Reserves as MSEO or Weapons Tech - day to day pros & cons?

[jackamela]

I'm looking to join the Reserves as either a Weapons Tech or Mobile Support Equipment Operator - wondering if anyone in those roles can offer any insight into what they are like day-to-day and how much you like your role. Third option is Construction Tech.

Any insights much appreciated.

Thank you

I enjoyed PRes MSE Op.

I suppose it depends if one prefers driving trucks or fixing weapons.

Did you learn much on the maintenance side for the vehicles you were driving, or was it mostly driving them?

Better for a current MSE Op to answer, as the equipment we operated would be three-quarters of a century old by now.

The Vehicle Technicians have their job to do. MSE Ops did Preventative Maintenance.

In the cab, outside the truck, under the hood and under the vehicle.
