Also check out the 21 field. http://usmilitary.about.com/od/enlistedjo2/a/21.htm

That is not the job you're looking for. I was a 6173 with secondaries of 6113 and 6177. I attended WTCCI in Yuma to get the 6177 mos and it looks like 7277 is also some type of advanced aviation weapons instructor designation. It may be the instructors that train the WTCCI students. After graduation the students become instructors back in their respective squadrons.

My above post was in regards to 7277, looks like it's basically a combat ATC instructor.

JJ is (or at least was) correct. When I was still in, I was a In Airfield Management, in the same category (sort of) as Air Traffic Controllers and Combat controllers.

Ok just did some Googlefu and came up with this for the Air Force.

1C - Command and Control Systems Operations
United States Air Force Command and Control Badge.svg

1C0X2 - Aviation Resource Management
1C1X1 - Air Traffic Control
1C2X1 - Combat Control
1C3X1 - Command Post
1C4X1 - Tactical Air Control Party (TACP)
1C5X1 - Command & Control Battle Management Ops (1C5X1D Weapons Director)
United States Air Force Weapons Director Badge.svg
1C6X1 - Space Systems Operations
1C7X1 - Airfield Management

So by this NEW set of numbers I would have been a 1C771

1 - Operations
C - Command and Control Systems
7 - Airfield management
7 - Craftsman (Airmen with many years of experience in the specialty, responsible for supervision and training)(one step below Superintendent)
1 - Base Operations
I Guess? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Anyway, My OLD AFSC (Air Force Specialty Code) was 27171.

Right now I am doing some digging and checking out the airforce SOF jobs. A friends brother is a airforce combat control that worked with several SOF groups. I want to talk with him about his job and see what it's like.

JJ what is the marine job that works at the quantico armory and loads the match ammo, works on builds the M40 a3 system and maintains the corps 1911s. I also heard the build and maintain the marine corps match shooting teams guns. I have read about the those guys but can't find much info.

It is most likely a special duty within the 2111 field http://usmilitary.about.com/od/enlistedjo2/a/2111.htm

I would assume this is not a job you would go directly into. Most likely you have to excel at your job and be experienced as an armorer and PFT, CFT etc etc and then get selected or apply for the position.

I just got directed to this order by a Marine here that used to work on the Marksmanship Training Unit, Weapons Training Battalion, Marine Corps Development and Education Command. I believe this is what you are talking about. The sergeant told me you have to be great at your job as an armorer and be really good on the range. Good enough to get selected to the rifle and pistol competition teams.
