I have a lot of respect for anyone that could do this. I could handle a lot, but anything like this

[@bobdouglas9599]

These solider are really our unsung hero. These soldiers make sure our fallen hero’s make it home

A little over 14 years ago, I saw this as one of my options when I tried to enlist in the Army right after high school (at Coolidge, Arizona). I had taken a pre-ASVAB test and scored somewhere between 40-60. This was one of the primary options alongside Unit Supply Specialist. I didn't want to do either. I was actually trying to become a Telecommunications Specialist (72E/25D). I complained to the sergeants at the Casa Grande Recruiting Station that I don't see Telecomm on the list. One of them told me I didn't qualify for a Top Secret clearance because I haven't received my citizenship certificate and was under "Permanent Resident" status. Tried to do something similar in the Navy (IT), but civilian representatives told me I couldn't get a TS because my mom was living in PI, therefore, disqualifying me from working on any communications system. I ended up becoming an Aviation Electrician (AE) and loving it as I worked on F/A-18 Hornets. Looking to go back to service (the right way) through the Army's WOFT program. So, I guess I got that going for me now!

[@MayaMachelle]

This is so cool and such a great story to tell..definition of keeping your head up!

[@mgharden04]

Update? Did you get into WOFT?

[@mparssfo]

So you came here to say you weren't very smart and didn't want this job. Like, you can barely complete a coherent sentence level un-intelligent. Yet, you came here to tell us how much you didn't want either career path. Ok. Big win for you I guess? Pos.

[@armybeef68]

"(72E/25D)" Why are you using old MOS's?

[@estherposala6610]

Aloha SSG McRAE still remember our class back in 2018 best lectures I’ll never miss.

[@nickcc2003]

As a 91B , 12 years to include earning my CMB, this MOS May not get the glory but by God they are needed

[@mlk9062]

😀😀😀that’s me right there, FT was great🇺🇸💪🏼

[@vincentdemarro2989]

My father was a Graves Registration during the Korean War. Sounds like this job. Definitely a tough job.

[@MrZanarkand007]

This was my mos back in 08 but i later reclassed to an 88m.

[@scotteric8711]

I almost thought this was the newest recruiting ad..

[@anibalcesarnishizk2205]

No movie on these people.They have to recover bodies or what is left.

[@marlonmoncrieffe0728]

There is the excellent 'The Messenger' (2009) but that is not really the same job.

[@besol55]

There's a film called "Taking Chance" 2009 with Kevin Bacon probably as close as you'll get.

[@ferrisxlove]

This is the evolution of the graves registration unit. Interesting.

[@NgJackal1990]

My advice for you is: to search and see some gored images. The more you see, the less it will feel in the real life.

[@geraldwestphipps764]

I served in two different branches (Marines and Army) and never knew this was an MOS option.

[@cje3247]

What do you think happened to those killed in war?

[@Nathaniel-qi5pn]

@geraldwestphipps764 which was better

[@Vampybattie]

I want this mos but it’s such small mos it’s hard to get this job

[@breadman4931]

I got offered this job

[@liszosorio5027]

I got this job! I’m shipping April 10th! So close can’t wait!

[@marlonmoncrieffe0728]

​Which boot camp are you currently in, ​@@liszosorio5027 Jackson? Leonard Wood? Sill? P.S. By the way, I am an 88N and had my AIT at Fort Lee, VA where the 92Ms train!

[@alkalionpower]

@@liszosorio5027 you still like this mos?

[@huydo1993]

Lol I know weyrick guy in the vid

[@hypermotivateinc]

Where do 92m get stationed ?

[@shanellebounds4204]

VA, and Hawaii mostly. But there are spots everywhere in the world. But those are the main ones.

[@victorescobedo372]

That's me hella yea

[@MrTd234]

You mind if I ask you a question

[@raquelrojas423]

LOL hi Escobedo

[@GrimAlmightyy]

How does this translate to the civilian side?

[@BigTuna69VCR]

I would assume working in a morgue. A guy I know works as the County Mortician where I live and he says it's a good job.

[@armybeef68]

Really? You seriously did not just ask that question, what are you? Like 9?

[@jaygarcia1924]

Do these guys assist by burying the fallen in the cemetery? As in folding the flag, final salute

[@marlonmoncrieffe0728]

No, they simply collect the dead and categorize their belongings.

[@MICHAELSMITH-jh5vy]

no there is a detail for that

[@MICHAELSMITH-jh5vy]

there is a E7 in the US Army detailed with a team to communicate with the family and to perform the ceremonies

[@MICHAELSMITH-jh5vy]

called a Casualty Assistance Officer

[@jaygarcia1924]

@@MICHAELSMITH-jh5vy okay and question do these guys like carry guns or its legit no combat mos

[@sunnyk6437]

pay range?

[@7stasins314]

Wdym pay range you all army gets equal pay unless you rank up or as special officer

[@Vampybattie]

No pay range it goes by rank lol

[@thewolf9816]

2:54 Why this is important.

[@Bloodbath1787]

There is no hope for the future of Mortuary Affairs Specialist. This MOS destroys people, many who have never even processed a remain.

[@shanellebounds4204]

I mean… they do let you know you can tell your higher ups you want to change mos. It’s a difficult mos, but every mos has its difficulties.

[@ejd7881]

who would want to join to army and do this. the ones that really don't want to see combat
