0365 Marine Squad leader MOS

[Seattlefungus]

HQMC announced the creation of a new MOS for Infantry Squad leader. Having a designated MOS for Infantry squad leader will allow the Corps to use some money as incentive for retention of valuable, highly skilled and experienced NCO's. Sounds promising. Now, if they could make 1st Sgt and Sgt Major MOS's for the 03 field.
