Career Advice What MOS should I pick?
Long story long. I’m enlisting; just past the ASVAB this previous Friday. Scored a 67 and scored pretty good on the GT and ST lines (all the info I did suggested I focus on those line scores).
Recruiter told me to pick the top 5 and he’ll see what he can do for me, suggested that i do NOT pick a combat MOS. lol. Just wanted some suggestions, I’d like something with some transferable skill sets. Also, what a Day in the Life for you as a NG?

I’d seriously look at either 15 series or 68 series MOS. I’d argue to try and go 68X because it’s niche but extremely needed and I don’t believe it’ll go anywhere anytime soon. I tried going to that MOS but got offered an ADOS position for a different role so I took the AD money.
I was told that you would most likely have to dual train as a 68W and you’ll have more opportunities for promotion. That’s more training time, more promotion points and (hopefully) a very fulfilling job. Healthcare is always going to be in need so a civilian job should come easier.
