@@stt577gaurenteed job for 91E? I’m a hard spot at home rn but need to get out I’m in trade school for machining tech. Would hate to “pick” then end up 91b I have a passion for machining and am definitely willing to learn how to weld I have no desire to be a mechanic.
I graduated ait years ago and I have yet to do my job, if you get stationed in a unit that has welding capabilities your lucky, and if you have machining capabilities your super lucky. I’ve been stationed on 3 different post in the last few years and not one has had any real welding machinery. So your definitely getting cross trained wether you want to or not. You’ll definitely be a part of Service & Recovery so you’ll be running the m984a4 wrecker and the m88a2.
Reom One I’m in high school and been looking at mos’s that I might like but as of now I’m welding in high school & sounds like that stinks if you ain’t doing much work . Do you still get paid or you have to clock in to get full pay ?
Dion Rodriguez you still get paid regardless of the amount of work you do. Theirs no ‘clocking in’ A normal work schedule runs from 0900 - 1700 but may vary depending on your units mission. Joining the army as a welder is great if you want to get your certifications, which you can get when your in ait. Just don’t mess up and sign a 5+ year contract off the bat, start off with something light like 2-3 years if you can.
@@Chuys_Rd1 how much can i make if i join the army as a welder (do i have to become a welder before joining?) and get deployed overseas? i heard being a military support welder in the middle east can pay up to $200,000
Johnny Irvine everyone in the army makes the same amount, your pay will be based off the amount of time your in the army. Some will make more because they have certain schools ( ie Airborne ) but overall almost all soldiers are paid the same. You do not have to know about welding. In fact most people are clueless on welding but the army will send you to a 22 week long course and teach you all you need to know. You will probably never see 200,000 in the army. A civilian welder that’s contracted through the army and is deployed to a combat zone might make that amount but that’s someone who’s very experienced and probably has a military back ground.
Wow, all these skilled trades and engineering technician programs are very interesting. Seems to be on par (if not better) than technical-community college!
In machinist tech school rn at a community college thinking about Joining my this once I get out because I’ll already have a good understanding what’s going on I want more training and hands on work before going in the real world only thing is School is extremely expensive in the civilian sector
@@peeeoii2738 I used my savings to pay for some costs at community college. The rest, I borrowed and paid it all back in a few months time. You can take a calculated risk (gamble) with small student loans. But make sure you know your area job market prospects for your field of study.
Joined as a 91E and it was a complete and utter waste of time. I was stationed at Fort Eustis, which is considered to be the best place for your MOS, and it was absolutely miserable. Chief Wheeler drove the shop into the ground, and only allowed certain people to do machining straight out of AIT. The rest became slaves to details. I regret choosing this MOS, and so does all of the other soldiers I went to AIT with. At other bases you'll have a more likely chance of working as a vehicle mechanic than you will ever have doing your job. I was also screwed out of my machining certs because I was put in night class. What a joke the Army is. When I left I had gained zero experience and skills in machining and welding and had no choice but to go back to school in order to obtain a job.
@@jonoa2189 If you're lucky you can get your welding certs while attending the school and also the welding training, but you won't know how to read blueprints or build anything so your knowledge will be very minimal. I did not get a 20k bonus, and if you do any kind of MOS or join any branch you can get the GI Bill. Once you go to AIT that's it for your training. Good luck getting experience and learning your job.
@@rikoea6530 i want to join 91e so i can get better welding knowledge and certification, i was wondering if 91e was eligible for the 20k bonus. is it a low density mos
No, it's not hard to get the MOS 91 E, what is rare is going to a unit where you won't just be lumped in with all the other Maintenance platoon troops. I love welding/machining but this is quite possibly the most non existent job (not MOS, but actual day to day job) in the Army. I don't know why they don't just make one MOS for Service and recovery, and learn to be a track mechanic as well as a allied trade specialist.....but that would be too logical
You'll have to talk to a recruiter about this. Make sure you get something in writing saying you'll be a citizen when you do your enlistment and make sure to make copies of any paperwork for that. You'll learn paperwork gets lost in the military fast for some reason.
I’m not in the army but I am in the process of becoming a machinist, if you’re working a lathe or a milling machine all you really need to memorize is the lathe and mill speeds with a couple formulas, for CNC it’s a bit more in depth, not necessarily for math but in the g codes you have to memorize

Graduated April 2019. These guys were my instructors along with a few extra who weren’t shown in this video.
How do you apply once you finish basic training?
@@tiernanwearen9499 you choose the mos before you ship out

Its exciting to see my battles and instructors. AIT was awesome and I wish I could go back.
Stop the cap
Why lying
This is what my grandfather did during the Vietnam War
I love the name, garzongonzalez. Has a nice ring to it.
If I just have one college class of welding. Do I would get a welder certificate when I enter the army?
While at the school house i was taught how to mop the army way
Awesome

Thats me! I love it! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🤙
Nice I’m trying to reclass to this after this contract
How often do classes start?
❤❤❤❤❤❤
What are the chances of me getting this MOS I really enjoy welding and am hoping I get this one
I just got a contract as a guardsmen seems pretty easy
Probably very easy just scored good on the asvab to get a better chance
its ight
Currently at ait as a 91E on week 3 of 22 weeks🥲
How is it so far?
I’m currently a 12B and want to change my MOS and 91E seems like it’s a good MOS. But I would like to know your opinion about it.
You’ll end up as a 91B after AIT lol.
Ricky Fennecken why?
No, it's not hard to get the MOS 91 E, what is rare is going to a unit where you won't just be lumped in with all the other Maintenance platoon troops.

AJR my unit doesn’t have any welding capabilities so our welders just became mechanics and they stay late fixing our vehicles... not a glamorous life
How come? Is 91e hard to pass and easy to fail?
I'm in AIT right joe and I know alot of those instructors lol
Mike Gee yes
Pussyyyyy
Is this the same school that Marines attend?
7resist7tyranny7 yes. Marines and army go to the same school house, except they have different instructors for the most part.
Reom One Thanks for the info!
Sup goose
I got a 64 on the ASVAB can I do this?
Yes. As long as you make atleast a 50 you're golden.

Better off going to a trade school
To be fair though if you don’t have a lot of money to afford tuition wouldn’t this be a halfway decent option?
Can I join on a green card?
You'll have to talk to a recruiter about this. Make sure you get something in writing saying you'll be a citizen when you do your enlistment and make sure to make copies of any paperwork for that. You'll learn paperwork gets lost in the military fast for some reason.
@Mike Gee Yeah they did. when i was in AIT i had to learn welding and machining as a 91-echo and that was 6 years ago.
Did you join army already?
If you not, contact me
I will help you
How much math would you need to know to do something like this ?
I’m not in the army but I am in the process of becoming a machinist, if you’re working a lathe or a milling machine all you really need to memorize is the lathe and mill speeds with a couple formulas, for CNC it’s a bit more in depth, not necessarily for math but in the g codes you have to memorize
Lies
Explain ma dude
I would recommend you go to college and do this job in the guard. Machinist and welders don't make money. White collar is the way to go.
I guess you’ve never heard of pipeline welding in the oil field and refineries. They make way more than most white collar works ever will 💀
