Would I do a lot of computer and network repair as a 25B?

SSgt Christophe Murphy in the Army our IT department is mostly civilians. The NEC has managed to take over most of the permissions at most levels. So, it's not a weak IT department, the S6 offices across most of the Army simply don't have permission to do much more than submit help desk tickets.

Over the years the NEC has managed to pull total administration of the network up to their level. It's annoying because simple fixes to get a program running, like unblocking a port, or moving a system file, now take days and a trouble ticket to fix.

SSG Keller is incorrect, 25Bs don't usually work at the company level, they're at the BN S6. While they will fill the radios required in setting up the TOC or command post, the drivers and lower enlisted assigned to the S3 usually fill the radios for the vehicles.

SSgt Christophe Murphy - "if they assigned in their MOS but working outside of their MOS it does them a disservice"
Perhaps from a mid grade enlisted point of view I can see that as a "single position" to think from.

I can say for sure its not...Yes sometimes a servicemember is improperly tasked outside their MOS by a CDR (or though Senior enlisted guidance). However its mostly about putting a willing and able, capable SM in a needed position. Sometimes the CDR's hand is forced in that they have only one MOS X1 slot but three assigned, not on orders and no response from DIV G1 or HRC as to when if ever they might be transferred and NO MOS Q1 a related field, 4 open slots and inbound on the books....so off 1 or 2 MOS X1's go to fill in. The commander has the whole current mission to consider, not how it might effect SGT M's job opportunities when he gets out.

And lastly sometimes tasking a SM outside their MOS is a need of a different type, in that they are so bad at their job, its actually better for the unit, the mission and the others in that commodity shop to have that MOS X1 SM tasked as the Housing SGM's assistant where he can continue to set low goals, occasionally meet them when he has good supervision, and hardly ever creates a situation that cause the mission to almost fail.

SFC (Join to see) as someone who worked in IT in DOD in uniform, as a contractor and as a GS I can say with confidence that reimaging is commonly used as a crutch to avoid in-depth troubleshooting. It’s a commonly used crutch and I stand by my earlier statement. I understand the situation too on though and NMCI creates a similar environment for Navy and Marine Corps installations that use it but there still should be troubleshooting before imaging is used. That’s my point. There is still work to be done before imaging is chosen

SGM Erik Marquez I agree but it depends on the context.
Crossing training and having collateral duties outside of your MOS is one thing. But if someone is serving a role as an IT specialist, their fitness report say they serve that role, and they are rated at that role but they rarely or never perform the duty I would refer back to my earlier statements. Jack of all trades is a thing and certainly has its place but folks just working out of their MOS due to mismanagement or lack of manpower is something else and shouldn’t be accepted just because it is what it is.

Thank you for the input SSG. I still considering 25B and a few other MOS's to reclass too but like more computer experience with hardware and networking.
