Are the 36B and 42A MOSs combining? If so, will we have to re-class to 42A?

I’m hearing rumors that the two MOSs are combining in the near future. So I’m curious as to what will come of this.

I'm not seeing anything on it, but then again, have been out a few years now. Honestly, I would hope not, as 42A has historically been overstrength. Took me reclassing to 25B to pick up SGT.

What a hot mess that would be. Is that coming from one of the proponent offices?

the two fields are 180 out from each other.

I've never heard anything about this and I handle reclassed. Usually Career Counselors are in the loop years ahead of when these reclassed happen.

42A requires secret clearance and 36B only requires confidential. So highly doubt about these 2 MOS combining

SSG Private RallyPoint Member They aren't combining. 42As will take over the military pay competencies from 36Bs, but we'll keep the rest. We still have Comptroller, Accounting, Vendor Pay, Disbursing and so on. If you get a chance to deploy as a 36B you'll see that we dont do much of military pay down range.

SSG Private RallyPoint Member , as a Senior AG NCO, I echo what MSG Private RallyPoint Member said. While in the S-1, 90% of Soldier pay issues could be resolved within the S-1 if we (42A) had some additional military pay training and access. With the release of IPPS-A, the S-1 will gain the necessary access to be empowered to assist with Soldier pay issues. Training is being conducted as we speak (Train the Trainer) and will continue to a part of the SSI’s revision of the POI for PME.

Not true. I spoke to someone I know who's 36B Finance and he said they're just laying off the pay function as that's transitioning to AG. They're focusing on the marketing aspects of finance. No need to reclass as it's still two separate CMFs.
