Is there a set of 5-minute videos for each of the MOS's regardless of service?

It would be cool if there were a 5-minute of each MOS showing something thorough, like a week in the life of people in this specialty. Recruiters should show this to prospects to give them a more informed set of options. Family and potential recruits can see what they do, how they can be successful, what to do to prepare, and what kind of servicemen (in that MOS) do best and rise through the ranks, what people can do to have the life they want in the military., what they can do or not do to earn more money, get educated, and have a job after the military. It might help weed out people who will definitely NOT succeed in this field, or that.

If someone makes one for Cryptologic Technicians. Please share it with me. I would love it although I suspect that if you did and it was current you would be in Leavenworth so fast it would make your head spin.

SPC Alejandro Martinez, Yes, why is there a box of donuts featured here? Hey, it worked; you got me to respond! When I enlisted back in the Dark Ages (1990), the Recruiter did have a disc system (circa late 70s tech) that featured a 5-7 minute video on each MOS, followed by a 5-7 minute video about each MOS's AIT and the respective installation each AIT then called home. I don't know if such material still exists, but I would bet it still does. I would recommend contacting a local Recruiting Office and asking them, as they are more in the business of marketing and making the sale (getting a prospect to sign the contract) than are the Installation Retention NCOs, who don't have to sell you so hard on the Army. Hope this advice helps!

SPC Alejandro Martinez, actually there are videos regatrding most MOSs on YouTube, although they are not 5 minutes long. This is the USAREC YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/USArmyRecruiting

Here are a couple of links to the MOSs that I had:

I'm not sure about the Army, but the Navy's official Youtube channel has videos explaining our different ratings.
