Notes & Sources
- V7 (Guidance Counselor) is an Army Additional Skill Identifier (proponent: U.S. Army Recruiting and Retention College (RRC)), effective 2025-10, not a standalone military occupation.
- Authority scope: "Identifies positions requiring personnel trained to serve as a Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) Guidance Counselor (GC), U.S." Award requirement: "Must successfully complete the appropriate Guidance Counselor Course: (1) RRC, Ft Knox, Kentucky, (AC and USAR only)." Restrictions: "For use with MOS 42T (Effective 202510), 79T, and 79V." The identifier alone does not establish a civilian occupation; occupation-specific skills and career guidance depend on the holder's primary MOS and actual duties.
