0861 - Fire Direction and Control Specialist

[TayBaker]

Im down at RSS Arrowhead in Glendale Arizona,
I ship out September 7th, and my future MOS will be 0861.

I have asked my recruiter several times what this will be like, and he said my best bet was to find a Marine and hear it from them.

So, if any Marine who is an Fire Direction and Control Specialist, or is within that MOS Field could tell me a little about what i should do to help get myself ready for this MOS and what a typical day is, i will be very grateful.

Thank you for your time!

Are you a reservist? If not, you are misunderstanding what your MOS will be.
