[@HappyHermitt]

I knew PT maxxers that sucked at their role and MOS. But that's the Army...

[@aeonversestudios01]

@@HappyHermitt When I was in basic our PG was an 09S with a great amount of discipline and outward aptitude for leadership. The drill sergeants fired him from the position because he didn't max out his PT score and gave it to an engineer who did who was neither good at the role nor wanted it. They then realized they were stupid and reinstated the old PG. PT should always be important but never a standard of leadership.

[@zoomdirt2]

Aviation is one of the best branches...super relaxed and you get to work on aircrafts and that usually transfers over to 6 figure jobs very easily

[@HappyHermitt]

Relaxed is right. I left an infantry unti in Italy to end up in a Chinook unit. It was literal culture shock. I was a 25 U.

[@Rome1sixteen]

If you’re looking to enlist, one thing you need to consider while watching these kinds of videos is that a lot of these factors he uses to rate the branches as best will depend on the unit you’re in. One thing he mentions a lot here is the idea of rucking a lot or spending time in the woods. For example if you’re in an infantry unit even as one of these other MOS you’re going to be held to infantry standards. So don’t expect to be a “soft skill” soldier and not still have some long, rough days.

I think a 68C (Practical Nurse Specialist) is a good choice. You get a great kickstart to a nursing career , paid for by the army! The cons are; 52 Weeks of AIT, rigorous schooling, 12 Hr shifts. Pros are; free nursing licenses, PT on your own (for most places, if you pass your initial PT test), Pride or taking care of military veterans/members/family, Experience. I became a 68C, and it’s a great choice. Just make sure you want to do nursing before you commit!

Just remember you have to have a qualifying score on the ASVAB for schooling and you must be able to pass a Gov't security clearance for some. I knew some guys that blew away the ASVAB and could pick anything but they had some trouble not passing the security clearance.

[@wixom01]

I was in the signal corp 1980-1983 as a radio teletype operator, attached to the 11th ACR in Fulda, West Germany. We worked shifts to keep our radio on the air 24/7 365. When we had the staff I'd work 3 day shifts, then get three days off. Then 3 night shifts, then 3 more days off! Most of the time I could sleep on the night shift. I was on separate rations and lived in downtown Fulda. Man, it was great duty!

[@timt2268]

I would say the Ordnance Corps has the most opportunity. Signal may be more diverse, but the Ordnance folks make up maintenance, missiles, and munitions. Don’t forget EOD is also in that field. As a former Ordnance Warrant, maybe a little biased but also accurate.

Medical MOSs are good yes indeed! Donny Klein can confirm. Wheeled mechanic, yes, Christopher Chaos can confirm this. Signals, well, that's Matt's MOS. Seems legit.

[@HappyHermitt]

Choose a MOS that won't limit where you can go. As an old 25 U, (31U in the 90s) I could've gone almost anywhere. It's good, and it's bad. I was in a Logistics unit, then an Airborne Infantry unit, them to an Aviation unit. (CH47). That was literal culture shock. I believe the Chemical/NBC MOS moves up in rank fast. Choose wisely... I've worked in IT and Telecommunications since ETSing.

Quick question: why does every recruiter describe deployments during reserves (and one guy even described active duty like this) as “on a volunteer basis”? I know there’s the option for deployment if they ask you personally that you can deny or accept, but if your unit is called to deploy doesn’t than mean you have to go? How often does that actually happen in the reserves?

[@GoDaveGo]

Yes, they are mandatory. The Army Reserve houses logistics soldiers. The Active Duty Army does not have enough logistics to support itself, so the Reserve is deployed accordingly. The Army National Guard is a complete organization-combat arms and support-so they also deploy. And the state can call you up if you are National Guard. So it’s tough on a civilian career, but has perks.

[@JocJr44444444]

Not bad but forgot Quartermasters! It’s a reason why they are the second oldest branch after Infantry.
