The MOS now for the Army diver is 12D, It is the MOS I just went into and i have a general idea what to expect, message me if you have any questions that I mgiht be able to help with !!!

And i am NOT going into SF, so you dont need to to be an Army Diver... I am doing AIT school at Ft. Leonardwood MO for 3 weeks, then I go to a Navy Dive school in Panama City Florida

engineers have dive spots too but very few.

What are you saying ?? My official title will be an Army Engineer Diver, is there something separate ??

Your name would indicate you're already an Army Diver, might wanna fix that, chief.

I think all he was saying is that the Engineers have their own Army divers, as well - that 12D is the actual MOS, but Engineers train and use their own.

Like in the Infantry: our Armorers were 11-series, not an Armorer (Weapon Repair Specialist) MOS. And we used both 11-series and 88-series as supply drivers.

The military tries to keep "official" job titles grouped by MOS. But because of the vast necessity to maintain unit readiness at all times with a diversity of jobs within a unit's mission parameters, it is not at all uncommon for a unit to have specialty personnel trained to do jobs that are otherwise a different MOS than their TO&E shows as authorized attachments.

He's not saying anything about the 12D MOS, just adding some information to the thread that others might not know about.

I was on a team with a senior NCO from the SF dive school long ago.
I know some guys who went through it.
It was kind of random and a combat oriented school.
Not everyone got to attend, like HALO and other real specialized stuff.
Very tough, lots of running and distance swimming.
They launched from subs, boats and planes.

CDQC is a different animal than NDSTC, despite the fact that both schools are located in fun Florida locations.

In SF it was just an added skill some guys got to acquire.
Not an MOS.
