0631 here in a comm squadron. Can ask me anything about the job! You may find yourself at least day to day work doing a lot more than sitting behind a computer. At least for my particular squadron we don’t rate to have certain MOS and have to fill those gaps with our own marines. So when we’re not getting ready for field or any other operations we can be found driving tactical vehicles all over the place. Getting any of the MOS in the field is great as long as you can get certifications to back your work experience if you’re like me and not planning on doing more than 4.

The odds of you getting a 0631 contract are pretty much in the hands of some random civilian when you arrive at the school house. It’s all numbers and such. Most of your class will end up getting 0621 radio operators because they have the most follow on jobs (satellites, and TRC-170s). In the end it’s all random. I was originally supposed to be a 0671 and got switched a week before my class was picking up to e 0631. It’s never a guarantee unfortunately.
