US Army MOS (Army jobs)

in this video we were talking about military occupational skills in the United States Army otherwise known as an MOS what's up friends I am US Army veteran Christopher Kaos and in this video I'm going to be talking about MOS Azure military occupational skills for the u.s. army now some of you out there may have seen stuff like in comments from my videos or other veterans or active duty military guys where someone may be asking them what is your MOS or what was your MOS or maybe you're just hearing it maybe out in public where someone is talking to a veteran or an active duty army guy and asking them about their MOS so the MOS is a designator that is assigned to that soldier to represent or whatever it is that they do in the Army what their job is what their occupation is in the US Army now for this video I'm mainly just gonna break down and listed soldier mo SS because that's kind of where the bulk is at unless we're talking about aviation because aviation has a bunch for a warrant officers and then there are some other fields that have a lot of officer MOS isn't that a lot of enlisted but as a whole majority of the MOS designators are mainly enlisted so first things first when a soldier joins the army usually they decide what they want to do in the army with a recruiter now based on their ASVAB score and physicals and other stuff then that's where they are able to decide what MOS they qualify for and what they would like to do in the army they then sign a contract and then sooner or later they're off to basic training after a soldier completes basic training then they start the process of learning how to do that skill in the US Army this school is commonly known as AIT or advanced individual training so soldiers will do basic training in one location and then often go somewhere else for AIT but that's not always the case for example an infantry soldier they may do their basic training in Fort Benning and then stay in Fort Benning to continue doing their infantry training now for other skills they may do their basic training in one location take off to another and then depending on what their skill is will determine how long they're gonna be doing their AIT for as an example in 1999 I went to basic training in Fort Benning Georgia after I was done with my eight weeks of basic training I went to Fort Leonard Wood Missouri for five weeks 488 mic training which is transportation so that is how a soldier does their training to do their military occupational skill now let's talk about the actual MOS itself that way you maybe you have a better understanding of when someone says that they are an 88 Mike or were an 11 Bravo or whatever the case might be maybe have a little bit better understanding of what that means so now there are two parts to that MOS designator one being a number which that number represents the branch or the field of expertise that soldier works in the next piece is a letter and that letter designator kind of breaks down a little bit more to say what exactly they do in that branch or expertise so there are over a hundred mo SS I cannot break down every single one so we're gonna grab a handful of them but we are going to go through basically almost every category there are some really special categories that may only have one MOS or they may only really before officers so be aware that I am NOT going to break down in this video every single branch in every single MOS now it's probably also important to note that some of these MOS designators do change and in fact there may even be some of this video that I may talk about that may have already changed and I'm just not aware of it because what the army will do is sometimes they'll realize that hey this job and this job if we combine them together it'll be a lot simpler and we'll just have this new designator to represent this job of combining these two together so sometimes the army will do that so I apologize if there are some designators in here that I talked about that have already changed to something else so next I'm gonna go through some of the MOS is in the different branches just so you have a general idea of what number represents what branch and a few of the MOS that are involved with it I cannot go through every single one so I'm just gonna pick and choose a handful here and there out of each branch and talk to maybe just really briefly about it to tell you what it is so first up let's get into the eleventh series which is the infantry branch one of them that you may already be familiar with which is an 11 Bravo and that is an infantryman also inside eleventh series is an 11 charlie which is a mortarman and then there are a couple other ones that are or kind of involved with senior leaders and officers let's move on to the 12 series which are the engineers we have a 12 Bravo which is a combat engineer we have a 12 kilo which is a plumber and no that doesn't mean they run around unclogging toilets and stuff usually they're laying like pipes for water to be able to get to people maybe set in that portable showers or something I'll use it along those lines they're not like your plumber like you would think of in a civilian world you also have a 12 Mike which is a firefighter and a 12 Yankee which is a geospatial engineer let's move on a 13 series which is the field artillery branch you have a 13 Foxtrot which is a fire support specialist you have a 13 Bravo which is a cannon crewman and a 13 Juliet which is a fire control specialist so under the fourteenth series which is an air defense Artillery branch you have a 14 echo which is a patriot fire control operator you have 14 Hotel which is an air defense warning system operator you have a 14 CR which is an Avenger crew member and no we're not talking about Marvel's Avengers here and a 14 tango which is a patriot launching station operator next we have the 15 series which is the aviation branch most of the aviation MLS's are born officers but there are a good handful of enlisted MOS s for example we have a 15 Foxtrot which is an aircraft electrician 15 November is an avionics mechanic and a 15 whiskey which is an unmanned aerial vehicle operator or UAV operator you then have your 18 series which is your Special Forces it is important though to note that this is not a branch you can just go to AIT for you join the army and then you go through another selection thing that involves being selected for the Special Forces and then whatever MOS you had then moves over to this Special Forces MOS so in this category you have an 18 Bravo which is a Special Forces weapons sergeant an 18 Delta which is a Special Forces medical sergeant and an 18 Foxtrot which is a Special Forces intelligence sergeant your 19 series is going to be your armor a 19 Delta is a CAF Scout and a 19 kilo which is your m1 Abrams crewmen the 25 series is going to be this Signal Corps 25 charlie is a radio operator and maintainer a 25 Mike is a multimedia illustrator and a 25 uniformed is a signal support system special you're 31 series is going to be your military police 31 Bravo is a military police officer and if everyone Delta is your CID special agent the 68 series is going to be the medical department now a lot of the MOS is in the medical field are all 68 series but the enlisted side is on the 68 series there are actually a lot of MOS in the medical field that involve officers and warrant officers that is not a 68 but again we're talking about the enlisted side so let's talk about a couple of the enlisted MOS is in the medical field a 68 echo is a dental specialist a 60 Foxtrot is a physical therapy specialist and your 68 whiskey is your combat medic specialist next up we have your 88 series which is your logistical branch and that is what I was when I was in the Army now that includes things like an 88 Hotel which is a cargo specialist an ad Lima which is a watercraft engineer and an 88 Mike which is what my MOS was and that is a motor transportation operator mayor 89 91 and 94 series are going to be ammunition and ordnance and other things that kind of hurt bundle in there those are things like an 89 Bravo which is an ammo specialist 91 golf which is a fire control repair and a 94 Sierra which is a patriot systems repair the 92 series is your quartermaster branch those are things like a 92 Foxtrot which say petroleum specialist and a 92 Yankee which is your unit supply specialist so there you go they're a good handful of MOS in the US Army there are a ton more that I cannot just put in this same video because it would be hours long most likely if I was explaining every single MOS in the Army now later I might do a video that breaks down just one branch in one video and if that's something you'd be interested in make sure to leave me some comments down below and maybe I'll create that here in the future if you are currently in the US Army or US Army veteran leave your homeless down the comments down below also if you're about to go in the army let me know what MOS you're interested in so thank you for watching the video if you liked it make sure to hit that thumbs up if you
