HI! My husband is enlisting and has already taken the asvab and physical and is now in the process of choosing his MOS. He was told he had 187 (or so) jobs to choose from so he asked his recruiter to narrow them down to jobs that will qualify him for an enlistment bonus and the GI Bill. This narrowed it down to about 50. Of course, like expected, most of these were combat type jobs (cavalry, infantry etc.) which he is not interested in. There were a few that he was a little interested in and we found general info on goarmy.com but he would like more info. about them.

88l Watercraft Engineer
74D Chemical Operations Specialist
63B Light Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic
63J QM And Chem EQ Rep
63A Abrams Tank System Mntnr

These are all jobs he was mildly interested in. If anyone has any info. on any of these it would be greatly appreciated. I think mainly what he is trying to decide is if any of these are worthwhile or if he should look at the big list of 187 jobs. I think 88l was his favorite so far but he is curious if he will be out at sea a lot or just fixing them on land.

I know this doesnt sound very informed but umm......we both are very un-informed.

Any advice yall could give about choosing MOS would be helpful! Thanks!

stay away from 74D and 63J

63B is not a bad way to go. after he gets out of the military, he will have some good skills

thank you...we'll mark those off the list......
do you know anything about

63W Wheeled vehicle Rep or
14E Patriot FC ENH OP/MNT

He originally was interested in
97E Human Intell Collector
until he figured out that he would need to know a bunch of foreign languages....

14E is not really good. 13B is better. 63B isn't bad W isn't bad either. anything is 96 or 97 isn't so bad.
