Documented history

Cryptologic Cyberspace Analyst (NMOS) (2621, 2629, 2631, 2651 +)

1 October 2018 was the scheduled active-duty-component Marine Corps Total Force System (MCTFS) batch conversion date, not a universal individual qualification or retraining date.

  • The grade-range change did not direct promotion or demotion of individual Marines.
  • Reserve retraining for PSMRP, Active Reserve and SMCR was to be coordinated as required for conversion, subject to available funds.
  • Individual Mobilization Augmentees, Individual Ready Reservists and Standby Reservists required appropriate service record book entries using the headquarters conversion action as authority.
  • Formal schools were to continue awarding current MOSs until a MARADMIN directed implementation of the new conversions.
Source extraction notes

Source new title: Cryptologic Digital Network Operator (PMOS). Figure 4-1 remarks: 2, 4, 7, 8. Encoded as renamed because the allowed output vocabulary has no status-change value and the source also changes the title/status of the same code. Paragraph 4001.1b schedules the active duty component MCTFS batch for 1 October 2018. Paragraph 4001.6 separately covers Reserve retraining, subject to available funds for the specified retraining groups, and record updates for Individual Mobilization Augmentees, Individual Ready Reservists and Standby Reservists. Under paragraph 4002.3, formal schools keep awarding current MOSs until a MARADMIN directs implementation. The batch date is not a documented universal individual qualification or retraining date. The conversion table changes the classification's grade range from LCpl-MGySgt to LCpl-Sgt. These ranges are not a direction to promote or demote individual Marines.
