I've seen several people asking for a list of MOS's that compose B6 Ground option. There are some good ones and some bad ones. Here it is, straight off the Statement of Understanding.

0431-Logistics/Embarkation & Combat Service Support (CSS) specialist
0451-Parachute Rigger
0481-Landing Support Specialist
0811-Field Artillery Cannoneer
0842-Field Artillery Radar Operator
0844-Field Artillery Fire Control Man
0847-Artillery Meteorological Man
0861-Fire SUpport Man
1345-Engineer Equipment Operator
1361-Engineer Assistant
1371-Combat Engineer
1391-Bulk Fuel Specialist
1812-M1A1 Tank Crewman
1833-Assault Amphibious Vehicle (AAV) Crewman
2311-Ammunition Technician
3112-Traffic Management Specialist
3531-Motor Vehicle Operator
5711-Nuclear Biological & Chemical Defense (NBCD) Specialist
5811-Military Police
5831-Correctional Specialist
7212-Low Altitude Air Defense Gunner

Some of them seem kind of crappy, but hey, I've never been promised a rose garden.

No problem. As soon as I saw the list and realized there were only about 5 jobs I wanted out of the 21, I switched to UH Infantry. ha

does anyone know the selection process for B6 as far as what MOS you get and when??

Depending on your ASVAB score and what the needs of the Corps are. If you have a 97 on your ASVAB, you probably won't get bulk fuel.

I got an 81 on my asvab and am under this contract. Praying I get something in either 1300, 0800, or 1800.

I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to know what(in your opinion) are the best jobs to have in B6 ground option.

The job I wanted is all filled and isn't available for a year and I'm not getting any younger so my recruiter recommended B6 Ground Option and put it on my package. I'm actually a little worried seeing as I don't see anything that really strikes me as a job I want to do, but I don't want to go in without having a job in mind. Any inside experience on what some of the jobs are like would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I've heard being a Marine is one heck of a job...

This is currently what I have, but am hoping i can get Infantry before I ship to boot! If I dont I would be hoping to get one of these jobs under ground option 1812, 1833 or 2311

I got a 90 on the asvab, hopefully that'll gives me a little more reputation and they put me in a job that I want. Oh well, I'll do whatever the Corps tells me to do.

On the 6B, is there no way to know what you have for the MOS that you will be put in befor you go, if you want to change it?
I see 21 jobs listed and about 2/3's of them im not to sure about. But some are ones i would prefur to have.

@BenDeeming - It's B6, and no there's no way to see what you will get. It's the needs of the Marine Corps. And look, it's far better than going open contract. At least you now have a list of possible jobs you'll get. Also, you don't know how those jobs are until you actually get out into the field
-------------------

My MOS is B6 Ground Option.

I hope I get one of the 04's 03's or 58's ! All the options sound good to me though lol

I got B6 Ground Op. before that i went down to meps as usual with my recruiter and i was going to choose 1812 M1A1 tank crewman but supposedly im "color Blind" so they gave me the last choice of B6 with a 7500$ bonus. its just weird because half of the jobs maybe even more i know for a fact require correctable color vision. BTW im 20/20 vision. going to go to my doctor to see if im actually color blind. The tester was an old lady civilian. Thanks.
