Is the Army MOS 25C Radio Operator-Maintainer still an active position? When I joined the Army back in 1982 it was MOS 05C, switching to 31C before I got out.

I am not 100% sure on this, but I did a search here and I am seeing several actively serving SMs who are 25C Radio Operator Maintainer MOS. If the first link below doesn't clarify for you, pls try the second one.

SPC(P) Doug Moxley I was 05B, then PCSed from my 1st unit, and found out that my MOS no longer existed, was offered 31K or 31C, I asked them "what is a 31K?" he responded wire dog, I told I would take 31C, after troop school, they put me in as team leader, but we were Ratt. Hard to find on RallyPoint drop down lists.

Here's an updated photo of Brem's Barracks at Fort Gordon, GA. They're no longer being used but the photo takes me back to 1982-1983.

I see this feed is a little old but thought I'd put this info out there anyway. I was a 31c in 1990 and in late 91 they phased out the ratt rigs and we all got reclassed to either 31d or 31f. 31f was mse operator and 31d was wire dog. According to the dropdown menu on this site looks like that has all changed again.

You are correct! the old signal 31 series is now today's 25 signal series. Current MOS 25C Radio Operator/Maintainer is being merged into MOS 25U Signal Support Systems Specialist. The current AIT for 25U is 16 weeks. Aug 1, 2020
