@@amilcarflores7905 if you have no education. And after 1 year later. You pay grade will be E2. $2000 before taxes. After taxes depends on your duty station, will be 1860 a month
Very proud of these Soldiers. They are highly sought-after resources by the warfighters and they are few in number which often results in an extremely high optempo. When they are done with service Schneider Electric would love to have them on the team!
I wonder if anyone ever does multiple enlistments in the 12s and leave to become general contractors. 12R(interior Electr) with 12W(Carpentry & masonry) and 12K(Plumber) sounds like a very strong skillset.
Don't get your hopes up once your done with your AIT that will be the last time you'll ever do electrical work. We the civilian do all the electrical work on the Base.
I was an Army Electrician. Assigned to the 11th Engineer Bn. (Combat) As part of a Brigade combat team, You will do what the mission requires. Bridges, Culverts, rapid runway repair and any and all of that while Combat ready. If the unit gets called for an IED you will disarm it or explode it safely. In the States. Your training command will bid for contracts on bases in your region. One summer we did a laundromat. But that is very rare. As an engineer you are an essential part the most experienced military in the world. The 6 week AIT is self paced. Most finish in 3 weeks. Your AIT is also part of One Station Unit Training. OSUT. Meaning basic training Combat Engineer Training and AIT with the same unit and same Drill Instructors.
With all due respect, self paced???? I went through AIT Bravo 269 Ft. LW in 2019 as a 12R...there was no self pace. 6 and a half weeks was the full length. You had to do the full training and pass/fail, either you graduated or were retained for one more cycle or if failed recycled back into a different MOS somewhere else. 🤔 Also, not trying to be an asshole, but what year was that?
I finished the 51r10 course in 17 days. That was in the 1980s. Frankly, the mos has not changed, the merging of the 51 series with the 12 series is more honest of the Army. Considering the 12B mos is a combat engineer. There is one other course the Engineer school requires of. Future engineers. Combat Engineer Training. Which lasted two weeks in the 1980s. For the record I didn't bother to correct all the people who were misleading with their comments. I simply gave the information people considering the MOS should know. I will now include the OSUT requirement. Meaning the prospective engineer student will be in the same unit with the same Drill Instructors for basic as for CET and AIT. Where most other MOS students go to a new school or even a new training center where their schools last months, the Engineer student stays with the same unit. With all due respect everything I have posted is without malice, completely honest, well intended and coming from an actual army interior electrician.
@@marlonmoncrieffe0728 OSUT = One Station Unit Training. The same Drill Instructors and same Unit for Basic, CET, and AIT. Everyone in the Company is doing OSUT. So a platoon being part of the company is too. It is best to never pretend you know something. Instead learn about it from those who do.
I can tell you right now I have never seen Army electricians anywhere on post. Whenever we need HVAC, Electricians, Plumbing or anything else, guess who the Army sends... you guessed it. Civilians.
@@emanuelolivera1611 My buddy is a electrician, when deployed they'll do humanitarian stuff like install electricity for villages or compounds but stateside I can't speak for that
@@tanner5209 - Yep. The way it works is: You're a soldier first, you're a soldier second, and you do your MOS when the Army feels it's needed. You're a 12 Detail 11 months and 2 weeks out of the year and a 12 Romeo maybe 2 weeks out of that year. (field training and NTC)
@@thespadestable I was stationed at NTC for 3 years (fml). We did tank gunnery 2 weeks out of the year. The rest of the time I was rucking all night playing haj in the mountains. Even there I barely did my job.
@@RaulReyes-dd3di I am thinking about enlisting, I already did meps and passed with a qualifying ASVAB score. I am an apprentice in Ibew local 164 right now thinking about going into 12R bc it's the same thing I am doing now. My option for 12R is through the NJANG. do you actually get to do electrical work in the army after you finish AIT?
@@Midnitedreary88 to be 100% honest. Stay with the IBEW, you literally hit gold with that job. The reason you should be joining is if your willing to reap those benefits and die under the wing of Uncle Sam. If I were you I would stick with your job and continue to pursue that career. The military is the definition of overworked and under paid. Unless you want the title of a soldier I advise you stick with that job. If anything join the National Guard! It's part time service one weekend a month and you still keep your Civilian job getting both benefits. It's the smarted thing you can do
even in the 1990s i never saw a single building trade MOS it was always civilians. the fire department was civilian the police on post were civilian, mist of food service was civilian.
I’m currently in trade school for electrician does anyone know for sure if they offer electrician jobs in the army I will like to join after i graduate
