I realize this is kind of dry and bureaucratic for most readers, but possibly of interest for those considering military service or know someone who does.

For Active duty Marine Corps, you don't sign for an exact job (like you do in the Army), but instead sign for a broad category of jobs, like Logistics or Intelligence or Communications, and your exact job (MOS) will be finalized after Boot Camp.

Clearly this can be disadvantageous for folks who want one specific job within a contract and have to roll the dice. Like in past years the 7051 Crash/Fire/Rescue job was on an AE Airfield Services broader contract, so someone signing for it who wanted fire ran a risk of getting Expeditionary Airfield or Ordnance instead.

However the jobs list for FY24 came out, and 7051 is now the sole job on its contract. So basically if you sign that you're guaranteed to get Airfield Fire unless you fail the training course. See jobs list here: https://www.reddit.com/r/USMCboot/s/AqUUvhsx3f

I will close by caveating that miltary fire jobs can differ from civilian ones, and anyone considering the military with plans to later get into civilian firefighting should consult with veterans currently working in fire as to the best MOS options for that transition.
