I have done a search,and found lots of info on all of the other aviation jobs, but there isn't much info on 15J. I was curious about common first duty stations. I would like to be able to ride along every once in awhile, but I am not certain if you ever get to unless you are 15U of 15T. The recruiter is calling me as aviation jobs drop, this is the first so far. I am trying to pick an aviation MOS that has a lot of possible different bases, but do not want to miss out on a great opportunity! I know I am going to get bashed for this next statement, but I am looking for even the slightest chance of going to Hawaii, but have an open mind for the "needs of the army". Sorry this post is so long, and thank you all for your help!

You can go to Hawaii as a 15J they have 58s there we use 15Js in our squadron to do avionics and work on weapons.

If I'm not mistaken, you have the options of Hawaii, Lewis, Riley, Drum or Georgia. Promotion points are also extremely low for this MOS. I worked with a lot of the armament dogs in my last unit. They do a lot of work, but it is pretty challenging for the most part. You will also probably have a decent chance of going on a test flight here and there.

Thanks for the information. If I wanted to possibly work on helicopters after serving my time in the military,would it be better to go in as a repairer? Or would even the avionics/armament be suitable to do so as long as I get my A&P. A buddy of mine with a 4 year degree in Aerospace just signed 11X, and gave me the advice to stop worrying about "after" the military and worry about "enjoying" what I do while I am in. Again thank you for your time and posts. Smile

I definitely agree with your friend. When you get out of the military, the biggest thing that is going to show is that you spent so many years in the service, which means you are going to be dependable in whatever you do. There are so many cool jobs in the Army that you wouldn't normally think of doing as a civilian, and enjoying what you are doing now is much more important than what you might do later find something that you think you will enjoy, and try to talk to someone who is doing that job, don't just go by what the recruiting video shows.
