MOS COMPARISON

3002 vs PA

Ground Supply Officer (USMC) vs Public Affairs Specialist (USCG)

Intel

One runs toward gunfire. The other runs toward Category 5 hurricanes. Both are brave. Neither has a good explanation for why.

What the brochure didn't mention about 3002: your requisition process has more steps than a moon landing and fewer successful outcomes. You'll explain to a battalion commander why the parts aren't here yet using words like 'backordered,' 'funding constraints,' and 'the system says it shipped' while he looks at you like you personally lost his equipment. What the brochure forgot about PA: the helicopter rescue shoots happen and when they do, the footage is genuinely extraordinary and civilian media runs it. Two MOS codes that coexist in the same military the way a submarine and a golf cart both qualify as "vehicles."
