If you could pick any MOS, rank, and/or branch in the Military, what would it be?

Well SGT R. In my time

The number 1 hardest MOS was the Russian language. ( I don't why, but the Russian language was perhaps not as easy as one may have thought. But that was then. )

The number 2 hardest MOS was Air Traffic Control. ( I know about this because I went to Ft. Rucker ATC School personally and graduated to be followed by my FAA certification. During my time we had no Warrants, and the first few hours upon entry your offered the honors to memorize a 50 mile radius map, 6 mis-approach plates verbatim. 8 hours later you will take an exam to reproduce every thing you saw. Every one starts with a 100, if you get 1 digit wrong or 1 letter wrong that is a minus 1. 70 is passing, you pass that you go to the next room, CTO "Control Tower Operator", here your hit hard with meteorology to the point you think your a weather man, then every thing needed according to the 7110.65 handbook. I can keep going but I will stop here. )

Today I don't know which is the hardest MOS, but ATC went warrant so you will find Warrant officers in that MOS. :) also with computers involved I guess many things changed as well.

One thing I will say is that during the Ragan administration when the Air Traffic Controllers went on strike and FIRED, it was the Army Air Traffic Controllers whom were picked to handle that job. So this should say something.

SGT Roney, great question. I honestly don't know what is the hardest MOS since there are difficulities within each one. I've been a 92Y my whole career and it's had ups and downs.

A couple things I can point out and attest to with my MOS. First, it does tend to be a lonely and thankless job. Supply SGTs generally work alone or sometimes with one MAYBE two clerks. You also get many people who get disgruntled with supply, or have a negative perception of us. Yes, there are some bad supply personnel just as there are bad personnel in every MOS. Equally so, there are many good and great ones too. The biggest gripe I fight against is that supply thinks all of the "stuff" is theirs and they just can't part with it. I despise that because I know I am NOT like that at all. If my section (Supply Room or S4) is asked for something then I will do what I can to get it.

  The second thing is kind of funny. When this type of subject comes up in discussions, I ask Soldiers if they'd like to switch jobs, if they'd like to do supply stuff. The majority of answers I get is "Heck no, I definitely don't want to do that. Too hard." or something to that effect.
