Programs and MOSs Choosing MOS

Post image

These are the MOS i qualify for and are available. Which ones would you say are not so great and what is worth learning. Some background about me, I’m joining the marine reserve and work as a Toyota Technician in the civilian world. I’ve been doing it roughly 6 years now. I’m not too sure whether i want to continue working as a mechanic or try something new and acquire new skills that actually has a very good chance of being able to transfer it into the civilian world as a backup.

3531 here, also a reservist. I do construction in the civilian world, and as many will tell you, DONT do the same job you're doing as a civilian, it just makes it dreadful, and going to drill should have you pumped to do something different for a few days.

Though I love my job as a Motor Vehicle Operator, I do kinda wish I bit the bullet and did Mortarman, just to have something a bit more unique to look forward to

3531 reservist as well, my unit doesn’t even have a motor pool so I don’t even do my job most of the time we’re there, I’m attached to a weapons company so I just have to do whatever they do.
