Hmm
- I joined in Aug of 06 as a 94F. My MOS training was done at Ft. Gordon, Ga and was 27 weeks total. 8 weeks spent in B.E.T - Basic electronics training and the other 19 hands on in class discussions with Army SSGs no civilians. A total of 900 hours. We were the only Ordnance Battalion on Ft. Gordon - a fork off Red Stone.

This MOS was 27B
- I was in the Army from 1983-1987. I am a Land Combat Support System Technician. The MOS was 27B. We repaired Tow, Dragon & Lance missle guidance systems. In the day we had a tape drive but when i was getting out of the Army in 1987 the tape drive was being replaced with a micro tape drive or so we were told.

Training time
- You currently spend 51 weeks and 1 day AIT at the Redstone Arsenal. My MOS is (4S1 Patriot System Repairer. I'm working this job and this is how long I will be spending in AIT after basic training which is 9 weeks long standard pending on your hometown location.

94M/35M
- Mike has it right when it comes to course length. Basic electronics @ Redstone for 9 weeks and actual system training for 44 @ Sill.

35 E
- I loved it, The times I deployed I was fixing everything that had a capacitor or resistor. From UAVs to warlocks, Ices, power supplies, laptops, the oldest to the newest radios in 2006, a bunch of other stuff; even the air force aka air scouts had us fixing their very cool crap. I learn more in the field than I could have ever learned in a class. Well, I did do 2+ years out there.

94M AIT Length
- Goarmy.com reports 45 weeks of AIT at redstone. That is considerably longer than 11 weeks. It has both the highest asvab requirements (110 EL)and the longest course length of any entry level ordinance MOS. Im sure part of it is actually at Gordon, and both goarmy and about are slightly skewed. Neither one seems to have any sort of current information, other than the field numbering.

- The 94M school is actually 2 months at Redstone and close to 6 months at Ft Sill.

- My appologies, I thought there was a different thread for each MOS. Appearently, it is one thread for the CMF. This one is in response to the 94S, Patriot Systems Maintainer repairer MOS. They are shortchanging the training time again. The follow on school is not showing up. The total time that a soldier will spend in school for this MOS is about 48 weeks. Just like calibration, the school is split up. Part of it was at Redstone, the rest was at Ft. Bliss. I think the location has changed now.

- The MOS was listed as 35H Test Measurment and Diagnostic Equiptment Maintainer / Repairer. The MOS fell under Ordinance at the time. AIT was at Lowery AFB at the time. Lowery closed in the early 90's and the course moved to Redstone. It was approximatly (forgive my memory) 48-52 weeks long. I know a lot of NCO's took the early retirment durring the draw down in the mid 90's. Some of them found pretty good jobs. It is a good MOS, I would recommend however, that new soldiers get some training in the computer world before they get out. I think they would have a good foundation to find a good job if they had both skill sets.

been there
- Way back when I was in we were 26DB4. Ground control approach radar repair/ atc systems/subsystems repair. It was a great job and almost everyone I served with either retired from the army or went to the FAA

You've got it wrong.
- This article pertains to 94E not 94M. 94E also use to be 35E before the MI Corp took the series up. Training time is still roughly 24 weeks
- —Guest Dylan
94M when it was 35M
- When I was a 35M less than ten years ago, the training was 53 weeks. The first 9 were at Redstone Arsenal, AL. The remaining 44 were at Ft. Sill, OK. The recruiters neglected to mention the second (longer) part of the training. If the job is still the same, then it appears they're neglecting to tell the full length again.
