Hsst Puns

Calling all current and former recruiters! So I’ve ended up on the HSST list for FY22 unfortunately... Im going to submit a package for recruiting duty. What are the PROS and CONS of recruiting duty? Do I get to pick my location for recruiting? Any information will be appreciated.

I have a buddy who is a Marine who just recently got HSST’d. He said this would push him towards either being a recruiter or a drill instructor. I have never served and am not familiar with all of the Jargon I see in other posts/ threads related to this on here. I was wondering if anyone could dumb this down for me. Specifically , what is the process of being HSST’d. Who is selected and why? are you selected at random once promoted to sergeant or is it something that you must be qualified for? Or am I completely wrong and it’s because you fucked up or failed some evals? If it was your choice, would you prefer the recruiter aspect or drill instructor and why? Any help on the explanation of an HSST would be greatly appreciated.

Hey gents quick question. I was already putting a package in to volunteer for DI then I got hsst’ed Obviously not getting any bonus or anything like that , and HQ really decides what I’m going to do. However, I was wondering if I write in my comments section that I would prefer DI and also had my chain recommendation added as well what is the likelihood of HQ even taking that into consideration? Any info would help!

Just out of curiosity.

What would happen if you don’t complete your HSST package? NJP? Ad-Sep?

Does anyone know a MARADMIN that elaborates on this ? So far it seems like a hidden rumor that happens to random people.

Anyone got a copy of the HSST list if its out already? Kinda curious if I made it so I can start mentally preparing to get that long stroke of the Corps

I have a Draw case code of BK(Selected for HSST), I also have a code of Z7. What does the Z7 mean.

If a Marine denies and get the RE-3O code does that limit them from joining the reserves? Additionally, if that marine got a tattoo after the package was submitted, would that disqualify the Marine in any way? (Yes, it is within Regs.) Thanks all.

Anybody have the link to it for this year?

Anyone know when it’s coming out?

Thought I'd managed to evade and escape this the first time it came around, but it looks like the Corps is determined to snatch me up. Thanks to my tattoos, Recruiter and MSG are off the table, but DI and CI have already guaranteed me a waiver ^^^hooray so I'm on the shortlist for one of these billets.

What I'm looking for is info, specifically irt how bad this may fuck up my family life considering I'm not married, but do sometimes enjoy spending time with my dog and my girlfriend. What are the daily hours like? Housing? Libbo? Leave policy?

Digging through the archives of r/usmc hasn't been much help, so I figure you Deviled Eggs could help a brotha out. Thanks in advance.

I just went to a Marsoc brief today and told them I wasn't interested, my gunny walks up to me about 4 hours later and tells me they HSST'ed me, what exactly does this mean for me?

I’ve read here that you get some code and can’t re-enlist or get promoted. I’m personally told your EAS moves up to the graduation date of the class you would have gone to. So which is it?

HSST. That was something I learned about when I first got to the Fleet and heard a bunch of Corporals and Sergeants hating their life because they got "HSSTed" for an SDA like DI, Recruiting, Combat Instructor. How exactly does it work? Does the HSST board just take the best Marines in each MOS?

Hi everyone I need some help I reenlisted fy15 with a duty station incentive and have been given orders however they were pulled (I'm not sure why) and now I am on the hsst I am being told that I will not be able to pcs now even though I have that reenlistment perk.

Hello brothers,

Sailorette here, married to a SGT in the marines. He’s on that HSST list, which really throws a wrench in our upcoming plans to get orders to Hawaii (and at the same time). We are officially colocated and also I’m pregnant.

I’ve tried google with no results.

Any insight on how dual mil works with this? Do you think that would be enough to disqualify him? Any experience with this is much appreciated!

I’m reenlisting, don’t want to get HSST’d, my shop is Bias towards recruiters given they were prior recruiters, haven’t talked to any prior DIs yet; but what are the pros and cons, I’ll be talking with the Career Jammer soon. Thanks.

Edit: Yeah after reading this, DI seems like it would be the smarter choice.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Do your worst!

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

Does anyone know how SDAs/HSST is taking the new Tattoo Policy? Specifically Recruiting. I’m HSSTd and have a class date already and was wondering if they’re still being strict on allowing Marines with tattoos. I don’t have any tattoos as of right now and was wondering if I got one that’s in regulation with the new policy, (half sleeve from elbow down), would they have an issue? Obviously don’t need the tattoo any time soon if it’s gonna cause issues.

They’re on standbi

Buenosdillas

Pilot on me!!

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

When I got home, they were still there.

What did 0 say to 8 ?

" Nice Belt "

So What did 3 say to 8 ?

" Hey, you two stop making out "

I won't be doing that today!
