Not sure if it’s 21E or 62E but I know the title is correct.

Any Engineer Company or Battalion, with the MOS.
If you gave where you want to go the folks on this forum may be able to better assist you.

Anywhere. great job once you get out. I was a engineer repair parts specialist when I first went into the army. I can drive a rough terrain fork lift with a M16 on my side. Still can do it. I am fit

62e are heavy equipment, or were when I was in. I was assigned to both heavy, and light engineer battalions during my service. Was even assigned to the 9th ID for a time. We were supposed to dig tank defolades for them, but I think the higher ups figured out a 13 mph couldn’t keep up with a 60+mph tank, lol. Over all, there are limitless assignments for an equipment operator, and the skill definitely transfers to civilian life.

I went in as a 62e in 78 and was sent to fort Lenard Wood, MO did basic and AIT. Then I went to fort Stewart, GA for a couple years and the to Hanau, Germany till I rolled a D-7 Cat down a hill a broke my back. Ended my military career but they made me 100% disabled at 25 years old. Good luck, I really wanted to retire but it wasn't in the cards.
