Multi-branch schools

[WARPIG]

I have been to a couple US ARMY schools where US MARINES have trained with us. Airborne school and MP reclassification. I assume SRT and PSD schools are also availible for Devil Dogs. Any one know what other schools have mulit-branch curriculum?

[Laconian]

As far as I know, all of the Army's schools can be attended by the other services (the Q-course may be the exception, here). Marines routinely attend the Ranger course, the Officer Advanced Courses (Infantry , Armor, FA, etc.), CAS cubed, C&GS, and the War Colleges. Army officers can also attend the other services career courses as well.

I do not know if the Noncommissioned officer courses (BNCOC, ANCOC, and the SGM Academy) are open to the other branches.

That any help?

[WARPIG]

Sort of. I knew a lot of officers tend to cross train among branches. I didn't know about ranger school though. I assume Air assault is open to Marines too? I guess I was looking for those more specialized schools. For instance I know there is a Marine school that teaches some tactical driving in the Armored HMMWVs. Can I go too? Is the Personal Security Schools, tactical driving, psyop, language, and those kind of schools all open to other branches?

What schools have some of you members gone to that were open to other branches?

As far as languages go, Montarey is certainly purple, I went over for a conference a few years back and we've sent a few guys there for courses too.

Just throwing some out there

As far as I know, most all MOS schools are multi-service (mine was) NCO schools? I don't think so. The basic training schools are service specific.

[James]

USMC runs its own NCO courses. I never saw anyone from another service attend, but I can't tell you for sure.

[Dominique]

A lot of the MOS scholls are open to other services and the Army trains the almost all the Marines combat arms (except INF), combat support, and combat service support MOS's.

As far as joint Army service schools go, I know Pre-Ranger, Ranger, Airborne, Jumpmaster, Military Free Fall, MFF Jumpmaster, Rappel Master, Air Assault, Pathfinder, Rigger, Sniper, Combatant Diver, Sling Load, etc, most of the courses at JFKSWCS, and quite a few others.

The Air Force, Navy, and USMC also run schools that are attended by other services also. Most of the schools have websites up with info available. Your best bet is to check and see what your unit will allow you to go to.

Warpig,

All DoD schools (regardless of branch) are available to any member of the DoD who's command is willing to fund and sign off on the course (travel pay may not be authorized), after the member has shown that they meet the min. qualifications for the course and have shown a need for TNG (if it is out of the norm.) that member is good to go. Just remember just because you are not in the branch of service that is instructing does not mean that you don't have to meet their standards to continue or graduate.

[WARPIG]

Thanks for the info. I suspected as much. This includes BUDS, Q course, ETC right? If one of my nuckleheads in the ARMY wants to apply to go to BUDS, getting a packet accepted and the funding are what need to happen right?
I was curious because I will be working in unit retention and will have to try and get schools and other branch service records issues worked out for my soldiers.

That place is the **** - I moved from Ord to Monterey and it was amazing the difference 20 miles can make!

The only thing that sucks is being woken up by the fog creeping in your open window or those damn sealions barking all the time.

[WARPIG]

I wake up to the sound of the highway and hayfever.

I hate you guys.

So the sea lions are still barking :P Great school. Even better location. Our classrooms were on top of the hill right across the street from our barracks. Off-duty in Monterey is also super if only for the great jazz clubs and nearby wineries. It was also great that San Francisco is nearby.

DLI has always been a joint services school as well as for civilian agencies when I attended ages ago. There is also a joint intelligence training school at Goodfellow AFB, TX. Our Army class in 1966 was the first to attend.

Hell during my first trip to DLI the first astronauts to link up w/MIR were attending classses. I always wanted to live there for longer thatn a class duration.

EOD school is attended by all four branches, officer and enlisted together. The Navy owns the school.

f- you guys. I had a chance to go to DLI, but I didn't take it...now I'll have to go to Bragg for language. Blech.

[WARPIG]

FT Leonardwood is where most Military Police go to school. There is a PSD and driving school there. Is that were some of the SF get their PSD training as well? I was told I might be able to go to the school. It looks like some pretty cool training.. weapons training from moving vehicles.. tactical driving.. civilian clothes..etc.

Your going to get spanish you rock-head!

I hope you get Mandarin.

.......
In reality good luck with Arabic or Farsi!
:lol:

[EODSGT]

I've worked with some PSD/SRT MP's. They're the only two jobs I'd want to do if I were in the MP corps (which should tell you something).

I had a number of conversations with them, and they told me an interesting thing you might want to be aware of - once you get PSD or SRT qualled, you tend to get pigeonholed into those slots from then on. Which is great if you love PSD/SRT work, not so great if career progression as an MP is your goal. Just a thought.

Well, Fayetteville on payday night can be interesting :P

Warpig,

Don't misunderstand me when I said "a need for training must be given". That "NEED" is usually decided by that individual school or its sponsoring command. Unless you get a O-6 (O-7 in some cases) or above to sign off on your package, you have a 40/60 chance for denial based upon failure to meet "MIN. STANDARDS". I'm only telling you this so that you don't (w/ good intentions and your CO's approval) promise schools for re-enlistment and then find out that as a M.P. you have no need to attend the S.F. Q-course or the Naval Avation program.
