am curious if it is possible to transfer to the Air Force, or once my contract with the Marine Corps expires join the Air Force and attempt to pursure the Pararescue MOS. I’m an 0311 in the Marine Corps, basically just an infantryman on his fourth combat deployment over here in Afghanistan. I know that does not transfer all to well to Pararescue. I plan on talking to a recruiter when i get home from this deployment, but any information I could be provided with would be greatly apprieciated. Thank you for your time.
