Solicitation of Qualified Marines for Lateral Move Into Marine Corps Community Services Primary Military Occupational Specialty 4133

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
