I have a degree of Knowledge in the area of recruiting. I'm a former active Marine. 86-96. That included 3 years as a recruiter. So the first thing I want to point out is leaning on an active recruiter for answers is not always mean the answer is correct. Any good recruiter will admit we were still learning things after a three year tour. And sometimes our seniors were not always correct when it came to several MOS Questions or Mos placement & also Schools. I've seen the Program guide (MCO 1130.53P)appears it has remained the same since 2002? Is this correct? There have been a few changes over the years. The most interesting is the EOP (Enlistment option program) is option AG (Enlisted Flight Crew). Could Someone bring me up to speed? I actually discussed this with 2 persons I know to be fine Marines. One recruiting station SSGT. Who I had to teach a couple things to after his answer. (LOL). The other a prior enlisted Marine who is now a Capt. and 53 Pilot. He leaned on a Gunny who was a crew Chief to try & shed some light on this for me. None of the information was the same. My questions were rather simple. Upon completion of The Navel Aircrew Canidates School a Marine is designated mos 9972 Air Crew canidate. Is this correct? If so, whats next? When is the Marine Designated his primary Airframe & primary MOS? What primary occupations specifically can a 9972 be placed in to? (Please don't use anything from "About Military.com" I can point out incorrect info on that site all day long.) And what Schools follow Aircrew Canidate School? In the "Old days" LOL , most Crew chiefs seem to filter into the spot/ of Crew Chief MOS after serving time in "Other" related primary occupations. It appears to me The Corps now starts training young Marines for the job right out of the gate. I'm interested in learning how this has changed over the years. & when the young Marines learn there primary mos placement? & also when do they receive Air Crew wings? Thanks, Semper Fi "1/6 Hard"
