Sapper school for signal personnel in a engineering battalion?

Curious about sapper school I saw that it’s open to all units (I am in 82nd BEB and a 25N). I also read that there’s what appears to be a restriction per MOS, I was curious to know if there is a possible waive for this or not?

The Sapper Leader Course is primarily for those in the 12 Series MOS. I remember back in the day that only those with a 12 series MOS could attend. That may have changed since my 12B days. If you really want to get answers, email them:

No, there is not an MOS restriction, BUT priority of slots go to 12B's (21B's which ever they are this week), Marine 1371 (Marine Combat Engineer), 11B's, 18C's and 19D's. You also have to be E4 and that isn't waiverable.

The 82nd will absolutely send you to the Sapper Leader Course, especially if you're in the BEB
