Wasn't able to find sufficient independent secondary sources for WP:GNG, mostly passing mentions and primary - maybe other editors will have more luck than I did - otherwise there is probably a more general article this can redirect to... Seraphim System ( talk ) 07:55, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete in present unsourced form. I don't see too many news items or book coverage on this secondary MOS (so something someone does in addition to their main "thing"). I suspect an article on Marine Corps water survival training would be notable (either standalone - or merged into United States Marine Corps Recruit Training and other training articles) - but I'm not picking this up from this article.Icewhiz (talk) 08:46, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete There seems to be an long-running impression among some editors that Wikipedia needs to duplicate the US military's HR guides. It doesn't: this is not an encyclopedic topic, especially as few such positions are individually and independently notable. Nick-D (talk) 09:25, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete There's little or nothing there. If we have a list of USMC MOSs, then this one should be included, but that's it.-- Georgia Army Vet Contribs Talk 14:13, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
