HUFF/MGYSGT/MR/PHONE: (703) 784-6327/EMAIL:  [email protected]// GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  In support of references (a) and (b), the purpose of this MARADMIN is to solicit qualified Marines to  screen for lateral move into Primary Military Occupational  Specialty (PMOS) 4133 Marine Corps Community Services  (MCCS)Marine and to publish the screening and assessment process. Manpower and Reserve Affairs (M&RA) has categorized the 4133 PMOS  as a critical career force skill shortage.  The demand for  qualified Marines to lateral move into the 4133 PMOS will remain  high for the foreseeable future. 2. MCCS Marines provide Quality of Life services to Marines in the field and in garrison.  These Marines support military  training and operations locally and globally.  MCCS Marines  support plans and execute functions pertaining to retail  operations, fitness and recreation operations, club and food  operations, and morale-improving competitions. 3.  While the essential technical and operational skills are  learned through six (6) months of On-the-Job Training (OJT),  there are certain innate qualities that MCCS Marines must  possess.  MCCS Marines must think critically, communicate  clearly, and bring interpersonal skills, flexibility, and  creativity.  Marines who lateral move into MCCS will primarily  have civilian staff as their direct supervisors and subordinates  while in garrison.  Due to the nature of this work environment,  applicants are expected to demonstrate the highest level of  professionalism and be able to work independently and decisively. These traits will be evaluated by an interview with a Master  Gunnery Sergeant, Master Sergeant, or Gunnery Sergeant serving in  the MOS.  Gunnery Sergeants will have observed at least two (2)  interviews and then been observed for two (2) interviews before  conducting interviews independently.   4.  MCCS Marines can operate independently or as part of a small  team.  These teams are commonly known as Warfighter Express  Service (WES) Teams and are utilized for large-scale exercises. For smaller exercises, the same support is provided with a  smaller team with as few as two (2) Marines.  Throughout their  career, Marines in the MCCS Occupational Field (OccFld) will have  opportunities to deploy and support the Marine Expeditionary  Forces (MEF) in a wide variety of locations, both in local field  exercises and forward deployed operations.  They may also be  tasked to support Joint, Interagency, or international partners  conducting training and operations.   5.  Interested Marines should review the references and contact  the 4133 Monitor through their Career Counselor to locate the  nearest MCCS Staff Noncommissioned Officer-In-Charge (SNCOIC) to  request an interview. 6.  Marines requesting a lateral move must coordinate with their  Career Counselor to process a reenlistment or extension. 7.  Prerequisites.  The following are the prerequisites for  lateral move into the 4133 PMOS: 7.a.  Must be a volunteer Corporal (no Time in Grade requirement) or junior Sergeant (no more than 2 years Time in Grade) from any  MOS.  Sergeants must not be in zone for promotion. 7.b.  Must possess one of the following: 7.b.(1).  General Technical (GT) score of 110 or higher. 7.b.(2).  General Technical (GT) score of 105 AND a Clerical (CL) score of 105 or higher. 7.b.(3).  General Technical (GT) score of 105 AND Electrical (EL) score of 105 or higher.   7.b.(4).  Waivers will not be granted for scores. 7.c.  Must successfully complete OJT and maintain 1st Class  Physical Fitness Test (PFT) and Combat Fitness Test (CFT) scores.
