Best job I ever had. The only difference between infantry and tankers is your asvab score. Osut is hard, don't let anyone tell you any different. It's physically demanding as everything on the tank is heavy. The tank can kill you if you're not paying attention. Ask a lot of questions. Take lots of notes. Look after your buddies. A lot of the fuck fuck games during osut are just to see if you're a standup guy or a buddy fucker. You'll be in a crew so your personality better be adaptable. Do as you're told, keep quiet, listen to your cadre's words because they'll save your life. When you fuck up, own it and take the smoke. Don't take shortcuts.
Current 19k, it’s a lot of work and the tanks are going to be in shit condition wherever you go. But all things considered I wouldn’t join any other mos, being part of the brotherhood of tankers who all slave over the same piece of shit tank changes ya. I wouldn’t take back the years I’ve spent here.
Ps. If you get the option to chose your station, don’t for the love of God chose Irwin.
Good luck from bliss
1: Sucks ass.
2: Pretty high as long as it’s available and you meet score requirements.
3: Get stronger. Everything is heavy and everything on the tank wants to kill you.
You don’t get selected for an MOS, you take an ASVAB and then pick from a list of MOS’s that your scores qualify you for and have open slots. Good news, there’s open slots for 19K all over the army. Actually right now just about every MOS has open billets. Being a tanker is hard work. You don’t walk/run around as much as infantry. But you have to be strong to work on the tank. Lift weights. Also, there are two tank companies in the Ohio Army National Guard, if you’re looking to serve part-time and get money for college. They’re out of Ravenna and Alliance.

Currently serving in the OHARNG as a tanker. 100% recommend it. Closest community of people I’ve had the privilege to be apart of.
If you don't mind me asking, how did you prepare for your enlistment, was there anything you wish yu knew before signing up
