You should also see any formal education requirements as well. Enroll in an introductory DAU on-line contracting course, develop a solid program plan, and incorporate that into your 51C application for a solid basis of your selection!Response by MAJ Ed Roden made Feb 10 at 2016 8:11 AM2016-02-10T08:11:16-05:002016-02-10T08:11:16-05:00SSG Private RallyPoint Member1296510<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>In addition to having your typical soldier requirements (PT, Weapons, NCOER's, etc..), you definitely need to have a Bachelor's degree if you want to stand out, this field has become very competitive as of lately. This is definitely a great career move, I am an 1102/51C and for me this definitely was the best career move I ever made. Best of luck to you.Response by SSG Private RallyPoint Member made Feb 11 at 2016 10:10 PM2016-02-11T22:10:27-05:002016-02-11T22:10:27-05:00SGT Private RallyPoint Member1703263<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Sorry to dig this up but I don't have enough influence to write a post. Does anyone know if a color vision waiver is possible for 51c? I'm likely going to choose OCS if I cannot submit a packet for this MOS down the line.Response by SGT Private RallyPoint Member made Jul 9 at 2016 8:54 PM2016-07-09T20:54:28-04:002016-07-09T20:54:28-04:00SFC Private RallyPoint Member2269167<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Get a SGM thats 51C to write a letter of recommendation and also a COL or higherResponse by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Jan 21 at 2017 1:42 PM2017-01-21T13:42:01-05:002017-01-21T13:42:01-05:002016-02-04T16:51:50-05:00
