It looks like based on USAREC 17-065 my reclass options will be limited to the 14 series (ADA). It seems to be a dying branch, however, given the events going on in the world today, which MOS is going to provide for the most practical experience? I prefer to not get stuck in an MOS behind a desk, or sitting on a FOB somewhere What is the most pertinent 14 series MOS given today's military climate? 2017-08-25T21:48:27-04:00 SSG Toryn Green 2867698 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I am in the process of re-enlisting into active duty after a year break.

You might think 14S is just parked on the FOB, which is stinger avenger/C-RAM. 14S deployment experiences are vastly different than PATRIOT deployments. Specifically 14S deploy to iraq/Afghan.<br />This an exciting time to be in the branch with multiple opportunities......I suggest using your gi bill and commisioning if you really want to get back in.

Marines aside (as we will make you re-do Boot Camp and drop down to E3) SWCC in the Navy is growing, their EOD guys are hardcore, SEALS...write good books.

That&#39;s the mos that&#39;s more physical. You never are behind a desk, it&#39;s considered a combat arms mos. You will be in the MP working and training all the time.

The short range air defense field (SHORAD) is booming! We are currently standing up 10 active duty battalions throughout the world and one in Germany just went active. The difference between a 14S and a 14P is really no different A 14 P has been Trained at the school house or deployed on the C-RAM and when the guard catches up all 14S will be 14P. promotions at all levels are very easy right now as long as you are a decent soldier/leader in there were literally hundreds of slots to be filled in the AD alone. The patriot field is beginning to come pack but not as much as SHORAD from the Monthly briefings that we have been getting for the last six months. If you don’t believe what I’m say saying, open up clearance jobs or LinkedIn and look for the instructor positions that are available right now. as I said before by the end of this fiscal year call 14S Will be 14P. If you are already an S all you need to do is a three week course and you will be fully MOSQed or if you have deployed of the C-RAM already you will not have to take the course. We are new longer avenger/Stinger crew members we are AMD Erin missile defense crewmembers are at the field is getting very exciting. I could promise you this unless you are a PSG there is there way you will be stuck behind a desk working on three weapons systems. And you do three years that I have bid here at the school house I have never seen as many students as we have now. ADA is far from a dying branch it may have been over the last eight years during the last administration but, I promise you The 14S/P field is far far from dying companies like Raytheon are getting several contracts to rebuild the branch and retirees are at the forefront of this task we are putting together several bit teams in order to accomplish the mission of rebuilding this branch to all of its glory and more! There are even three prototype avengers and they are modernizing The weapon systems as we speak and will be going out like in 2021If not sooner. If you have any questions feel free to hit me up anytime about the global I have a contractor account at a military account which I monitor daily.
