The MOS identifiers I had have changed since my time in service. Should I use the identifiers from my time (91P Radiology Specialist/91B Combat Medic) or the new ones (68P Radiology Specialist/68W Healthcare Specialist) when discussing them or on my resume for example?

SPC Lea Hartmann use the titles on a resume or application unless you are applying for a military/VA position. Even then use the title, followed by the MOS. Very few HR people understand it and it won't make it through the screening process. If they are truly curious, they'll A. ask during and interview or B. Look at the DD214.

When discussing with other veterans, I'd just saw I was a 91P Radiology Specialist which is now a 68P.

I understand your interest in being accurate and honest.

Title. Forget the MOS number.
I used the schools catalog course descriptions and the duties and descriptions in the regulation covering MOSs to help write my resume without having to reinvent the wheel, in addition to NCOERs (on phone and cant get the numbers to come up for me now).
