In the Navy, at the Pentagon, there is one office that does address uniform changes / updates. You mentioned: "work in the uniforms.making changes and updates." Individually they may have to wait on Limdu assignment for 6 months or as long as 4 years in some cases. Those Limdus will commonly work outside of their rate, on base, and they will be put in charge of the 'Awaiting' company, or the 'X' division, or the Base Quarterdeck. Sailors of mixed rates and NECs, who can not go to sea, due to medical reasons. If the Navy had a horse-drawn hearse, the ceremonial unit would maintain the hearse and any horses.Įach Navy base will also commonly have a half-dozen E6s or E7s, who are on Lumdu assignment. It is the job of E1 to E3 seaman who are awaiting to get into a school, to learn their assigned NEC. The Navy has a long list of NECs, being on a ceremonial unit is not a NEC. They are expected to maintain their own equipment and uniforms, and they do ceremonies at funerals.

They are issued chrome helmets and chromed rifles. Each Navy base has a ceremonial unit, and draws bodies from the 'awaiting' company to provide those bodies. Those seaman go into an 'awaiting' company where they each wait before they can go on to school. Maybe their security clearance hit a snag, or there is some detail in their personnel file that causes them to wait 3 months before they can continue their career. If it were a Navy ceremonial unit stationed at a Navy base, those people would be supplied from an 'awaiting' company.Įach Navy school has an 'awaiting' unit, made up of seamen who are waiting for their class-up date.

The Marines keep a few horses for ceremonial units. I did 20+ years in the Navy, I know how the Navy does things. I do not know exhaustively how the Marines do things. There are Marines who work in the uniforms.making changes and updates. I know there are Marines who care for the horses.that's all they do.

After re-reading your post, it may be that the recruiter only had openings in the MOS's listed when you visited. Even though my military specialty was Aircraft Maintenance, I served in several staff jobs away from the flight line once I became a Non-Commissioned Officer. At the next assignment, you could work in the base gym.

For example, you might have the "Services" MOS and at one assignment you may work in the base hotel. The USAF even has at least one specialty that involves boats! (There's a squadron at either Eglin or Tyndall AFB, FL that maintains aircraft targets out in the Gulf of Mexico, if it hasn't been contracted to a civilian company since I retired.) All of the services have "special duty identifiers" for very unusual jobs like couriers, recruiters and other jobs that a military member may do for a few years and return to their "normal" MOS.Īdditionally, there may be MANY jobs within a particular MOS. "Prisoner", "On Administrative Hold", and other unusual cases are listed. In addition to all of the normal jobs, they have codes for other status, as well.
#Enlisted marine corps mos list code#
The Air Force version lists EVERY specialty code ("Air Force Specialty Code" or "AFSC" for the Air Force MOS for the rest, I believe) that Airmen are classified under. Certainly the personnel office on a Marine Corps base will have one. I would imagine that every recruiter has one. There should be a chart with every MOS that the branch of service has. Hi VegasGrace! I am only sure about the Air Force but I'd imagine that all branches have more or less the same policies.
