MOS 12R Interior Electrician

[@ThePshull]

Very proud of these Soldiers. They are highly sought-after resources by the warfighters and they are few in number which often results in an extremely high optempo. When they are done with service Schneider Electric would love to have them on the team!

I've been there 3 years ago and that was the best choice I made.

@@tanner5209 - Yep. The way it works is: You're a soldier first, you're a soldier second, and you do your MOS when the Army feels it's needed. You're a 12 Detail 11 months and 2 weeks out of the year and a 12 Romeo maybe 2 weeks out of that year. (field training and NTC)

[@ericcord1510]

I was an Army Electrician. Assigned to the 11th Engineer Bn. (Combat) As part of a Brigade combat team, You will do what the mission requires. Bridges, Culverts, rapid runway repair and any and all of that while Combat ready. If the unit gets called for an IED you will disarm it or explode it safely. In the States. Your training command will bid for contracts on bases in your region. One summer we did a laundromat. But that is very rare. As an engineer you are an essential part the most experienced military in the world. The 6 week AIT is self paced. Most finish in 3 weeks. Your AIT is also part of One Station Unit Training. OSUT. Meaning basic training Combat Engineer Training and AIT with the same unit and same Drill Instructors.

[@mandidenise17]

With all due respect, self paced???? I went through AIT Bravo 269 Ft. LW in 2019 as a 12R...there was no self pace. 6 and a half weeks was the full length. You had to do the full training and pass/fail, either you graduated or were retained for one more cycle or if failed recycled back into a different MOS somewhere else. 🤔 Also, not trying to be an asshole, but what year was that?

[@ericcord1510]

I finished the 51r10 course in 17 days. That was in the 1980s. Frankly, the mos has not changed, the merging of the 51 series with the 12 series is more honest of the Army. Considering the 12B mos is a combat engineer. There is one other course the Engineer school requires of. Future engineers. Combat Engineer Training. Which lasted two weeks in the 1980s. For the record I didn't bother to correct all the people who were misleading with their comments. I simply gave the information people considering the MOS should know. I will now include the OSUT requirement. Meaning the prospective engineer student will be in the same unit with the same Drill Instructors for basic as for CET and AIT. Where most other MOS students go to a new school or even a new training center where their schools last months, the Engineer student stays with the same unit. With all due respect everything I have posted is without malice, completely honest, well intended and coming from an actual army interior electrician.

[@marlonmoncrieffe0728]

I had two 12Rs in my platoon alone, at Fort Leonard Wood, and they were NOT doing OSUT.

[@ericcord1510]

@@marlonmoncrieffe0728 OSUT = One Station Unit Training. The same Drill Instructors and same Unit for Basic, CET, and AIT. Everyone in the Company is doing OSUT. So a platoon being part of the company is too. It is best to never pretend you know something. Instead learn about it from those who do.

[@marlonmoncrieffe0728]

...I know what OSUT is, @@ericcord1510 . And they were NOT doing OSUT. They trained at a company with non-12Rs before leaving elsewhere.

[@oliverallen5324]

I wonder if anyone ever does multiple enlistments in the 12s and leave to become general contractors. 12R(interior Electr) with 12W(Carpentry & masonry) and 12K(Plumber) sounds like a very strong skillset.

[@__prometheus__]

Once you reach SSG you basically become a 12H, which does all those things. My Drill Sergeant during AIT was a 12H (was 12R beforehand)
