Some interesting additions specific to the Marine Corps manual were Code Talker, 642 Flame Thrower Operator, 781 Bazooka Operator, 794 and Combat Dog Handler, 897. Related MOSs are grouped together by Career Management Fields (CMF). Air Force - Feeder MOS List Navy - Feeder MOS List Marine - Feeder MOS List Intra-Service Applicants (Non-Army) National Guard, Reserve & Civilian Applicants. MOS are labeled with a short alphanumerical code called a military occupational core specialty code (MOSC), which consists of a two-digit number appended by a Latin letter. Army WO Feeder MOS List Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps Applicants. For Pilots (Officer personnel), the letters P,T, or E were used to indicate the level of training completed. Enlisted soldiers are categorized by their assigned job called a Military Occupational Specialty (MOS). Those MOS's (enlisted personnel) are indicated with Designated Machine, Designated Type, Designated Engine, Designated Device, Designated Equipment, and Designated Language in the title. Some of the MOS's require a suffix code letter after the SSN to describe the skills of the the MOS holder. There were twenty one groupings, including Administrative and clerical, Artillery, Aviation, Band, Communication, Engineer, Food, Infantry, Intelligence, Motor Transport, Ordnance, Paymaster, Photographic, Postal, Public Relations and Publications, Quartermaster, Security and Guard, Special Services, Tank and Amphibian Tractor, Training aids, and Miscellaneous.

Similar to the army's manual for classification, the MOS's were broken down into Functional fields to show related MOS's. Army codes that were approprate were kept (with rewritten descriptions), those that were not were either converted or dropped. The Army Manual, TM-12 426 would still be used for civilian personnel.Īlong With this new manual, the addition of job descriptions and SSN's tailored specifically to the Marine Corp were written. After the publication of this manual, it would be the sole reference for classifying military personnel in the Marine Corps.

As stated in the manual, the Marine Corps often used Army publications for determining military SSN's.

Prior to the publication of the June 1945, Manual of Military Occupational Specialties NAVMC 1008-PD, the Marine Corps generally followed the Army's system for classifying jobs for personnel.
