91C will be great for post army life. Are you active or reserve/guard?

You can get good jobs in food service, I managed a kitchen but had to stop due to injuries sustained while deployed

a position with federal corrections will allow you to count your military time towards federal retirement.

Consider certifications in each; Department of Labor forecasts (growth, salary) if you plan on getting out; promotion history/potential if you plan on staying.

Research each well and make a good decision. I was mostly always Supply. Except for 8 years as a primary additional MOS as Combat Engr. I ended up back as a Supply Sergeant. I had a pretty good career. Best advice I can give is choose wisely, but it’s always nice to have a secondary.

I've spent most of my army career in supply, so I obviously have a bit of a bias towards supply. Depending on your priorities and preferences, working in supply can be a very rewarding MOS or a very problematic MOS. Practically every unit in all three components need a supply SGT, so you won't ever have to worry about being limited to a single branch when you're a 92Y. If you ever want to become a warrant officer, you can become one with a specialty in supply. There's always work to do in supply, so boredom shouldn't be an issue for you no matter if you're in garrison or on a deployment.

There is a lot of responsibility with being a 92Y though. The Commander will look to you to ensure his/her property is properly accounted for and the supply paperwork is complete and accurate. Change of command inventories are typically the busiest times for 92Ys as that's when all the items on the property book (and all of the components to such items) has to be inventoried by the incoming Commander. If your unit has a lot of vehicles or technical equipment, this can be a very time-consuming task.

What ever your willing to invest the time and effort into, to become exceptional in that feild. If your not trying to excell, you're wasting the time and resources of others for your own personal gain.

And by the way, switching could make you ineligible for your sign on bonus. In fact if you haven't served out your contract, you could be required to repay part or all of it

SPC Joseph L. Corrections pays great at the city and county and state levels also. Once in the system it's easy to become a police officer or many civil service jobs. If you go in the Federal prisons there may be a age limit. But since you have food service. Once an opening comes up. You can apply for cook that usually makes more money than Corrections officers. Although all prison staff are C/O,s. Just put in all government jobs. And they usually take awhile. Good Luck.

Unit Supply Specialist I will take. Currently a 91C.Don't get to do my job and always on other details. Looking to re-class next year when my window opens. But do your research and find which of those jobs you like.

Making points for 91c is tough but it can be done. And the fact units don’t really know how to use us properly. I’m a 91c for about 3 years. So choose wisely. It’s a good job tho I have learned a lot throughout. And I’m crossed trained on several jobs
