Hello, I am currently set to go to sweet ol' Parris Island on the 30th of this month and I have a question that hopefully someone here may be able to help me with.
It has to deal with my MOS. My recruiter told me that I would analyze, repair, and deal with technical things with LAVs and Tanks (Combat Vehicles) ect.. but I was under the assumption that all MOS' have a numbered code to go with them.
When I asked him what the code was for my MOS he said it was "CL" and that left me confused because I thought that was one of the line scores on the ASVAB (Clerical in this case). But i was wondering if anyone would have an idea on what the actual MOS title would be in my circumstance? Also if possible what would be the numbered code?
Also if I remember correctly he told me the job title was something like "Combat Vehicle Technician" or something similar to that. I found a site a little bit ago that had a list of most MOS' available in the Marine Corps and I can not find anything of the sort. The closest thing I could find was
" 2146 (http://usmilitary.about.com/od/enlistedjo2/a/2146.htm) --Main Battle Tank (MBT) Repairer/Technician"
" 2147 (http://usmilitary.about.com/od/enlistedjo2/a/2147.htm) --Light Armored Vehicle (LAV)"
Did they maybe turn those into one MOS now?
Any insight would be helpful. Thank you ahead of time.

CL is just the name for the grouping of MOS's that you listed, it means you have a 50/50 shot at getting either one. For example, the field I am contracted for right now, Ground Option, has like 17 different MOS's that I would be rolling the dice to get. Thats going to change soon though....

You should just ask your recruiter to tell you what jobs are included in the CL option
