9/2/2023 0 Comments Marine corps mos 6842Once at CAX a few of us Cobra guys traded places with Hornet guys just for fun, both sides were completely lost. I was a very good troubleshooter and I was practically an AVI guy. I have heard that fixed wing ordnance doesn't do much besides load bombs where on the Cobra side it was 80% troubleshooting. Totally different world and completely different jobs. Another thing to consider is that you may not get to choose the type of aircraft, I figured I was going to get F-18's but I got Cobras and Hueys. If I never set foot on an airfield again I'll die a happy man. Going back in the reserves to be a grunt. this is now another MOS on top of the first that you get. they are quality assurance guys making sure the parts that you build or the work you do is up to par with the publications that you WILL have out if you are doing the work. from any aviation mechanic job you have CDI's which are inspectors and there is a ladder for them to. we had civilians that helped at miramar but in iwakuni no such help. On the job experience again for my MOS was daily work 0700-1630 minimum as we were usually working later to catch up. total school for me was 2 months with 2+ months waiting for me. In the C school theyre called you learn more about your specific job. I graduated school in pensacola and found out i had F404 I lvl (f-18 engines) so continued to oceana. after common core(basic engine theory and physics) you go to your strand for me Jet strand. while in school i got to pick if i wanted jets, helos or props O level(working on components on the aircraft) or I level (working on specific components more in depth while off the aircraft, me again) and station east coast west coast or overseas. i was lucky and got exactly what i wanted aside from the station choice. If you sign up for aviation mechanic it would be an AF contract option which leaves you for powerplants(engines, what i got), airframes, ordinance, ground support equipment, and parachute/ejection seat guys. for example my second school was in NAS Oceana in VA beach, Va but it is also on NAS Leemore, Ca. The school is in NAS Pensacola for basic school then you would go to another school for your specific platform. Honestly I loved my time as a 6227, howver, the problem with that specific MOS is that its non promoting maybe 1 person getting Sgt every year. Intel Bn does forecasts similar to what you see on TV with 3-8 day forecasts but have done up to 14 days in very simple no code format for the grunts.Īny other info just ask and i will answer.Īlso i was an aviation mechanic i latmoved (changed jobs) I did work on the F/A-18 Engines so i can tell you bout the engine mechanic schools none of this is secret or sensitve as it is general aviation weather. Stations and MWSS will write "TAFS" go to and go to TAFS and put in KNFG (Camp Pendleton) and hit enter that will be the forecasts they do. The MOS itself is Forecasting depending on where you go will determine the type of forecast you'll do. It is a very hard school there actually is a very high drop rate for junior marines while the NCO's generally have a 95% GPA and no drops as of yet. Over all with the waiting it will be about a full year for a Junior Marine. The Air Force side is 7-8 months long(they are currently redoing the curriculum) and then you have the Marine side of the school bout a month an half. School: for a pog school there is alot of PT so make sure your good to go. All stations do it different but that is how Miramar does it. Stations do shift work for the most part a senior forecaster at Miramar per se when i left would work a full 24 hours but then get 3 days off while the junior's would work 0700-1630 for 2 days then work 1630-0700 for one night then 2 days off then another night 1630-0700 then 2 more days off. In garrison not deployed Intel and MWSS just does training to improve forecasting skills. Deploys alot we currently have most of the shop out on deployments. There are 3 different types of stations you can go to.ġ) MCAS stations: non deploying Flight plans for local area and if at hub(Miramar, Cherry Point, or Iwakuni) does forecasts for regionĢ) MWSS: Deploying does job of stations but at FOBS(in country air stations)ģ) Intel Bn: (I am here) Groundside weather for the grunts and such. ![]() Well i am the resident 6842 here on the forums.
