Documented history

Light Armored Vehicle Marine (PMOS)

1 October 2017 was the scheduled active-component batch implementation date under paragraph 4001.1b. Paragraph 4002.2 instead prints 1 October 2008, a conflicting date; the 2017 date follows the FY18-specific implementation schedule.

  • The record identifies description and requirement changes but does not explain their substance.
  • Reserve retraining for Prior Service MOS Retraining Program, Active Reserve, and Selected Marine Corps Reserve Marines was required as applicable and subject to available funds. For Individual Mobilization Augmentees, Individual Ready Reservists, and Standby Reservists, service-record entries were separately authorized by the headquarters conversion action appearing on the unit's Diary Feedback Report.
  • Formal schools were to continue awarding current MOSs until a MARADMIN directed implementation of the changes.
Source extraction notes

Source new title: Light Armored Reconnaissance Marine (PMOS). Figure 4-1 remarks: 2, 7. NAVMC 1200.1C (FY18) paragraph 4001.1b schedules the active-duty-component MCTFS batch for 2017-10-01. Paragraph 4001.6 separately addresses Reserve retraining, subject to available funds for the specified groups, and records for Individual Mobilization Augmentees, Individual Ready Reservists and Standby Reservists. Paragraph 4002.3 keeps formal-school MOS awards unchanged until MARADMIN implementation direction. The scheduled batch date is not proof of an individual's qualification, retraining or record-update completion. Paragraph 4002.2 prints 1 October 2008, in conflict with the 1 October 2017 schedule in paragraph 4001.1b. The recorded date follows the edition-specific schedule in paragraph 4001.1b; the conflicting printed instruction is not silently corrected.

Light Armor Vehicle Crewman

MOS 0313 was renamed from Light Armor Vehicle Crewman to Light Armor Vehicle Marine. The specialty retained code 0313; this was a title change, not a conversion to a different MOS.

The old title is recorded as ending on June 24, 2016. June 30, 2016 is the publication date of MARADMIN 342/16, not the recorded change date.
