original 63J

I am one of the original 63J series people. I went to aberdeen proveing grounds for my AIT Bravo bulldogs all the way. But anyways I got out of the service after 3 years and have made a good liveing from my training as a 63j chemical quatermaster. I work for my city as a matinace mechanic for their generators and large water pumps and do rutine matinace on their vehicles like salt trucks and what not. So you can make a good liveing doing this job dont believe those haters!! :)

63BRAVO

I deployed twice as mechanic with HHSB 1/487th FIELD ARTILLERY AND 25TH AVIATION BRIGADE 209TH AVIATION SUPPORT BN; Being a mechanic isn't a joke at all and it's fun, good experience. PRIDE is all you need.

—Guest Wmc

91F

This MOS is a very good MOS, and it it very easy. The only thing that may not be easy is having an A$$hole as a supervisor. With these kind of people just be political!

Im training at ft lee va and its hard to concentrate when you are being punished for other people ruining the freedom. We are on lock down it was like this before I got here! It makes learning difficult! My training is only 13 weeks and 3 days!!! Hope it goes by fast because I.cant stand being treated like a child I would rather be in basic training
