Where can I get a sample packet for the 51C board (LOR example)? What about any pointers on the selection process and information on the MOS?

Putting in my 51C packet for board date in July of this year. Anyone with a packet example, also any information on the MOS would be great. LOR example, pointers on the selection process.

For an LOR, you're basically looking for a flowery stamp of approval from your leadership (that is, unless there are specific skills or such that a board is looking for). For a 51C, you can look at the example at https://asc.army.mil/web/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/O-5-Recommendation.pdf

If you read the details, it's not saying that you're a logistic genus .. it's saying that you are dependable, a good NCO, etc.

Additionally, there have been many previous posts about 51C reclassification on RallyPoint. Suggest you do a quick search for them for additional information*

All the info you need should be on the Acquisition Support Center page here if you click on your component. Last year I had the pleasure of being the President of the 51C Reserve accession board.
