14s

i'm a female 14s and i actually enjoy my job even though i had to deal with people doubting that i was capable.

14e

this job is pretty stupid te be honest, most of the leadership would rather be somewhere else, the schooling is mundane and doesnt teach you your job and its highly disorganized because anyone who makes it to e-5 bails out to another branch because of all the aforementioned problems

we also

we also operate the electric power plant and do system evals on the whole battery

14-T Patriot life

I'm in possibly one of the most disorganized and unmotivating units ever. I've never met such a group of immature and unprofessional people in my life. This job would not be so bad if the command e-9 and above didn't have their heads up their behinds. I'm on my second deployment and i've yet to do my job. Highly Favors females regardless of their work perfomance. No one is professional or can conduct themselves. I currently monitor my soldiers to make sure they bathe... How pathetic is that? Please delete this MOS!!! Or atleast the people...

14J

This is a great army job I have been doing it for 3 years and am currently doing all sorts of secret work for the goverment, there are great deployments and if you are intellegent enough to get in and do well lots of six figure jobs out there begging for you. As an army MOS it is great with lots of room for getting rank, though the AIT is tough unless you are transitioning.

As a 14J

As a 14J that has been doing this job for over 3 years i can say that this has got to be some of the most retarded stuff ive ever done if you talk to anyone from another section of the army theyll look at you crazy because the things we do here dont happen in the real army

I don't believe this.

I was a 14R from 2003 until 2005 when they deleted our MOS. I had the pleasure of serving with some of the finist soldiers in the world. After that me and my brothers were scattered to the wind an left as E-4 promotables for 3 years until we were involuntaraly reclassed to 14J's E's or T's. The Bradley Linebacker has nothing to do with patriot it is the bradley fighting vehicle fitted with a pod that contains 4 short range, surface to air, stinger missiles. The army ruined hundreds of soldiers careers when the abrubtly decided to delete this MOS. I was deployed in Iraq at the time and when we got back it was like "oh by the way we deleted your job and you cannot get promoted. I would like to know your sorces because I just cannot believe this.
