I love my job, but I was supposed to be a 15t (Blackhawk) rather than a 15r (apache).

The recruiter couldn't get me into the army for 4 months due to ait backlog (guess this is true, I have no way of knowing), so I picked apaches instead.

Only reason I may have picked differently was to be able to fly rather than crew from the ground.

I think it depends more on the individual than anything.  But personally I would say either Military Police or Recruiter.  Both very important jobs that most people wouldn't want to do.  MP doesn't have the best hours and another MOS that is hard to get promoted in.  Recruiter is more of an isolated job and you gotta be very ambitious in my opinion to succeed at it.  But again, I've never done either one of them.

I once sought to do a lateral move to another MOS and determined cooks and armorers as MOS's that put in time!  These guys are up before anybody else and racks out after everybody else.  They have to have the chow hall or armory ready before anybody is awake and they have to clean up after everybody or conduct accountability of serialized equipment after everything is turned in and people are secured for the evening.

Realistically, an 88m, truck driver, because that rolls over into other types of jobs outside the Armed Forces. Secondly, I would be a 13B, cannon remember, because I believe artillery represents our Country, and is amazing to see in person.

I updated this thread a bit to correct a few words.

However studies have found that a person whom works as a dishwasher getting a high salary pay is less happier then one whom is (passion for photography) working in that field is. Further it is also known that the one whom is working in the photography field is less attentive to there income as someone whom is a dishwasher.


I used those careers as samples only, but while no one really desires to be a dish washer (Change dishwasher for a job you don't like). The photographer (Change photographer for a job you have a deep passion for), is most likely to work for less pay if need to for the sake of doing what they enjoy most or what they are good at.


These studies done however are out dated and don't match todays present time condition, but many whom are doing what they enjoy are happier then those whom are doing work they really dislike.

Knowing this, if every one were doing what they enjoy would this change the military over all for the better?
