Wasn't really sure where to put this, so I am putting it here.

I recently read a book that basically was a soldier from Iraqs journal while he was there.

Its called:

Surviving Twilight
Shane A. Bernskoetter

It never said what his MOS was however he did spend alot of time in the, I believe he said Armory. He worked with one other guy, basically people brought in weapons that were broken, from pistols to rifles to machine guns, and they repaired them. I am thinking about joining the military and I am very fascinated with weapons and I was curious if anyone could tell me what MOS this is?

I looked on http://usmilitary.about.com/od/enlis...s/a/arjobs.htm and checked Armament Maitenance since that seemed to be what it was. Is he a 45B -Small Arms/Artillery Repairer? I wasn't sure because Artillery is in there and he never mentioned working on Artillery. He made it seem he was in Cav, so..

Thanks for the input. Also I am guessing that link is accurate with the current MOS system since I know they changed it a while back?

And an 11B/11 Bravo is a regular infantrymen right?

11B is infantry, yes. If he was a 45B and in the Cav, he wouldn't have any arty to work on, since there are no arty in the Cav, IIRC.

Ok I was just getting through another chapter and he mentioned there were some engines and stuff they had to take care of.

So basically he works on small arms (pistols etc), large arms (rifles, smg's, mg's) and thats mainly his work but apparently he does some vehicle work form time to time. So is 45B correct then or is he something else? He works in an "armory" or "shop" as he calls it. As now it seems he is more a 45K as far as I can gather. http://usmilitary.about.com/library/...jobs/bl45k.htm

Major duties.The armament repairer supervises and performs direct and general support and depot level maintenance/repairs on the mechanisms/systems of tank turrets/Weapons, fighting vehicles, towed/self-propelled artillery, small arms and other infantry weapons.

Thanks!

Sounds very much like an RAEME Armourer or fitter and turner in the Australian army. An interesting job if you like the technical side of guns, but I'm not technically minded so it'd drive me nuts.
