  • Good, I like that you share this video Army MOS 25S Satellite Communication Systems Operator/Maintainer, I wish success always

  • Nice Video Army MOS 25S Satellite Communication Systems Operator/Maintainer That You Share , So Very Nice Thanks You

  • unless your slated to go one chuck or are guard/reserve be prepared to wait 2 to 3 months for your second set of classes. i am guard and i got about a month left before i finish ait, and i cannot wait for that day. so speaking from a point of view that is purely from my training environment, good luck with your extended stay in tradoc.

  • was at ft gordon with some 25Bs. one of the chicks got assigned to a stateside unit doing tech support for a really boring program. 25S you would have to know more.

  • @dmorris41 i chose 25S because its training you generally cant get in the civilian sector. Also the assignments can vary. Life at a tac site and a strat site are very different.

  • @blueraider555 Im currently trying to decide which mos to pick, Im leaning toward 25B but have also looked into 25S, P, and N. Any advice?

  • Commenting on the video itself, not the MOS, I'd say the satellite footage they used was even lamer than the part at the end where we see people in 80s clothes in an office. Google "DSCS3" and "Boeing WGS" to see what we really use. We have the reliable Cold War-era DSCS3 and the new rock-steady hotness WGS.

    Just one thing to keep in mind. Instructors are very well versed in what was true 10 years ago. Websites can be from years ago as well. When in doubt, find the updated TM or call the WSOC.

  • For Tac and Strat guys your daily job runs like this: Tac guys make sure the equipment is good, the settings are right, the antenna is pointed right, and the connection is good for your site, while you're out in the field. Strat guys have to check & monitor the equipment connected to the the 10-50 Tac sites they support. Controllers have to monitor & troubleshoot connections for all their Strat and Tac sites, monitor satellites, compile reports, and check equipment, among other things. Busy busy

  • If you're one of the Sierras selected to be a Controller it has it's ups and downs. Personally I like it because

    A) I'm a nerd and we have some really cool shit. No... really.

    B) Everywhere you could get assigned is a great place to be. On your days off.

    C) Every day you work you get a chance to fix something.

  • Recruiters usually know nothing about this job. New 25 Sierras should know we have 3 types of Sierra assignments: Strategic, Tactical, and Controller.

    It's best to think of us like the cable company. Say you're in the middle of Afghanistan and you need your video, your phone, and your data connection. Comcast doesn't deliver there; US Army SATCOM does.

    Tactical sites are the small green antennas in the field. Strategic sites are the white antennas connecting them to the network.
