Back on Okinawa (64) my MOS was 11H2P. However, when we deployed to Nam in 65 I could hardly hump the 106 so it was changed to 11B? It was changed back to 11H when I deros back to the states.

Ben, I understood that part of it. But when I first went in TOW anti-armor infantry were 11B with a skill identifier of H. I assumed that when they rolled 11H back into 11B they gave the TOW soldiers a new skill identifier. I was wondering what it was. Reading the link you left did not answer my question.
P38, as I understand it the Army did away with the 11H MOS around 1974 and instead gave 106 and TOW crews the skill identifier of H.

That must have been just after the MOS format change. Because prior to '64 the MOS for Infantry was 111 and an Infantry parachute qualified NCO would have been something like 111.67. The number 6 being the skill level code for NCO squad leader and 7 being the skill identifier for parachutist.

You know Delta I almost remember having the 111 MOS when I first went in in 63. That's been a long time ago and my memory isn't clear along those lines now. I can still remember those grilled cheese sandwiches and a cold glass of milk and the Temptation's singing "My Girl" though!

Anti-armor Leaders Course: 3 weeks, TDY and return, E5 – E8, graduates will be awarded ASI B8. Optimum course load is 18, with 15 classes projected per year. (New course)
I should have pointed that out in my reply. It was buried in the message. I don't know if soldiers ranking Private-Specialist will recieve a skill identifier if their trained in anti-armor weapons and tactics.

Andy, you probably did. I think they made the switch to alpha-numeric MOS codes some time in 1964.
