MOS 12W: Carpentry and Masonry Specialist.
Рет қаралды 83,659
Күн бұрынCreating and maintaining concrete and wooden structures, in support of Army operations, is the primary responsibility of the Carpentry and Masonry Specialist. Do you like to work with your hands? Are you interested in construction techniques and building things?

@@godsway8501 yes but not while your in the army. most of the people that work in carpentry and masonry outside of the army still don't make over 6. most of them don't even make six figures. the only time you MAY make over six figures in these trades is owning your own company' and even still majority of those company owners don't make that much.

@@juliantorres5138 update: the MOS is great and I'm about half way through the training. I have the highest GPA in my class at a 98.30% so it's not that difficult with minor studying. There is more math than most would expect though, even outside of obvious measurements so be prepared for that. There is a significant waiting line though which is the worst part. I was stuck here in Gulfport Mississippi for 5 weeks before my classes started which threw off my personal and professional life off by a bit

To be honest if your someone who would never see themselves doing construction in their life do this. It gets you skills that are hard to come by and your serving your country doing super hooah hooah stuff. I’ve been in 6 years now about to deploy and so glad I did this mos. I learned valuable skills and I wanna go back to AIT to learn more. It’s awesome and I love this field hands down.

This is a great MOS if you would like to pay for college and earn a degree in construction management or civil engineering since hands on the ground experience is invaluable. Another great route would be to enlist in this MOS and then the go into ROTC after your enlistment is up and major in construction management or civil engineering and try to branch 12A. A project manager I work with did this while earning a construction management degree and is highly respected in his field.
