MOS 88M Motor Transport Operator

[@bkellewood6317]

All these crybabies on here hating on 88m are probably the ones who couldn't stand still in formation, and got their feeling hurt when PG shut them down. The experience is great. Plus once you get your cdl, you can get WORK ANYWHERE IN THE U.S.! This MOS gets you ready for a field with great pay.

[@jujagthemag]

Exactly. The civilian Motor Vehicles Operator DoD is paying 30 plus in Dc, MD, Va. that’s great pay with low stress. What’s to not like about that? Nothing.

If things hit the fan, I may join up again. I was a 13B but have been out for over a decade and am currently a truck driver. Sure, I would take a massive paycut but if it hits the fan, I may be needed. My main regret was not being an 88M when I was in.

[@comptonassbobby88]

Don't do it. Study for your asvab and get yourself a good MOS that will be useful to you when you get out. I've been an 88M for over 10 years. Soldiers quickly burn out in this MOS. There's not much to it. Lots of long days doing PMCS, dispatching trucks and whatever bullshit they can think of in the motorpool. Yes it will get you experience as a truck driver if that is important to you but you will not leave the service with a CDL unless you take a civilian course. Most states will still make you take the DOT test for your CDL so it's not like you can just walk right on the job. Bottom line, study and get yourself a good MOS that will set you up for success when you get out. Use this as a last resort if you don't qualify for anything else. Everyone I know in this job is considering what their next MOS will be when they are able to reclass.

88M (previously 64C), should only be assigned to Transportation units. The combat arms, combat support and other combat service support outfits have other MOS's driving their organic assets.
