00:04.599 --> 00:06.710
What got me interested in joining the

00:06.710 --> 00:08.432
Marine Corps was looking for a

00:08.432 --> 00:10.599
brotherhood , looking for leadership ,

00:10.599 --> 00:12.766
looking for courage , looking to serve

00:12.766 --> 00:14.988
my country , and looking to get outside

00:14.988 --> 00:17.210
my comfort zone and try something new .

00:17.210 --> 00:19.377
As a 6614 , we responsible for all the

00:19.377 --> 00:21.599
electronic components in our aircraft .

00:21.599 --> 00:23.766
We go hand in hand with the next . And

00:23.766 --> 00:25.821
our mechanics work on the engine and

00:25.821 --> 00:27.877
anything airframe related , um , but

00:27.877 --> 00:29.655
our main priority is electronic

00:29.655 --> 00:31.655
components . The SRB is a selective

00:31.655 --> 00:33.710
retention bonus , and it's a payment

00:33.710 --> 00:33.279
that you get on top of your usual

00:33.279 --> 00:35.520
salary . It's given to Marines who are

00:35.520 --> 00:38.229
exemplary and who have qualifications ,

00:38.270 --> 00:40.548
and they fit into their respective MOS .

00:40.810 --> 00:42.588
So me , I was a collateral duty

00:42.588 --> 00:44.477
inspector on the RT-21 . Once the

00:44.477 --> 00:46.643
reenlistment came up for me , I talked

00:46.643 --> 00:48.810
to my career planner , and she told me

00:48.810 --> 00:50.977
that I qualified . Based on all of the

00:50.977 --> 00:50.669
hard work that I put in , all the

00:50.669 --> 00:52.836
qualifications that I had previously ,

00:53.029 --> 00:55.196
and it was just an extra kicker on top

00:55.196 --> 00:57.362
of what I was already getting , I plan

00:57.362 --> 00:59.473
on honestly saving it . I want to put

00:59.473 --> 01:01.640
it in a high yield savings and see how

01:01.640 --> 01:03.862
far it can go . I knew I wanted to stay

01:03.862 --> 01:05.862
in , and I think seeing all the new

01:05.862 --> 01:07.696
Marines around me and seeing the

01:07.696 --> 01:09.807
progression and seeing the future for

01:09.807 --> 01:12.029
this MOS is what really motivated me to

01:12.029 --> 01:14.140
stay in and re-enlist , and I want to

01:14.140 --> 01:16.362
be a part of it all . I would recommend

01:16.362 --> 01:18.585
for anyone interested in SRBs , talk to

01:18.585 --> 01:18.419
their career planners , see what

01:18.419 --> 01:20.641
opportunities they have available , and

01:20.641 --> 01:22.752
they should be able to give you every

01:22.752 --> 01:22.129
answer on that .
