I’m a transportation officer with a bachelors degree in Aerospace Engineering. I like engineering and logistics both.

I’d look at Operational Test Command at Hood or Aberdeen.

1LT Private RallyPoint Member take your handy dandy CAC and log on to FMS web. Do a search of personnel MOSs by MaCOM and your answer will be revealed.

Based on academic back ground you could choose space operations as a functional area. dA PAM600-3 is the reference. It's a one way ticket though.

If your goal is to be a general stay logistics/transportation. I will give you an example. At Ford Ord in 78-82 I was in the division main as a cw2. Discom commander was col Eugene Lanzillo. He was a Harvard grad. Kissengers speech writer as a LTC. He knew nothing about supply. He used to stop bye one a month to get classes from me in my office. He would say chief give some of that terrible black coffee and a cigarette. Do you not dare tell my wife. Well one day when all the soldiers were doing pt I get a call from his secretary. The col wants you in his readiness brief. Now. Yes mam I said. I arrive in the conference room and go to sit in the rear when he sees me. Next to him is some major. He says major get out of the chiefs seat. So first thing on his mind is what about my truck. M880. Dodge truck. What does it need Craig. I say carburator. Do you have any? I say no but that major there he supports ops guy has a credit card and he can go buy on or ten. He stands up and says major do you have a impact credit card. Yes sir but I do not now how to use it. Lanzillo says you have one hour to get the part and have it installed. Any way I pulled the division from 60 percent to 92 in ten minutes. He made 2 star. My ordnance two battalion commanders made ltg. Hite and Benchoff. True story.
