12R or 12K in the reserves?

As a reservist what is your experience like in your MOS? Would you recommend it over the other? I know they both work together when need be but I'm trying to choose one to reclass to.

You will be doing the same thing either way... which is not doing anything mos related at all ever... if i could go back i would at least be a equipment operator or a mechanic...

12R over 12K - we always used generators for power in the field. I don’t ever remember 12K doing their MOS. Best engineer MOS’s are 12B, 12N, than 12W followed by 12C, 12R, 12T, 12V than last 12K. Again this just my opinion from these MOS actually doing their job in training and overseas.

12P that's my recommendation.

I’ve done a lot more carpentry and concrete work than electrical in my twelve years. If you do or civilian side, you can be a good asset to the reserves. Otherwise, you go years between electrical missions and are a bit stunned when given one. I can’t wait to reclass.
