Prior service heading to AIT for 91M (Bradley Vehicle Mechanic). I would like to know what are some possible duty stations for us maintainers, any other insight/advice wiling to be given about the MOS (day to day life, promotions, etc) would be appreciated.

Fort Hoods a big one. As for duties, Im not really sure as we maintained our own, but Im guessing you would be handling repairs and services above a 10 level.

Fort Hood, Fort Stewart, Fort Irwin, Fort Riley, Korea, Germany, Fort Polk, Fort Bliss, Fort Benning

Your best way to find this out is to login in to AKO and under My Training look for ACT (Army Career Tracker) explorer this and there is a section that will allow to see every position at every rank at every place you can be. As your rank changes you can go to other locations for a specialty job. That doesn’t include positions that are available such as 1SG. At that point you can practically go anywhere as a 1SG, you’ll be responsible for a company. There are also other specialty jobs across the Army for maintenance (generally SFC).

Ft. Hood, Ft. Stewart jump right out at me. Not sure who still has them or where those units are.

Shoot - if you’ve never been then try Germany!

I wonder if Korea has them as part of a augmented M1 Brigade? Anyone?

As of right now, and on a normal assignment, we as 91M’s have only 6 places: Ft. Hood, TX; Ft. Bliss, TX; Ft. Irwin, CA; Ft. Carson, CO; Ft. Riley, KS and Ft. Stewart, GA. Germany used to be one along with Korea, but now it stopped due to downsize of equipment, so it became a rotation duty for us with some of the units listed above. Also there’s school house for instructors. As for the day to day life, it varies depending on the units, in some of these places you will be performing a different job, not exactly as a Bradley maintainer. In another ones you’ll be traveling a lot. Promotions, the promotion points in this MOS are really low, so it’s technically easier to rank up.
