I have searched on line, tried askabout.com and checked here under "Find", but I still can't locate the info. If anyone knows what these Marine job abbreviations stand for, could you let me know. I am trying to study up on them. Thanks:
AE, AJ,B6, B7, B8, BA, BX, BY, CA, CE, CJ, Cl, CM, CN, DB, E4, UV

Where'd you find all those? Hopefully someone that used to be a recruiter will be around to help you out with those. What MOS do you want?

I requested 02,03,26, and 43. My recruiters say they can't get me one in those areas even though I am qualified. They have been hard selling me not to wait for one of those fields. This is a list of jobs they want me to consider. I told them I would.That's why I am trying to get info on what the abbreviations mean so I can look them up at least by occ.fld.

Those are two-character codes for enlistment options.

I do not believe your recruiter just gave you a list of those codes without any other information. There is quite a bit to know about each one.

Each enlistment option may have more than one MOS Field and each field may have many MOS's.

When you sign up into an enlistment option, you are guaranteed to get one of the MOS's in the enlistment option - if you pass all the requirements.

What I found on the net listed below is 5 years old. Some may be the same today while some may have changed.

You need to go over each and every one of these with your recruiter. He has the latest scoop on each one of these enlistment options.

There may be substantial bonuses tied to some of these. Make sure you ask about it.

Do a Google search for "MCO 1130.53P W CH 1" (without the quotes, of course). Download the Adobe file. This is the MCO on Enlistment Options straight off the Marine Corps Website. Most up-to-date information you'll find. Hope this helps.

I seem to remember you mentioning in another thread that you were interested in the UH(Infantry) option. If this is still true, and the Recruiter is offering you a UV option, then you should consider taking that. In the UV option, you'll be an Infantryman as well. Read the Marine Corps Order I told you to download for more information on this option.

GySgt of Marines,

I did not post a link to the MCO because it is dated 2002.

The most up-to-date information can be found at your Recruiter's office.

Understood DeepRecon...I will admit, I didn't check the date on the MCO, but I did download it right from the MCRC (Marine Corps Recruiting Command) website, so I was just assuming it must be the most current available. It's the same one I have on my shelf from when I left Recruiting Duty at the end of 2004. Anyhow, thanks for pointing that out, because you're right - there may very well be something more up-to-date.

The categories are

AE AVIATION SUPPORT
AF AVIATION MECHANIC
AG AIR CREW/FLIGHT MECH/NAVIGATOR

Hope this helps. If you want more info on individual options let me know.

I have a question to add to this. What is the difference between "Military Police and Corrections" and Marine Corps Security Forces." Thanks.

The first one rides a radio car, while the other is a brig-pig (baby sits inmates). The second one protects embassies, consults, and naval installations.

UT MILITARY POLICE & CORRECTIONS cop and jailer
UV MARINE CORPS SECURITY FORCES guarding overseas post
UW MARINE CORPS SECURITY FORCES (PRP)guarding stateside naval installations

how do you get a UZ contract? can you get it before you go to basic or is that impossible because of the whole "Trying out for recon" after basic thing?
