Is there an ALC for 17E? Where can I find information on the job?

Read over everything on every site for this MOS but nowhere does it say ALC

Checked ATRRS? Where is the AIT at? Perhaps that particular base NCOA has information?

I am a 17E. ALC is part of the course! Once you graduate 17E school you automatically graduate ALC

I had a really long message typed out before I saw your tags. I don't know what a "Field Illumination Crewman" is, but 29E (Electronic Warfare Specialist) was rebranded as 17E (Also Electronic Warfare Specialist) at the beginning of FY19. If you're asking about EW, then as far as I know, there is not an ALC; ALC is included in the Basic Course. When I graduated the course in 2014 there was a MILPER message that covered this. I will try and find my copy of it, and see if there's an updated copy. Standby.

There is no ALC for 17E’s as of yet. I’m pretty sure they are going to roll one out once they start including IET soldiers into the mix. ALC is technically rolled up into the basic course. In order to receive ‘constructive credit’ and be ALC qualified, you just have to graduate the course and complete SSD II. I went through the same struggle coming up. I suggest you get in while the getting is good before ALC is made official.

I just got an email from MSG Smith, our branch manager, about the rules for ALC credit changing. If you are already 17E you should've gotten the same email, if not, send me your email and I'll forward it to you.
