I just got out of AIT and got to my unit and there isnt very much of our equipment. My NCOs all say different stuff about deployments, it varies from sitting around to some saying they went out on patrols. Im just looking to get a greater understanding of the MOS.

So, on deployment it all depends on the equipment being used. Sometimes theres work and sometimes theres not. In my case there was work, lads were being used and they needed servicing but when that was done I worked with fellow MOS's on their equipment(my choice) instead of getting put on details with little gain. Cross train and become an asset to your unit instead of just waiting on your mos specific equipment it helps everyone out and you gain more knowledge.

As a 91j on deployment i will say nothing you will sometimes work on other equipment but you are difinetely never working on the equipment you’ve worked on before just take it for what it is and learn something and yes you going to be on guard duty most of the time

Depends on your unit, if they don’t really need your MOS and are short isn’t he line platoons you can end up in one of those. That’s how I became a 12B and an 88M lol.
