What's your MOS (Military Occupational Specialty)?

DAMMIT! They have Canvas Repair Specialists in the Army? UGH! And here I've been wasting 11 years on a TANK! Man, I really screwed my life up... LOL. No, seriously, though, every job in the Army is important. I have a buddy of mine that's a 74B, that's like an Info Systems guy. Like data entry/ programming. That's a COOL MOS.
 
If I'd have thought it through, I would have gone laundry and bath. Think about it. Clean clothes and a shower EVERY day, in the FIELD!
 
:lol:

Our major used to tell us we would be best qualified for the 101st Messkit Cleaning Battalion.

What does a Canvas Repair Specialist do exactly? Would you be attached to another unit or is it a garrison position?
 
Mainly repaired canvas ;)
You know, that stuff that kept you (somewhat) dry while in a tent or vehicle?
I was attached to a maintenance troop (company), 2 of us for an entire Regiment. Mainly, I fixed the zippers on humvees and repaired tents. Sometimes we made custom tents and stuff for the brass, like a TOC extension or cargo covers on humvees with pintle mounts. Usually, though, I helped out the machinists, carpenters, welders, and other guys in my section. If you could think it, we could build it.

Probably just your basic 11B. I'm not sure... a friend of mine is a Ranger. Kinda gives me motivation to go for that, but...

screw that man, I'm going for my tab. Hell, as soon as I hit O-2 Promotable, I'm sending in my packet to SFAS
 
Pretty much. What do you think happens when soldiers get free reign of a machine shop? Well, they REinvent the science of ballistics, of course. I'm still nopt sure if using a nitrogen bottle as a projectile is legal, but it sure is fun!
 
Not sure what batt... and i'm not sure when he'll be home next. Is there any way we could look it up online? His name is [removed by Admin ;) ]
 
It should be possible to find out online, but I removed the name.
You never know who's watching these forums...

OPSEC! :rambo:
 
Hi all - I'm new to the forum and just found this discussion interesting. Some of you have great plans for your future military careers and I wish you all the luck in the world. Just don't be too discouraged if your 1st choices don't pan out. It's always good to have a backup plan and to remain flexible and never lose sight of your goals.

Just saw this. Good catch Redleg. Remember PERSEC. No names on an open forum. Always PM or E-mail.

As for being able to look him up online, no. Short of being able to get in touch with his family, or someone that knows him .. you won't be able to find out any info.
 
How did that work, if you don't mind my asking? I mean being a mechanic and a "food service specialist?" Did you do both jobs at the same time?

The way I was told is that because there were no slots open in food service the mess sgt made room for me but if there was a need for personel in the motor pool I would go back there since my primary MOS was light wheeled vehicle mechanic
