From your perspective, what do you think is the "worst" MOS?

There are not too many cushy jobs in the military, but I think some people chose worse jobs than others. It’s subjective, I get it. But for me, when I saw the day-in, day-out work of cooks and mechanics (wheeled & track), I thought those may be some of the most miserable jobs in the Army. And in the field...wow, those jobs look even worse! Its the optics; maybe they aren't bad jobs at all, I don't know, but it sure seems like theirs are tasks I wouldn't prefer. So I give some serious respect to you guys and gals who do such unpleasant, unglamorous, yet necessary jobs. Y'all earn it! So what does RP think? What job makes you think “thank God it aint me”?

Anything that causes you to come home smelling of fuel, oil, lubricant.
The infantry is just communing with nature and occasionally, wreaking havoc. I loved the infantry.

MJ John Bell- Sometimes I remember certain instances,like sitting on my almost empty rucksack (no resupply chopper ,weather) slowly sinking into the surrounding mud of my fighting hole,poncho useless,covered in mosquito bites,jungle rot and maybe a stray leech or two and wondering how this would be remembered if I ever got out of this place,realize now a defining part of my life,guess all grunts are a little crazy.

Well Maj John Bell, as a reformed 11B & 88M, I'd say there's lots of funny smells and communing to be had in either job! LOL!!

I was a cook at first, it's a terrible job. But, as a Career Counselor, the people I see who hate their jobs the most are the ones who don't ever do their job. Mostly 92W, 92S, and 74D. They always get stuck in the S3 shop doing DTS or schools
