Just signed a CK Arty contract, I know that 0861 falls under this just curious if this is the same as a normal 08xx contract, forget the letters assigned to that or if it is different. all the contract said was 08 feild arty. but i know theres another contract that says the same thing. the name of the CK was forward control/fire direction, does this mean that normal cannoneer mos and such are not included?
any info much appreciated, thanks in advance

Can I ask where you got this info? I'm trying to look up which MOSs are in a specific contract, but I don't have time to go out to the recruiting office right now...

I wish I coulda got an infantry contract. One of the recruiters said we can't switch after we get our contract, which I am pretty sure isn't the truth.

ya thats not true what i said is I am not going to ship without an infantry contract, which was a bluff I was good with going combat support, and i had an infantry contract 4 days later.

By the way Eodre, you might want to look into the $6,000 bonus for the CK contract with your recruiter..thats a nice chunk of change when your only making about $19,500 a year as a PFC.
Although i completely understand how little the money is important when you have your mind set on something... I wanted Combat Support and they offered me Electronics Maintenance with a $15,000 bonus..needless to say that took a second to think over, haha.
In the end i stuck with it and got my Combat Support contract though, and i'm happy as could be.

Well, as I stated, I couldn't make it out to the office at that time, but I have seen the file and I know where it's kept. Thanks for sending me the link to the PDF though, I really appreciate it.

I stood my ground when it came to the contracts that I wanted. I was slated to leave with a BA contract (Aviation Electronics Technician) but I told them I wasn't going to ship without an AG (Enlisted Aircrew), CM (Combat Engineer), or UT (Military Police) contract. Now, here I am, 11 days before I ship, with my CM contract. It wouldn't have happened unless I hadn't gone in every single day and bugged Gunny about it. lol

I just got sworn in and contracted yesterday. Upon arriving back to my recruiter's office, he had supplied me with a list of all of the jobs that I qualify for, which is all of them. I am having difficulties finding information about the listings. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm open to them.

The MOS listings for fy14 aren't available online yet, but the list from 2013 is still up. This years list should be similar, if not exactly the same as the last one. I don't think we are allowed to post links here, but just google "MCO 1130.53R" and it should come up. Also, there is a sticky in the Ask a Marine section with a link to the About . com website with detailed descriptions of each MOS.
