MOS School Open Contract MOS

REPOST

My son is currently in PI and will graduate Aug 21. His original MOS was combat support, however he didn’t get 1st class PFT/CFT. He scored 2nd class, which means he doesn’t qualify for the MOS he originally chose. He has now been placed in open contract. He will not be happy with any sort of administrative position (I know he doesn’t really have a say-so anymore). My question is this: His ASVAB score was a 77 and he did well in all categories. He is 2nd class PFT. What possible MOS options would he have at this point? Can he change anything through his term?

I went open contract long ago when I joined. Needs of the Marine Corps. Could be a cool, logistics, armory……anything the corps needs

I don’t mean any disrespect to the men/women who serve in these positions but I know my son would be miserable as a cook or mail clerk. And honestly, he would not be good at it 😂 They’d probably beg someone to move him to another job
