sgmdae Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Stretch Good comment... MOS...Military Occupational Speciality, an Army Term I would only use the MOS term if it was a claimed Army Vet They usually claim three things Special Forces, Seal, Force Recon, and most cases they claim they hit the Sergeant or Officer if they got out early They come up with some great stories, combination of thing they heard, movies they watch, and their owm imagination 100% PTSD 20% right ankle 20% left ankle 10% Right Knee 20% Right Shoulder 10% Tinnitus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder Commander Bob Posted August 7, 2009 Author HadIt.com Elder Share Posted August 7, 2009 (edited) The Military Occupational Speciality ( MOS )is used in the Army and the Marines. The Air Force uses the AFSC ( Air Force Specialty Code ) As Stretch posted, the Navy is different, in that a system of navel ratings and designators are used along with the Navy Enlisted Classification ( NEC ). DMOS is an abbreviation for Duty Military Occupational Speciality, not to be confused with a MOS. Back to the Navy. Officers in the USN have a Designator. It is similar to a MOS but is less complicated and has fewer categories. So An officer with the Naval Aviator code might have an AQD of DV3, SH-60F Carrier. A Navy Seal would have a NEC of 5326 Combatant Swimmer (SEAL ), unless they were an officer then they would have a designator... See it's simple. On second thought, don't try this at home , kids, unless you understand how to catch a wannabe.

HadIt.com Elder LarryJ Posted August 7, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted August 7, 2009 Yes, the USMC had MOS's. Mine was 0621 (radio operator-field). They picked me for that because of my size (I could tote the damned radio AND the Lt., if necessary!). "It is cold and we have no blankets. The little children are freezing to death. My people, some of them, have run away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food; no one knows where they are-perhaps freezing to death. I want to have time to look for my children and see how many of them I can find. Maybe I shall find them among the dead. Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever." Chief Joseph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HadIt.com Elder jbasser Posted August 7, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted August 7, 2009 It implies you were a pathfinder. J A Veteran is a person who served this country. Treat them with respect. A Disabled Veteran is a person who served this country and bears the scars of that service regardless of when or where they served. Treat them with the upmost respect. I do. Rejection is not a sign of failure. Failure is not an option, Medical opinions and evidence wins claims. Trust in others is a virtue but you take the T out of Trust and you are left with Rust so be wise about who you are dealing with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
