89d
- 89d is 10 weeks in Ft Lee, 29+3days in Eglin AFB. It requires a high GT score because it is the hardest mentally speaking Mos in the army. less then 20% make it through training. All the other 89series are nothing close to 89d so dont relate the two, they are bullet counters to us. StateSide you do what is called VIPs. you clear places VIPs "President, Foreign Diplomats, such and such" are at/traveling to. 89d is by far one of the best mos in the army. tight nit groups, everyone respects you, fastest promotion table "E-7 by 7", High paying civilian jobs afterwards. Just study hard and dont get distracted and you can make it through the training. Dont fail out or they reclass you to whatever the army needs, Bullet Counters, Horizontal engineering "construction worker" and other jobs. Good Luck

Old school 55B
- So I was ammo before all the change over to 89, but it was still Redstone back then. Now it's all at Lee, blah. Redstone Arsenal was the bomb! haha As for Mr. Eod at the top up there, I'm glad you enjoy the M3 suit and IED's... haha peace.

89d
- 89d is THE only non shitty ammo field. It's not for everyone, and it's one of the hardest schools in the military but it's 100% the best job in the military.

89b
- i was an 89b for six years, thru deployments and i loved it. there is a good labor/paperwork balance so i wasnt sitting on my ass all day, but not lifting ammo boxes all day either. a forklift, gerber, and paint markers will be ur best friends with this job. the only bad thing about this mos, and its a huge thing unfortunately, is that it practically doesnt exist stateside. all the ammo work is done by civilians for the most part.

89D
- The training at Redstone is being shifted to Ft. Lee, Phase II training is still at Eglin AFB. Love this job though, I wouldn't change my decision for anything.
- —Guest PFC Anderson
89B or 55
- Ammo is not a bad field to get into, I made E-5 in 18 months. I did what I was told to do, in a quick military manner. The only bad thing about this MOS is there are not many civilan jobs that counter
- —Guest step
Really?
- From all these responses, I'm not liking the fact that i'm getting ready to be an ammo specilist....
- —Guest Lowe
