<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>SGT Thompson you need a Bachelor's degree right now to be considered, preferably a Business concentration might help you stand out other than that it's the same thing any soldier needs to stand out from their peers

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Visit the Defense Acquisition University website, select the Contracting career field, and review the course offerings, the requirements, and best method in earning Level I certification in Contracting. 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!

<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.

<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.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Get a SGM thats 51C to write a letter of recommendation and also a COL or higher
