![]() at the time there were four MOS being reorganized into two. There were a lot of mergers over the years, I started out as a tanker and re-classed into MOS 29F which was Fixed Station COMSEC Repair. I came in under the title Signal Support Systems Specialist as a 31U in 98-99. But I think it was more of war and push for promotion mixed in with more mixing of Signal MOS's at the lower echelons that caused the shift in roles rather than the numerical number changing. You find more saying I'm tactical and that's what the B's, Q's, ect are for. Where instead of one SM not being Computer smart or just Universal. We also had a shot of other Signal MOS's coming down to the BN levels and it farther decided our world until you have what you see now a days. When we rolled over to 25U was during a shift to get more bodies into the Army and poor leadership started the devide of us being knowledgeable on almost all things communication related. We conducted classes on the equipment since we were the subject matter experts. But we will not do their job for them and they will try claiming that you're COMMO and it makes it easier." We did the installation kits on Vehicles. We will troubleshoot the lines if there are issues. We will terminate the connections and plug them into the switches. We will guide and supervise when need be. We didn't have Limas and so we gave classes from doctorine on how to properly run wire and splice wire (DR-8 and WF-16) or as my COMMO CHIEF always told us, "running wire is a basic 10 level (user) task. I was also part of the transition to making users do there part in keeping the COMS up. How slogan was Universal and not Uniform when asked what our MOS was. But just the same I was required to know COMSEC and Retrans (the only true job our MOS has). I was the automations guy as were transitioning into bigger and better computer systems. When I came in as 31U, be didn't see Bravos at the BN level. ![]()
