I'm currently on MSG duty and won't be back in the fleet for another 2.5 years, but I am just curious so that I know what to look forward to once my tour is up.

They are going to bring verified trainers into 29 again to train them as teachers for the new MOS's. you get to choose between 067x and 063x as a 065x. 063x will be networking and 067x will be centered on systems. You have to go to your support battalion to get trained by the new verified trainers once they get everything together. Force wide retraining is expected to be completed around 2019 according to the whispers I've heard.

I’m currently in the 0651 course (one of the last classes to go through as a 51). our orders are being delayed now because they’re redesignating us as 0671. offical 71 course start toward the end of October.

Yeah, according to MOL, I'm now a 71. Being a 51 meant we can do the jobs of both MOSs, but now due to the redesignation, we'll be a bit more specialized on the server side.

If you ever need any advice, feel free to ask. Done plenty of both sides of the 51 field, and will be a 79 once I'm off the MSG program in a few years.

October 1st is when you will receive a new MOS. Rule of thumb is that 065x turns into 067x 061x turns into 063x.

Log onto MCTIMS to view the new training and readiness manual for 06xx.

Sgt Dudley Innocent Gotcha, I appreciate it. Hopefully they'll be able to send me back to the Stumps for the chiefs course once I'm done with MSG because I'll probably be lost in the sauce with all of the changes in two and a half years. Haha
