Usage
Member Military Occupation Classification Status Effective Date is used to document the calendar date on which the state of an affiliation between a Military Occupation Classification and a DoD Military Service member begins.
Member Military Occupation Classifications that have been awarded to a DoD Military Service member may be used to determine eligibility to specific assignments as well as certain allowances and bonuses; in some cases these determinations are also based on the Member Military Occupation Classification Sequence being designated as the primary occupation.
Military Occupation Classification information will be monitored and evaluated for content, consistency, completeness, and currency. Military Occupation Classification information may be cross walked with DoD Occupation Classifications and the Department of Labor's Standard Occupation Codes (SOC) for analytical purposes by various organizations (e.g., DoD, Federal, and State agencies and educational institutions). The cross walked information may also be used to counsel a DoD Military Service member on employment opportunities upon separation from the armed forces.
Military Occupation Classification may also be referred to as:
- Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC), including prefix and suffix, for Air Force Commissioned Officers and Enlisted,
- Branch Area of Concentration (AOC), first Skill Identifier (SI), and second SI, for Army Commissioned Officers,
- Military Occupational Skill (MOS), Skill Level, Skill Qualification Id (SQI), and Additional Skill Id (ASI), for Army Enlisted and Warrant Officers,
- Designator and Additional Qualification Designator (AQD) for Navy Commissioned and Warrant Officers,
- Rating and Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC) for Navy Enlisted, and
- Military Occupational Specialty for Marine Corps Commissioned Officers and Enlisted | |
