[robertmwenzel1]

To all of you signing up for this MOS there is ONLY one true sentance in this entire Video.."you may work long hours in the feild" Civilains do our job now we do not have rights to change or add/remove anything anymore..even down range. all you can do is add printers or change log on passwords..sorry to break it to you but i have been in over four years and we dont have much use anymore. we basically become the "go to" guys for detials and clean up work

[dmorris41]

@robertmwenzel1 Damn, that sucks. What do you do on a typical day, where do you work?

[LayZ23]

@robertmwenzel1 Its been like that for years. I was in when this MOS was 74B. I will admit though its a good start in IT. I do pretty damn well in the private sector because of my experience in the Army.

[libaan91]

well this is my mos i leave in 2 months LETS GOOOO

[EmbraceMyPanda]

Lol.... Those Uniforms have been long retired.

[WirelessVault]

I'm 25yrs old and planning in enlisting for this MOS and probably get airborne too. I wonder if the army have an updated video for this MOS. Also, you guys that already have ship dates... Did it take a while before 25B was open to take? How long is the ship date from the time you guys swore in at meps???

[Jujohnson18]

[randallallan88]

those computers make me laugh.

[Nastikk666]

@Wolfshadow011: same for me, I leave 20120508 ft benning for basic then to ft gordon for ait then back to ft benning for airborne.

[BigDevin24]

@xGaucher job stability is a good feeling.

[bk5223]

Leaving for Fort Benning 20120430

[nupe1105]

[BigDevin24]

@NayOhMeh that's awesome enjoy!

[BigDevin24]

@wolfshadow011 when do you leave for basic?

[Wolfshadow011]

@BigDevin24 I leave 20120625 to Fort Benn, then go to fort Gordon, then back to Fort Benn for my Airborne.

[BigDevin24]

@dmorris41 when do you go to basic and where

[dmorris41]

@BigDevin24 Leaving may 14 for Fort Benning

[BigDevin24]

@dmorris41 yeah that exactly what I got but if continue reading after that your on reserve for the remainder untill 8 years is complete.

[BigDevin24]

@bk5223 it's a just about close to a 6 year. Plus you have 2 years left as a reserve. Totaling 8 years.

[dmorris41]

@BigDevin24 I just got 25B yesterday, 5year 33weeks training... longer than I thought, but I guess the army has to get its money out of you

[BigDevin24]

@xXthescarykidXx I apologize. I was running on no sleep when I commented I keep thinking about ranger school -_- this is the second video I did this on lol I wonder if there are others. Haha

[korn4422]

This job does offer an airborne option. I know because ive seen it on meps job list when choosing jobs

[bk5223]

Just picked 25b going to MEPS Wednesday for physical and swearing in.

[NIGHTMAREuki]

@bk5223 congrats, was it hard to get?

[bk5223]

@NIGHTMAREuki

Wasnt one of my choices but it came up on the computer today so I picked it. Its a 5 year contract.

[BigDevin24]

I swear... How do you know your going airborne when first of all you have to complete all training. Secondly you have to apply and accepted into airborne school. When you sign your contract I'm 100% sure it doesn't give you an airborne option as an 25B. I know because I've already done all that. Idiots.

[xXthescarykidXx]

@BigDevin24

Back in 04 they offered me Airborne as a 25B, which I turned down, but once I got to AIT I changed my mind and got my jump physical. It was easy. They don't always offer. It depends on the Army's needs.

[NayOhMeh]

@BigDevin24 I was offered an airborne option, this July. I leave for basic on Feb. 27th

[Wolfshadow011]

@BigDevin24 I'm going 25B, and I have the Airborne option in my contract, i had to to be able to get my shipdate in the timeframe i wanted.

[ryanthasexybeast]

I am gonna be a 25b with airborne and i am going in as an E3

[XmojotronX]

WHY DID I GO TO THE MARINES!?

[motleyhar]

@XmojotronX You liked the uniform. Too bad you had to pay for it.

[XmojotronX]

@motleyhar actually i was man enough

[motleyhar]

@XmojotronX I don't even need to start on this. I have seen both sides of the house and if you think "man enough" means getting out as an E-3 after 4 years in the USMC then more power to you. Good job and good luck!

[kingking253]

This video is from The 90s look at the uniforms

[eyesack9]

@kingking253 if it aint broke why fix it eh?

[taguchi1]

Lol windows 95. No school like old school I guess

[dschlickone]

Information Technology Specialist Work on old ass computers and technology

did you see the stuff there working on LOLZ

[eyesack9]

Any 25 series is a good MOS choice

[heartboy86]

Bullshit,my cousin is a 25B and they don't work all night,after 2,there day is basically over and really don't do shit unless they have a mission,just like the rest of the 25 series

[eyesack9]

@heartboy86 you jelly?

[heartboy86]

@eyesack9 wtf??

[eyesack9]

@heartboy86 yeah you jelly

[heartboy86]

[wetmatches16]

going to ft. benning on nov 14th as a 25B. anybody else?

[XxPatriots12xX]

@wetmatches16 Nov 7 25B and AIRBORNE!!!!!!! :D

[camike62]

hey ive got a quick question im a future solider in the us army and i aready took my final oath. my mos is 25b but i heard you can volunteer. is that true? I was told that if i volunteer i go fight with a unit. i mean i love workin with computers but i dnt want to sit on my ass the whole time

[RailKing]

Never again in a trans unit...I do 92A/88M shit behind a desk...and I am a 25B. Back to signal company I go!!!!

[123nypd]

Guys I think You made the right choice in this MOS because I heard my friend who was 19 out of highschool from my school got his leg blown off he was in infantry. his commander was shot my a sniper and his friend in is convoy was killed; DONT DO INFANTRY!!!

[MrPelhambay]

@123nypd - infantry is all about getting shot at...

[123nypd]

@MrPelhambay I know man

[MrPelhambay]

@123nypd - which is why its so fucking fun XD

[aespinoza9559]

I want to be a computer geek, but I was a 25U for five years because they told me I would be working with computers and be a real computer geek. NOPE!!! I never touched a computer all five years. Mostly I was just a solider always on detail and my sergeant left for Korea so I belonged to the motor pool sergeant. So it was five years of zero computer geek experience. Point is, is 25B the same thing? Advertises computer geek but you never touch a computer? Now I cant find a job as an IT guy.

[FillterFour]

About all these 25-series jobs - If you choose one, have fun having all of your work, besides the dirty field work, contracted completely out to civilians. Soldiers are losing their jobs to government contractors. It's terrible. I've been there and seen it. Of course, every unit, duty station, and situation is different. If you want action, look into some other jobs and weigh out your options.

[rjones8035]

What ASVAB score do I need for this MOS?

[FillterFour]

@rjones8035 GT score of 110.

[wetmatches16]

25B that's me! I Leave for Ft. Benning on Nov 14th 2011

[rebourne783]

I'm definitely applying for MOS 25B Information Technology Specialist for U.S. Army Reserve! Got to study really hard on Math Knowledge, Word Knowledge & Comprehension, General Science, Arithmetic Reasoning, and Mechanical Comprehension! This will be pain in the ass...

[snyprwlf47]

How many times did they put that network adapter in?

[lord273kelvin]

wow...is army IT like 10+ years behind civilian IT or is this clip just outdated? seems like they are still using Windows 95/98 and CRT monitors.

[cod3423]

@lord273kelvin this clip is just really outdated.

[y7l]

I like US ARMY!

[mmdjnr]

Just enlisted in this mos. Does anyone know if spouses are allowed to accompany the soldier with this AIT? What's the limit for that?

[jlvega1231]

@mmdjnr If you are married and the training takes six months or more then yes you can bring your wife(or husband).I am gonna enlist so i asked all these questions already. Good luck on your asvab and on your future military career too.

[pathfindercrasher]

Automations(25B) Tac Comms(25C usually). On the enlisted side, over them is a 25U. Above that person is an officer 25A. 25B-computer tech/network admin 25C-Radios/mobile satellites 25U-Meant to do both. 25A-Unfortunately as a signal officer, "management" is mostly what he/she will do. How to get the best as 25B?? "LOCATION" I recommend asking for 112th Signal Bn on Fort Bragg, NC but it's ur choice.

[T16Akatsuki]

i am looking at joining the military for a scholarship for college. i plan to work with computers for an occupation (programming, maitenence, etc.) and my parents are weary about sending off their only child. would this mos be a good choice for experience and still be a safe way off of the main front?

[MRSPEACH87]

@ freakster wow whats hawaii like n thanks

[DudeSkates3419]

As a 25B. will I learn programming and programming languages? I plan on being a Programmer after my service so why not get a headstart here? Please help

[GeekBoy03]

@DudeSkates3419 Seems the video has been updated. It did used to say that. Anyway a "programmer" is passé. Businesses want problem solvers, not coding monkeys. Go get yourself a degree in computer science.

[BravoAirborne143rd]

Getting stationed depends where Uncle Sam puts you either in CONUS or over seas like Korea,Germany and Italy, it doesn't depend on your MOS, but where they want you

[SamHagagaga]

The recruiter for my school is a 25B.

[MRSPEACH87]

If any one has already graduated AIT can u tell me where u got stationed just curious I know thats not where I will end up but just want to get an idea if this is more of an over seas mos or here in the U.S thanks <3

[freakster180]

@MRSPEACH87 Hawaii, but as this mos, you can be stationed anywhere there is an s6 shop which is every Bn

[disavowed101]

25B is the worst MOS in the signal corps.... 25U for life...

[solarix]

@disavowed101 Why is it the worst? I am about to go with this MOS..

[disavowed101]

@solarix 25B's are primadonna's that are habitually lazy, and have a God complex.

[freakster180]

@disavowed101 I dont have a god complex, I just think I am smarter than most

[freakster180]

@disavowed101 25U is just a fancy name for RTO

[WiFiPunk]

HOOAH. Almost done with my AIT. 4 weeks left.

[nick13524]

what is the likelihood of 25B being an available MOS at MEPS?

[HensleyProductions]

@nick13524 I'm going to MEPS soon and I got this MOS. My recruiter said I was lucky because they rarely see this job open.

[nick13524]

@HensleyProductions oh well I guess I might just have to wait a while. Thanks for the info though

[ROTCairforcePFC]

@HensleyProductions really? before I went to MEPS I reserved a spot in this MOS and I got into MEPS November 2nd and I ship in February

[mekeino]

Army MOS 25B Information Technology Specialist how long will it take after signing up in this field, & completing the asvab test with success before basic training begins?

[HensleyProductions]

@mekeino If I pass MEPS in the next few days then I won't go to basic until August of 2011

[mekeino]

@HensleyProductions "August 2011" why so long, did you choose that time which state is that and which fort are they sending you to?

[systemaddictshock]

hey! it looks like they used old and newer videos in this clip. The folks in the BDUs have all the old ass hardware and CRT screens while folks in the ACUs are using laptops and flat panel screens LOL

[Sebas3440]

@systemaddictshock WITH A BLAZING 128MB OF RAM!

Lol.

[systemaddictshock]

@Sebas3440 and 33Mhz processor on a 386 motherboard LOL!!!

[systemaddictshock]

Man this stuff looks super easy. I have an AA in IT and networking and I will be finishing my BS in Business Management.

[Chipper99]

best mos if your going into the civilian world, I just got a $75,000 a year job as a help desk technician with only 25b training and no experience

[Chipper99]

I joined the reserves as a 25b and got a $75,000 job after AIT as a tier1 helpdesk technician.

thanks army

[systemaddictshock]

@Chipper99 Tier 1? what company?

[nextfazz]

@Chipper99 Good for you...About how long did it take you to find a job out of AIT? And my question is what type of company do you work for?

[12Oc7ock]

@nextfazz he's full of shit, no level 1 help desk job pays 75k

[nextfazz]

@12Oc7ock I kinda figured that one out...I was simply waiting for a response that I knew I would never get.Or a bold face lie.

[FillterFour]

@12Oc7ock Unless he went overseas. But, yes. I do agree with you, for anything stateside.

[NCMACT]

@12Oc7ock how does training in this field compare to the real world is it crappy?

[12Oc7ock]

@Chipper99 bullshit no level 1 help desk position pays fucking 75grand, you're out of your skull

[fox2102]

@Chipper99 Where the hell are you making $75,000 as a tier 1 helpdesk? The most i've been offered as a tier 1 helpdesk is about $42,000

[mylesid]

@Chipper99 Question- @Chipper99 I'm about to join the Army reserve and try to acquire 25B, what have been your experience? Please give me heads up if you don't mind?



[Fathercoffee]

SIGNAL CORPS!!! Copy that! Over! Break!

[Fischkid2]

and they hired me over people who had BS's in IT and some work experience so you are clearly ahead of the game coming out away with this MOS.

[kingheinz57]

looks like working at geek squad or comcast

[urignorant87]

hey look it windows 95

[freakster180]

this video is a joke

[cjhyde78]

TNOSC fixes Printers in Korea

[kyl64]

0:48

OMG! That's such an OLD SCHOOL COMPUTER LOL!

Does it really cost that much to re-shoot modern footage? lol

[Ozlanthos]

I'm preparing myself to join (I'm kind of old for it but what the hell, trying to re-invent yourself is hardly ever easy) and am seriously considering 25B as my MOS. I did alright on the sample ASVAB (well enough that they told me that I'd probably be able to get into whichever MOS I finally decided on). My issue here is deciding what to go for. My goal is to come out on the other side as a fully-capable IT guy w/ min 4 years hands-on exp. in IT. Is 25B the best way to get there?

-Oz

[Fischkid2]

@Ozlanthos 25B is more help desk related. look into 25N much more technical IMO and you will be tooled for work outside the army in network management. I have friends who were 25N and now are working for large private companies (one works for a hospital the other a law firm) heading the IT department making BIG bucks. I myself work for a law/econ consulting firm in the IT department where i manage the database network. one of the best jobs skills to have these days.

[Ozlanthos]

@Fischkid2 What is the exact title of "25N"? I tried looking it up but Youtube lacks a vid for that MOS. 25U perhaps?

-Oz

[redpanda137]

@Ozlanthos Nodial Network operator. They get cisco systems certificets and such

[redpanda137]

@Ozlanthos go signal. 25b, 25n and 25s are THE best jobs. They get promoted higher than the others and u can use them outside of the army

[KrazeKAM]

@Ozlanthos How old are you?

[Ozlanthos]

@KrazeKAM 37 for another couple of days. Is that important? From what I understand I am good to go until I hit 41.

-Oz

[KrazeKAM]

@Ozlanthos Yeah you are good. They are also trying to fill a lot of the 25 MOS jobs. You should also look into the air force

[Ozlanthos]

@KrazeKAM I would look into AF but I am out of their age range. I did recently find out that I am still good to go for Naval Reserve, but I am more inclined to go with Army for full active simply for the fact that I can get on-base housing thus saving that much more dough. Can you think of any reason I should go Navy reserve as opposed to active-duty Army?

-Oz

[T16Akatsuki]

@lancastergurl most of your jobs have you in battlefield temporary bases so you will be on the battlefield but in a slightly air condition room

[dericks0n]

Have you checked out the 25b site at 25bmos .com

[32chelita]

Hey just here doing a little look see of my mos before I leave for BCT. I leave august 24th to Fort sill so that's exciting lol. Anyway, I would really like some more insight on my mos from someone who has already been through it. I just turned 18 and to be quite honest i'm a giant nerd so this is just my thing lol. Any advice, tips or info would help thanks.

[GeekBoy03]

@Lookingforfourfor say what? You the one giving because you claim you cant do the math. I was the Poster Boy for unable to do math. I wanted the degree in Computer Science bad enough and after a lot of hard work, finally saw how easy math really is. It is you withthe attitude of quiting because you want to avoid things with math, Thus enjoy Geek Squad @ $7 an hour .

[GeekBoy03]

@Lookingforfourfor Well then good luck working at best buy for $7 an hour

[GeekBoy03]

@Lookingforfourfor You could prpbably get a job with Geek Squad in Best Buy, but hwy a boring job? Your bets bet would be to use your GI bill to go earn a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at an ABET accredited univeristy. Then we are talking about working at places like Micosoft starting off at $60K+ a year, or at the company with the largest IT system in the business world; Walmart. If you dont liek that idea, then stay at Best Buy for $8 an hour.

[GeekBoy03]

@Lookingforfourfor no math

[GeekBoy03]

I wonder what they do if you have a Bachelor degree in Computer Science?

[15Megatron]

Yeah the ones in "BDU'S" are National Guard and the ones in "ACU'S" are active. Not only that the monitors are CRT and the towers are huge as shit! Well the video is right about the "long hours" in the field day and night, thats for damn sure. And you start with a Secret and depending were you are and work, you could end up with a Top Secret-SCI.

[MrGadjetable]

@15Megatron Then why am I National Guard and wearing ACUs?

[T16Akatsuki]

@MrGadjetable because he thinks because he play call of duty he knows everything about americas armed forces

[RobbiesSpace28]

Hey, I was wondering if I could select this MOS if I went through the Army ROTC, or is this strictely enlisted work?

[GeekBoy03]

@RobbiesSpace28 MOS are for enlisted people. As a comissioned officer they put you in a branch of service you have no control over. There you are a manager, not a technician. To have the best of both worlds, you become a Warrant Officer.

[mazdaridin]

How can you mix old and new on this video. This MOS sucks if you get a stupid or shitty unit with nothing more than common printer and login issues. If you get a good unit you will be working on cool stuff and running routers, switches and shit but most likely youll be in front of a monitor bored to death or getting pulled for a lot of extra stuff. S6 is known as the Duty Staff, once your mission slows down your the "hey you I need help for this detail" group, great civilian jobs though....

[Sebas3440]

25B FTW! :D

But holy shit, this video's out of date. xD

There's a damn serial port on the computer at 0:35.

[jubileetre7]

What do I need to score on the asvab in order to get this job?

[invertedfailer]

@jubileetre7 idk but i scored a 73 and they told me i could almost pick whatever job i wanted.

[MrSnozzz]

@jubileetre7 you must score atleast a 100 on the st (skilled technical)

this is my mos

[wannabeb3]

This is a friggin old video! Look at the size of those computer cases! Come on now! A CRT monitor? Do they still make those things?

This is a good video! "Come join the Army, so you can work on 15 year old computers!" LOL

[dericks0n]

check out 25bmos com for more information.

[lokbomb]

I am a 25B currently sitting in Iraq "doin muh job" watching a computer screen for 12 hours in case the network goes down, yay!

[Spyhunter107]

@lokbomb that seems like an easy job!!

[PureHyeGrl]

I hope the military technology isnt as old as this video.

[steffenhagen69]

will you get yelled at by drill sergents in this mos training as well?

[johnny21usaf]

Not anymore. That was the old days. Theres just NCOs and they MIGHT yell. But not like DSs...

[ToadsMGodes]

@steffenhagen69 at boot camp..yes

[johnny21usaf]

this job does suck. So boring. And if youre NG. Dont even plan on doing it. Unless you need the money try to go to the guard school. Youll never do your job. (not like i would want to). I'd rather help in the motorpool...

[GottiDaChef]

whats NG

[johnny21usaf]

National guard...

[xleeboi]

who cares what its like settin yourself up for seccess
