you checked into your unit what in may or something close to that based off of your base housing post in May 2015 you havent even been in the fleet for 2 months and you are asking about a lat move? At current projection you have a 0% chance of getting a lat move especially as a lance. Holy $#!T killer give it a hot minute.

PFC Ramirez: This Wednesday May 6th I arrive at the first duty station reason why I couldn't ask the chain of command nd asked on here, thanks for the info

0 chance. My .02 you are going to have a bad 4 years.

You should check with your career planner. There are a lot of steps involved in latmoving, and in your case, it will most likely have to be in conjunction with a reenlistment since you are a first termer.

spoke to one already was told I could start the package next year at the 2 year mark but that isn't the question, asking what is it that lets a marine lay move to that mos

That's why you need to ask your career planner. They are the duty experts ... most of us here are just a bunch of sea lawyers.

You're a brand new boot to the fleet, right now your primary responsibility is to learn your job. Your NCO's will eat you alive if you start talking about lat moving when you haven't been in the Corps for even a year yet.

I understand you are looking out for yourself and your future but you need to learn your place right now....and talking about lat moving is NOT it.

I know of someone who lat moved into the parachute rigger MOS with hopes of becoming an air delivery specialist. He ended up getting sent to a unit that didn't need any new air delivery specialists. Just be fine with that possibility. I don't know if a career planner would try to strong arm you into taking parachute rigger and not the specific 0451, but don't let 'em do it.
