21E in a 21B unit. Later on a 21E unit and hated it. We had 21J, 21F, and 21E all doing the same thing, playing 21B.

The Army needs to get over it and combine all of these MOS already.

I was a Machinist Mate in the Navy. I enjoyed it mostly because I was a fresh air Snipe instead of a hole Snipe.

Quoted:
91W, later changed to 68W.

This essentially.

91W1O, which became 68W1P "Health Care Specialist" aka a Combat Medic.

I enjoyed parts of it, but that's probably because I deployed within 3 weeks of getting to the 82nd, and I actually got to contribute. I didn't have to do the dumb range duty or busy work, and I really appreciated that.

Man...bunch of POGs in here

11B then 11A...

Ahem!

I'm a REMF.

Posted: 1/22/2011 8:24:34 PM EDT

[#14]

There's a difference between a REMF and a POG.

REMF = Rear Echelon Mother F***er - a term of derision used to describe those in cushy jobs in the rear who deliberately work to avoid seeing combat. Intended as an insult.

POG (or pogue) = Person Other than Grunt - a term used to classify a servicemember who is not combat infantry. Not necessarily intended as an insult.

As a medic I could technically be considered a "POG", as my MOS isn't 11B or 0311 or anything like that, but I can't be considered a REMF, as I was involved in direct ground fighting in a combat zone. Being called a POG isn't a bad thing.

Well... I deployed to Iraq to fix cable (AFN) TV.

Do the math.

I'm just gonna take a stab at it and say "seven" as I'm not up to speed with this new math with letters and such.

I came out of SOI a 0311, but went to STA for a few months, then to a javelins platoon when they needed IFAV drivers. There I learned most of the 0351's job including Demo, Javelins and 0331. Then went to the CO. HQ as police Sgt/ Embark. After that came back to the Javelins platoon, trained new IFAV drivers and became a TOW VC in the CAAT Plt. when CAAT and Javelins integrated. There I learned the 0352 field, and ALMOST got sent to school to make it legit.

If my company actually kept records and did things right, I'd have a Primary MOS of 0311, and about 4-5 secondary MOS's from all the OTJ training instead of just 0331.
Basically the only job I didn't do in a Infantry Wpns company is mortars.

I see the MOS for medic and practical nurse has changed since I was in . Now something like 68W and 68WM6. I was a 91A (medic) and 91C (PN)

ETA -Whiskey is appropriate for these jobs.

Tactical Switching System Operator.

I am proud of the fact that I was Signal, what amazes me is the low number of Light Wheeled Vehicle Mechanics, Cooks, and supply clerks. It seems that everybody here was either in a highly technical field or combat arms, with a couple of medical people being the exception.

Quoted:
31C Single channel radio operator. I knew I had made a mistake when after basic they sent me to learn how to type. 3 weeks of typing, followed by the radio stuff... .

I was also a 31C.

Spent a lot of time sitting in a Ratt Rig in Germany. It could have been much worse, and at least I learned how to type! (as much as Army typing school sucked this is a skill I use to this day, unlike the other 99% of what I learned in the Army).

Tiger Tough!
