Well most MOS's are eligible, but why anyone would want to be anything other than an 11-Bravo is beyond me!...

Z28, I moved your question here to the recruiting forum.

All MOS's are eligible. Keep in mind that the 82ND Airborne Division has more then just combat arms MOS's, they have all the support personel to go along with it so they are on jump status.

But I agree with reddevil because hey face it there are actually only two MOS's in the army, 11B and support.

if you want to work on helicopters AND JUMP.
you do NOT want to be an apache guy. they do NOT SERVE IN JUMP STATUS UNITS.

sure, there are some at bragg, but they are not jumping.

some MOS'S in aviation pretty much INCREASING the chance you will get into the 82d:
67T BLACKHAWKS
67S OH-58D (with airborne will 100%gaurantee the 82d)
68J ARMAMENT
MOST OF THE OTHER 68 SERIES MOS
93P AVIATION OPS (stopped by 82d AVN BDE the oter day and they are hurting for these guys)
93C AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL (not in 82d, but ARE on jump status at bragg and do get PATHFINDER school)

some of the MOS are also able to serve in a certain SOF unit. but that's all i will say about that.


now, make sure you use the new designation when asking for these jobs.

the new CMF for aviation is 15X. welcome to the combat arms family AVIATION!!!!!!!
