What is the 15H MOS like?

I'm prior service returning to active duty. I was disqualified from my original mos 19d due to an h2 profile. I'm looking to go 15h and was wondering What is the training like and what is the job like once you report to your duty station generally

Do you know of guy named SPC Afre? He was in the CAV, then became a 15H. So if you know him, you can ask him for his honest opinion.

Don’t do it get a better MOS there’s nothing cool about this job and there’s nothing beneficial about it. I thought the grass was greener on this side but it’s not. It’s long pointless hours doing a lot of busy work along with details cause we don’t get a whole lot of work. Going aviation is nothing like being a scout.

training is very basic and strait forward but they tend to teach task that aren't very common or super common no in between at your unit you might get tasked out if there isn't a lot of work at your shop

If you want something in the avaiton field go with powerplant or sheet metal they have more work less sitting around or being stuck on details

Don’t do it! Do 15U (chinook mech), 15T (UH-60 mech) or 15Q (air traffic controller). 15B (engine mech) or 15G (airframe) those are your best bets to transfer to civilian employment.

Well if you're planning on dropping a warrant packet go 15H.

It’s a good job. Allows you to work on all aircraft as opposed to just one airframe. I went way back in the gap when school was taught by the Air Force so the training was great.
