All these crybabies on here hating on 88m are probably the ones who couldn't stand still in formation, and got their feeling hurt when PG shut them down. The experience is great. Plus once you get your cdl, you can get WORK ANYWHERE IN THE U.S.! This MOS gets you ready for a field with great pay.
Exactly. The civilian Motor Vehicles Operator DoD is paying 30 plus in Dc, MD, Va. that’s great pay with low stress. What’s to not like about that? Nothing.
I’m 21 and don’t have much going for myself, my family all has successful careers while I’m the pot head jumping job to job, I think I’m going to turn a new stone and apply for army truck driver
If things hit the fan, I may join up again. I was a 13B but have been out for over a decade and am currently a truck driver. Sure, I would take a massive paycut but if it hits the fan, I may be needed. My main regret was not being an 88M when I was in.
@@travisallison2 I'm 18 looking to join up soon after high school. I've been looking at 88m but my uncle told me 13b curious what u get to do as a 13b. Do you recommend it?
@@theof303 cannon crewmember . You will be a driver or the number 1 man who slings rounds down range . It's a lot of heavy lifting. Each artillery round is 100 . You learn how to target manually if anything breaks down . It's a hard job but a fun one indeed
same. was an 11bravo and have been out for 9 years. thinking about rejoining as an 88m reservist. hopefully my lower back can take going back through basic again. currently a class B bus driver.
They always need drivers. It's a great MOS. Just do well on your ASVAB exam and get in shape physically before basic. Also try to get a good duty location in your contract.
Tried to get 35N and had a very good asvab score of 76. I failed because I am extremely color blind I am glad this was my second option that was available looking forward to it
I’m considering this job but I’m seeing some negatives about it, anybody know what’s another pretty fun mos or something that’ll be beneficial in the long run?
I make close to 100k a year driving truck from skills I learned as a 88M. Fun? Lot's of hard work, long days and nights, some long deployments. Did I also have fun? You bet! That can be said for any MOS.
I already have a CDL but im thinking about joining the army for the adventure and benefits. Would having a the experience on the outside help fast track me in this mos?
Don't do it. Study for your asvab and get yourself a good MOS that will be useful to you when you get out. I've been an 88M for over 10 years. Soldiers quickly burn out in this MOS. There's not much to it. Lots of long days doing PMCS, dispatching trucks and whatever bullshit they can think of in the motorpool. Yes it will get you experience as a truck driver if that is important to you but you will not leave the service with a CDL unless you take a civilian course. Most states will still make you take the DOT test for your CDL so it's not like you can just walk right on the job. Bottom line, study and get yourself a good MOS that will set you up for success when you get out. Use this as a last resort if you don't qualify for anything else. Everyone I know in this job is considering what their next MOS will be when they are able to reclass.
@@erictheintern9562 don’t listen to what other people think. It may not be good for them but it’s probably something that you’ll enjoy. Listen to you and you only. Don’t let other people discourage you from what you want to do
This is not true i graduated Ait and walked straight into the dmv and got my CDL for $50 no written or road test from the Army stop misleading people just because you didn’t have a good experience in your career the army is what you make of it
I left active duty at Ft. Carson as a 88M, had the skills portion waived, and was working for a grocery distribution company even before my terminal leave was up making twice what I did in the service.
88M is a combat MOS & can be dangerous during war time. Very hard work & long hours. It's not for everyone so choose wisely. 92M would be my choice if I could turn back the clock. My MOS was 12B. 🤮
@@TetraSamurai I went in at 21 & got out at 25 & I was fortunate to be a chaplain's driver for about a year and I was also a first Sergeant's driver and a Joe a 5-ton truck but it is a very very hard-working MOS and you will spend a lot of time in the field and when you're in Garrison is just a lot of BS work. I would recommend anyone going into the military to get into a non-combat MOS and don't choose cook because I did a lot of KP and those cooks ours are very long just like a combat engineers hours are in the field and sometimes in Garrison. 🤮
@@champking20 says the triggered white knight who likely believes women can be just as physically efficient in battle as men. While ignoring that when given the same physical standards they wouldn’t even have a job. When we sending 12 year old boys to war next? That’s what looks like is driving those trucks, little boys that haven’t hit puberty yet.
@@champking20 they should start with combat sports first instead of war, and before the first round begins they can tell them “with adrenaline anything can happen” see how much of a difference it makes when you have an elite 145lb professional mma fighter(male) versus an “elite” 145 lbs woman. My point will be proven rather quickly. We want efficient Warriors when lives are at risk not “we can do it too’s”

Do it man, I’m 20 and figured I better start doing something with myself.
Just don’t tell them you’ve smoked pot before or they won’t take you.
You got to quit the drugs though. Make sure you are squeaky clean when you take your physical exam at the MEPS because they will drug test you there.
DID YOU DO IT
Remember "I've never smoked marijuana"
Smoked pot , was honest with my recruiter and he just told me to come back when I was cleaned. Doing national guard though
I was a 88M at Ft Leonard wood Mo from 1987 to 1990. Technology has changed so much since I served.

I went to MEPS in Montgomery. Signed my contract and swore-in . I ship out the 24th of this month to FT. Leonard Wood, Missouri. So excited!

Keep your head up, and pay attention and everything will be smooth 😁
Hey me too!
Don’t know you but wish the best to both of us!
Where did you find yourself getting stationed? Are you enjoying things?
I was stationed at Fort Sill as a 13B.
how many years for 88m ?
The MOS promo material has gotten so much better in recent years! Hooah 🇺🇸
I agree . I am sure previous promos were made to make people go open Contract.
@@harshbansal7982 Gladly that doesn't exist in the Army now,.
I did the same job in the Royal Air Force (UK) for 24 yrs, best times of my life.
I enlisted as an 88M and I honestly love my job every single day.
Is it a good job I leave the 9th an just enlisted for 88m
What are the hours like ?
Was recently recommended this MOS and it's definitely looking like it's up my alley
Did my 88M training at Fort Bliss back in 2007 fun times
Out front, supporting the rest!
