Thanks. I am interested in small arms. From 50 bmg down. I have no interest in field artillery. There is not many civilian jobs that field artillery will carry over to.
gundog, what you dont understand is that small arms mechanics work on SMALL ARMS AND CAN SERVICE ALL TYPES OF WEAPONS SYSTEMS. I am an Ordnance officer. i handle ammunition, explosives, and various types of munitions - as well as track the soldiers who work on weapons systems. my howitzer mechanics work on small arms as well. you need to do your research and know what you are talking or asking about before you go see a recruiter.
look up 91 series jobs within my branch, Ordnance. its all weapons systems maintenance. we are the largest branch in the entire army. and our guys do everything from mounted patrols to maintenance on weapons to traffic control points, etc. there is no other soldier in the us army that is as versatile as a 91 series ordnance soldier. anyone who knows will tell you this!
