One thing that makes us who we are is our pride. What is the best job in the military, enlisted or officer, and why?

I am a 25D Cyber Defense Analysis; and i believe all jobs are equal, mostly because i do not want to do your job, yet it has to be done too.

MOS 2531, Field Radio Operator: This is a great job because you know exactly what is going on in your unit and your sister units. You also have the ability to call in the cavalry when help is needed.

Going combat arms into Armor made me feel the essence of the army, play with a unique combat system, and participate with tight crews and units. I made me a better leader as I shared in the triumphs and less than desirable activities.

best job in my opinion is being an NCO it is the NCO corp.that enlisted you then trains you, keeps account of you, and helps you along in your career. The NCO makes sure you have a place to lay your head down, and that your fed till your last day in service and more than likely it is the NCO that carries you to your final resting place and renders the last salute to you .

The NCO corp is the back bone of all the military branches . JUST MY 2 CENTS

0311/0369/9999 - Infantry is the best, because when you get down to base level, everything else is just support.

As a 1305, I ended up doing a little bit of everything while basically being "nothing"...Unofficially, they call us the "Fallen Angels". Sometimes, you end up in the strangest places when you've got nothing left to lose...everything to gain...and a personal mission to win something back for yourself. The way I saw it, if nothing in particular was "in my lane"...there wasn't any lane that I couldn't try to make "mine".

This depends solely on the individual, one role is as honorable and respectable as the other. Personal choice!

That very much depends on your personal perspective and what you want out of life. My MOS was 68W so I'll use it as my example. There's no such things as a commissioned line medic, and being a line medic for a platoon of combat arms guys is exactly what I wanted when I joined the Army. Some guys crave power and/or leadership responsibility so for them being commissioned might be better, but to each their own.

In my opinion, the best job is 79V, Career Counselor. 42A, Human Resources is second. I love helping Soldiers and watching them grow. It's very satisfying to see a Private go to a NCO and then go Warrant Officer, knowing you helped mentor and grow that Soldier is invaluable and so humbling.
