Soldiers interested in moving to a specialty with good promotion and career prospects may do well to check out a menu of 14 priority MOSs that meet those requirements, but that have some demanding application criteria.

These priority jobs, most of which require a secret or top secret clearance and above-average vocational aptitude scores, are called “by application” military occupational specialties.

That is because applicants must be cleared by the specialty’s proponent agency, such as a branch service school or center of excellence, before getting a final nod of approval from Human Resources Command.

As of late-September, there were 14 by-application career fields and MOSs open to reclassification in the Regular Army.

Included are the specialties :

•CMF 18 (Special Forces).

•12D (diver), an engineer specialty.

•12P (prime power production specialist), another engineer specialty.

•17C (cyber operations specialist), the Army’s newest MOS.

•25D (cyber network defender), a signal specialty.

•31D (CID special agent), a military police specialty.

•35L (counterintelligence agent), a military intelligence specialty.

•37F (psychological operations), a special operations MOS.

•38B (civil affairs), a special operations MOS.

•46Q (public affairs specialist).

•46R (broadcast specialist), another public affairs MOS.

•51C (contracting NCO), an Army Acquisition Corps specialty.

•79R (recruiter), a career specialty for soldiers who have successfully served as detailed recruiters.

•89D (explosive ordnance disposal), a special operations MOS.
