Air Force MOS Alphanumeric Bulletins



MDL will begin producing alphanumeric bulletins for the Air Force containing AVN (MAV) and MRF (MEX) MOS guidance on or about September 25, 2001. This guidance will be sent to the Air Force Weather Agency (AFWA) under new WMO Headings for dissemination on military communication circuits. Twenty-seven messages contain guidance for stations in the contiguous U.S., three contain guidance for Alaskan sites, one contains guidance for stations in Hawaii, and one contains guidance for Puerto Rico. The following two-line WMO headers are used:


AVN (MAV)

Please note that we do not yet have guidance available for some of the stations requested by AFWA. Place holders (the message header) will appear in the bulletins for these stations. Further details regarding the AVN MOS (MAV) and MRF MOS (MEX) bulletins can be found in the Technical Procedures Bulletins (TPB's) listed below.
