I received a phone call yesterday while I was at work, Cpl D is going from 13M to 68T to 31B. For all of you non-military folk who read my blog that translates thus: 13M is a Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS/HIMARS) crew member - Cpl D's current MOS. 68T is an Animal Care Specialist - which is what Cpl D wanted to do, but it turns out you need to have vocational training for before you even can be considered for the MOS. 31B is Military Police - which is hopefully what Cpl D will be approved to do by the DOD. Things change fast in our lives, so fast that sometimes I don't know what page I'm on. If you can't keep up, I don't really blame you.
We should find out by May 15th if Cpl D has been approved to go to 31B AIT (Advanced Individual Training), which will consist of 12 weeks of training in Missouri. This means I will be home alone, with the attack cats, yet again. The nice thing about 31B, if he is approved and gets through all of the training, is that all military bases have Military Police units, this opens up our choice of duty stations to a lot more options. Who knows we could even end up in Europe.

Hi I saw your blog and I was wondering why CPL D couldn't stay with 68T. I am re-enlisting and I have a choice of duty station. My wife and I would prefer to move back closer to home and I was wondering if you knew where 68T's are usually stationed or is it pretty much anywhere with a medical hospital? Also I have a general idea what the job is but I know the army doesn't like to always tell the public exatly what their getting into when they enlist so what exactly does that MOS involve? I'm looking at choosing that MOS, by the way, so i'd like to get all the facts straight. Thanx for the help

Hey I'd like to know too. I'm thinking of joining specifically for the 68T MOS with willingness to go 31B with Z6 SQI if it's unavailable but I don't want to be digging ditches in Iraq because I'm stuck in the Army. Any info would help.
