6012 Aviation Maintenance Controller/Production Controller (NMOS)

MOS 6012 was renamed from Aviation Maintenance Controller/Production Controller to Aviation Maintenance Controller/Safe for Flight Controller, retaining its code and additional-specialty (NMOS) status rather than replacing a primary specialty. The new classification specified a primary MOS in fields 60, 61, 62, 63, 64 or 65 and expanded the grade range from Sergeant through Gunnery Sergeant to Sergeant through Master Sergeant.

Documented history

Aviation Maintenance Controller/Production Controller (NMOS)

October 1, 2017 was the scheduled active-component classification batch date under paragraph 4001.1b. Paragraph 4002.2 instead prints October 1, 2008, a conflicting date; the edition-specific 2017 schedule is used here.

  • The table documents primary-MOS eligibility only for the new classification, not the old one. It flags description and requirement changes without explaining the revised duties or detailed requirements.
  • Reserve retraining for Prior Service MOS Retraining Program, Active Reserve and Selected Marine Corps Reserve Marines was required as needed and subject to available funds; record entries for Individual Mobilization Augmentees, Individual Ready Reservists and Standby Reservists used Headquarters-origin conversion actions on the unit Diary Feedback Report as authority.
  • Formal schools were to continue awarding current MOSs until a MARADMIN directed implementation of the changes.
Source extraction notes

Source new title: Aviation Maintenance Controller/Safe for Flight Controller (NMOS) (any PMOS from 60/61/62/63/64/65). Figure 4-1 remarks: 2, 4, 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. The conversion table changes the classification's grade range from Sgt-GySgt to Sgt-MSgt. These ranges are not a direction to promote or demote individual Marines.
