View Full Version : MOS Help
How are you all doing? I first should introduce myself, my name is Kyle and I live in Green Bay, WI and I am in DEP with a ship date of 20071206. This site looks like a great place for me and people seem like they know what they are talking about unlike some other places. I have a question about my MOS field 73XX NAVIGATION OFFICER/ENLISTED FLIGHT CREWS. I would like to get 7381 Airborne Radio Operator/Inflight Refueling Observer/ Loadmaster. I've been searching around and can't seem to find much on what it takes to be a loadmaster and what they do and how training is. If anyone can help that would be appreciated.
Thanks
Kyle
Sorry I screwed up my ship date, 20070612 is right. I need to pay attention.

We have a member Jimmyk who is currently at MCRD San Diego and set to graduate on September 1st. He is a 73XX and should be able to give you some good scoop when he returns. His nik is Wing Nut lol.
