<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>At Fort Bliss, 88m'd are very active. With track vehicles, Bradley's and Abram's, they get transported to all training areas. 1070's are always on the road.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>True story on both accounts. I reclassed to 91B (back to the Ordnance Corps, where my heart belongs) when I came active, but when I was deployed, I volunteered to help buffer the redeployment of a Trans co, and the assumption of responsibility of the incoming Trans org. <br /><br />I drove M1070 and PLS between AQ-COP North and TQ, as well as BIAP. Days in between missions were spent PMCSing and waiting around.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Drive The Truck... Sorry <a class="dark-link bold-link" role="profile-hover" data-qtip-container="body" data-id="445893" data-source-page-controller="question_response_contents" href="/profiles/445893-88m-motor-transport-operator">SGT Private RallyPoint Member</a> .... That just made me think of an incident back in 85/86, when I was an Armor LT and I asked one of our HHT truck drivers to do something other than driving... and this young PFC looked at me and said &quot;Sir, I do three things Drive, The, Truck!&quot; That still makes me laugh...

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>All Depends on the Units mission, in Germany I drove 915&#39;s all over Germany delivering Mail to the US Bases. Was gone all week and home on the weekends. State side I drove HETTS, moving tracks from and to the field and to gunnery. Just all depends on the mission.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>We'll being a fueler I work r ight along side 88m. 88m active duty is like being a universal soldier you'll do ammo you'll do fuel you could do a lot of different jobs. Promotion points for 88m are low right now so that's a plus

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>We have a Composite Truck Company. Lots of PMCS, in and around trans missions for PLS systems, line haul of tracks with our HETS. Not a lot for our light trucks. When we use Pinion Canyon, lots of multi day , over highway line haul , assuming state convoy clearances are on track.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>88M MOS is the most numerous MOS in the Total Army. At the lower levels I agree it is PMCS and truck driving or being a motor pool rat. As the ranks get higher your looking at convoy planning, motor pool management, and some other nuances of logistics. Accident reporting is in there somewhere for all levels. <br /><br />Check out STP 55-88M14-SM-TG if you haven't already. Chapter 4 has duty position descriptions.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Depends on duty station. I have been at 3 post and all were different. One post, FT Bragg 647th QMCO HEAVY DROP Airborne, I as a SPC was in charge of 14 soldiers and 40 vehicles. We were busy all day every day. Schofield Barracks in Hawaii we were doing a LOT of hip-pocket training. FT Hood we were always supporting tanks and Bradleys, as well as 1st CAV. Each post and unit are different. Don't judge entire Army by one place or NCO or command. Grass maybe greener on the other side, or not. Make your Army career whatever you want.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Pmcs, dispatching trucks, pulling weeds in the motor pool, sergeant major detail, cutting grass in your company area, cutting grass in your battalion area, raking leaves in your company/battalion areas. Cleaning out trucks, being the mechanics bitch while they do services on your platoons vehicles, standing around talking while you wait for formation at 1700. Oh and occasionally driving a truck somewhere. I was an 88m for 9 years before I reclassed to 11b. I don't miss it.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If you’re not on rear D and your vehicle is not overseas you’ll be inspecting your vehicle if it’s not pulled into the bay and being worked on after that you’ll be going over equipment and then if you don’t have anything else to do you might want to work on college courses trying to figure out what kind of degree you want for when you get out. You’re going to have a lot of downtime when you are back home. Especially if you wind up in Oklahoma
