b. Physical demands rating and qualifications for initial award of MOS.

Prime power production specialists must possess the following qualifications:

(1) Physical demands rating of moderate (Gold).

(2) A physical profile of 111121.

(3) Normal color vision, to include the ability to distinguish between red and green and good eye hand coordination.

(4) Qualifying scores.

(a) A minimum score of 110 in aptitude area ST, 110 in aptitude area GT and 110 in aptitude area EL in Armed Services Vocational aptitude Battery (ASVAB) tests administered prior to 2 January 2002.

(b) A minimum score of 107 in aptitude area ST, 107 in aptitude area EL and 110 in aptitude area GT on ASVAB tests administered on and after 2 January 2002.

(c) A minimum OPAT score of Standing Long Jump (LJ) – 0120 cm, Seated Power Throw (PT) – 0350 cm, Strength Deadlift (SD) – 0120 lbs., and Interval Aerobic Run (IR) – 0036 shuttles in Physical Demand Category in “Moderate” (Gold).

(d) Score of 80 or higher on the Defense Language Institute English Language Comprehension (DLIELC) Test.

(e) Minimum score of 70 percent on the Basic Mathematics and Science Proficiency Test (BMST).

(5) Periodic Health Assessment less than 1 year old.

(6) Be in the rank of SPC, SPC (P) or SGT and subject to career field requirements.

(7) Show proof by official transcript of having successfully completed a high school or college level algebra with a minimum grade of “C” 75%.

(8) Formal training (completion of a resident MOS 12P course and completion of either ASI E5, S2 or S3 resident training conducted under the auspices of the U.S. Army Engineer Center of Excellence (USAECOE)) mandatory to complete MOS 12P qualification.

Failure to complete mandatory training, to include ASI training, constitutes loss of MOS 12P qualification under the provisions of AR 614-200, Chapter 3, and requires mandatory reclassification.

Waivers of formal training requirements must be submitted to EPDO, USAES, ATTN: ATSE-E, Ft Leonard Wood, MO 65473-8926 for approval.

(9) Security Eligibility.

(a)

Must maintain a SECRET clearance after the initial clearance is granted to maintain the MOS.

Personnel currently assigned as 12P, who do not possess a security eligibility of SECRET or higher, must apply for a SECRET eligibility NLT 180 days from the effective date of 01 OCT 2018.

Failure to do so, or denial of required clearance could result in mandatory re-classification for lack of MOS qualification or denial of reenlistment eligibility in MOS 12P.

(1) Students will have 12 months from graduation to meet the required SECRET clearance eligibility.

Failure to obtain the required clearance will result in mandatory reclassification for loss of PMOS qualification; however, the command can request an additional 180 days to complete the required clearance in lieu of reclassification.

(2) The Engineer Personnel Proponent can grant additional time to obtain the required clearance and will provide a memorandum to clarify the extension end date.

(b)

All personnel reclassifying into MOS 12P who do not have a SECRET Clearance or higher must have a completed National Agency Check with Law and Credit (NACLC) and must not have been denied and/or have a suspended clearance at time of reclassification request.

c. Additional skill identifiers.

(Note: Refer to table 12-8 (Listing of universal ASIs associated with all enlisted MOS)).

(1) B9—Bradley Fighting Vehicle (BFV) (personnel only).

(2) E5–Instrument Maintenance (Power Station).

(3) P6–Project Management (skill level 2 thru 6 for personnel only).

(4) R7–Army Reconnaissance (Skill level 3 and above personnel only).

(5) S2–Mechanical Equipment Maintenance (Power Station).

(6) S3–Electrical Equipment Maintenance (Power Station).
