So I’ve been going on tour of duty recently and looking at optional deployments, and I’m at 91B now But I’ve been thinking about deploying as a different MOS I know it’s possible because my cousin as well as a person in my unit. who of course I can’t contact. I more less just wanted to know where it would state wether that you have to be that MOS for that deployment.

It means the position is restricted to a specific MOS, or MOS series, so applicants who are not qualified are not eligible to apply. Conversely, if there are no MOS restrictions for a position, anyone meeting the rank specifications is eligible to apply.

Look at the duty title of the position, if it sounds like something you can do, apply for it. Most positions are not MOS specific (from what I've seen)

What may be more effective for you though is to network with your unit to find out who is in the mobilization cell at your higher command. They would much rather activate people who want to go in lieu of those who are trying to avoid it.
