I've been out for 17.5 years,and I will be going to FT.Sill next week for WTC and then to Ft.Lee for AIT and I'm just wondering what I can look forward too in this MOS.
For example, What to expect to do while deployed?, What to expect in garrison,or during FTX?? If deployed,will I be as big a target for insurgents/IED's as my family thinks I will be?? How dangerous is this job??

Any help anyone can provide will be appreciated, Thanks in advance...Kirk

Anyone???

Beuller???

All depends on what type of unit you end up in. What you can count on is.....you'll be fueling something.

Well, the risk is great in all MOS but just because your a fueler doesnt mean you will be driving a fuel truck downrange. If you get into a Signal unit you will either be doing Logistic supply or working with the mechanics in the motor pool. If you go to an infantry unit your just as likely to be knocking down doors with the rest of the crew. Good Luck!

well my husband is a 92 f and he say his instructors said they hve contractors that fuel and yall will be pulling securityor doing an 88m job too cause u hve to go to ft leonardwood to learn to drive the tanker and hemtt

Are you Active Duty or Guard/Reserves?

Any updated info on MOS and AIT ? Heading to FT Lee 11/13 for school.

I'm at school now, just started class on Tuesday.
I can answer some ?'s on anyone coming here as PS 92F

Sgt Floyd,
I'm prior service and transfering from the reserves to active duty and thinking about 92F. What's it like at AIT and are you going to 88M training after 92F training?

You get treated pretty good at school as PS.
Chances are pretty good that we're heading to M7 school in MO. Last class, all active army went.

No, you don't go to 88M school after 92F AIT. And i'm not real sure what the hell M7 school is either.
ASI H7 school is Petroleum Heavy Vehicle Operators course and not all 92F's get to go to it.

My bad,thats a typo- I meant H7.
I didn't say everyone goes , I said out of the last class before mine , all active duty went. Thats what the instructors told us anyway.

If you get the chance to go to H7, DO IT! You'll have a good time and will learn alot.

absolutely, thanks for the info.

Prior service active duty 19k from '97-'01 here. Just signed up again for 6 more years active. E-4. I report to Ft. Lee for 92F ait 20080210. What can I expect day to day as far as living goes? I've read a hundred times that the prior services guys get treated well at ait....but what does that mean? 1-2 man rooms, 3? Open bays? How much "exposure" do we have to the IET soldiers at Ft. Lee? Specifics!

I am to prior service reclassing to 92F. I leave on 20080208. I was a 74D. I really don't know what to expect, especially as a female in this MOS. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Well, I've been here at Ft. Lee since the 1st of Feb. Soooo not what I expected! Was expecting a much tighter, more structured environment. There are NO drill seargents anywhere here. Not even for the basic training soldiers. As prior service you are treated as permenant party for the most part. Freedom to go where ever and do what ever ya want when you want to. You CAN have a vehicle here. In fact, it's a good idea to bring one. Battallion formations are a good 2+ miles from the barrracks. The building where you go to class is even further. When I arrived, the plt sgt asked if I had brought a pov, and when I said no, he said thaat I should have, it would make my life alot easier. Fortuneatley for me, almost everyone in my classs has a vehicle so getting a ride isn't a problem. Alot of the guys/girls have gone off post and purchased vehicles while here. If I didn't already have a $390 amonth payment on a vechicle 2500 miles away, I would have done the same.

You will have contact with the new soldiers from basic traaining. You'll go to class with them. Although you'll have alot more freedom- you can get up to go to the bathroom without asking permission and without a battle buddy. They have to do both. You can go outside and smoke during breaks, they cannot leave the building except for chow.

If you're prior army, and have a patch for your acu's and a crest for your berret, wear them. It'll help seperate you from the iet soldiers and make life alittle easier. Laptops and cell phones aren't a problem. I bought this laptop from Dell while here and had it shipped to the barracks. No internet access in house though, I had to buy one of the cellular air cards for that. The barracks are not so nice. I got lucky and got a room with it's own bathroom. Most of the rooms have at most 4 soldiers. Thats rare though, most just 3. 1 wall locker per soldier. Common latrines...most of them are just nasty. It's a shame that grown men can't keep themselves and thier living areas clean.

I'd be happy to answer any more specific questions. Email me- Prior19k@gamil.com or Yahoo "Jethro19k".

Prior service @ Fort Lee get treated like Gods. Not sure if all go there, but the PS that were in my class were from India Company. They had their own vehicles, left alone after class, weekends off with no report times, etc.

We basic training/split-op kids weren't allowed to talk to them, or hang out. Except if we saw them @ the mall on the weekends or something. Oh, I'm a 92A and was at Mike Company, graduated last September.

Alpha gators oh ya oh ya, mikeys a bunch of haters hooahh lol
