Calling All Tracks Marines
'Evening everyone! It's been quite a while since I posted here. It's almost that time for me to make that big decision whether or not to lat move. I've been interested in the AAV field lately, but I don't know much about the MOS. Our career jammer out here doesn't really know much about it either. I know experiences may vary, but I just want some insight on the MOS itself. Some questions that may arise are like what a usual day consists of, the deployability of the unit, field ops (if there are any (I'm a winger)), and the difficulty of the job. I understand there are crewman and mechanics. I'd guess that being a mechanic on one of those beasts is like working on an oversized diesel engine and extra doodads. Crewmen probably have to have some sort of mechanical understanding of the gear/equipment anyhow, right? Another concern about lat moving is the inability to do a B-billet. That question has been answered for me, but it's a pain in the rear having to choose a new MOS or Drill Instructor Duty. That's where I'm really in a rut. My main focus for this post though is clarity on the AAV MOS field. I hope to see some great advice or stories from those salty dogs that have "been there-done that."
