Military Experiences

Dec 1987 - Jul 1989
10th MTN
Ambulance Driver
With medical training now one of the highest priorities, medics were trained with infantry soldiers, learning how to best use the lay of the land for their protection and that of the wounded soldier. The titles of First-Aid Man, Hospital Orderly, Litter Bearer or Ambulance Driver became part of the Classification of Military Occupational Specialty, or MOS 657. Based on ability, education, training, intelligence, aptitude, occupational history, military experience and other demonstrated qualifications, the MOS number was awarded to the medical student. That information was carefully recorded so that each individual’s skills would be evaluated and assigned accordingly to the duties of most value to the armed forces. When I was in, it was 91A10
