Administrative Specialist responsibilities include the management of administrative and clerical functions in the areas of general administration, personnel administration, operational administration, and manpower administration. The required qualifications include basic clerical and communication skills. Administrative Specialists are required to learn administrative procedures and processes, pay and personnel information, preparation of orders and directives, correspondence, and the use and maintenance of filing systems. There are a wide variety of billets available in this MOS ranging from duty at the staff level in the operational, garrison, joint duty assignments and the opportunity to serve on independent duty in support of the Selected Marine Corps Reserve (SMCR).
A typical day in the marine corps starts at 0530 with pt (physical training). It usually consist of a 3-4 mile run and some push ups and sit ups in between. I was an administrative specialist so my job was an important one. We took care of every marine and there family on mcb Camp Pendleton dealing with any admin issues (ex.Pay, promotions, discharges, new joins, etc.) What I learned is not only how to do administrative skills but also I learned how to better myself, work with a team, be a leader, take initiative, and always complete the mission.
