What are deployments like for 88M?

Back in the day, they had one of the highest causality rates in Iraq. You had something like a 50/50 chance of catching an IED during your 16 month vacation to the sand box. Not fun. No idea what it's like these days, my guess would be that it's alot safer if you have to go past the wire now.

Lost of convoys and security missions

Back in my time 88m was the heavy wheeled operator. I believe that the most was readjusted to other mos' so the information that I can give you is about 30 yrs old. You will be able to try to look busy pcms can only take so much time. If I may suggest is that you work on college courses. Promotion points, and to also may ets out with a degree or maybe more. The transmission industry out here is turning into self driving. Truck8bg out here was and is so much work. Rewarding career. Be blessed

Driving, way too much time in the motor pool. You in most cases don't sleep on the ground. The sites of the different sceneries are priceless.

It depends on where you go really.

If ur in a bsb or fsc you will not get the same experience as a CTC in Poland

I'd u go on a rotational deployment to Poland as an 88m, more specifically in a composite truck company, you will be racking up all the miles and conducting to many convoys to even count. You will be doing them all over eastern europe. The experience is something I can't exactly describe with words.

If your in kuwait like me all you do is sit around or go on missions in civilians. Definitely not like back in the day.

I wouldnt consider this as a deployment but im at camp Humphreys in south korea and its really chill besides dealing with ammo

Just remember that convoys make juicy targets. Even insurgents understand that cutting supply lines can hurt the forward operating missions. IED's, VBIED's, snipers and the good old fashioned ambushes are a real threat. You will have support in as much as engineers doing their best to keep MSR's clear. Just remember your training and dont panic and you'll be white as rain
