Notes & Sources
- NOOCS Part A (Edition 96, Jul 2026) defines officer designator 270X as: “Active duty Nurse Corps, Medical Service Corps, Medical Corps, and Dental Corps officer in rank of O7”
- The row has no billet code of its own (N/A): it marks rank-of-O7 service across the four named staff corps, not a separate occupation.
- The designator row is an identity/qualification statement, not a duty description, so occupation-specific skills, career paths, and credential recommendations are not published here; duties depend on the billet and community qualification.
