Which MOS? Which Branch?
I would just like some feed back on MOS 56M(Chaplain Assistant) and 92Y (Unit Suppy Specialist)? I would like really 56M since I want to work in youth ministry when I get out. Though it seems like one of those MOSs where the demand would not be too high. So that is why I'm considering 92Y. It is one to the Top Ten Most Critical MOS and one I could see myself doing. I'm looking into the Army National Guard but still open to anyones opinions on the other branches.

I would first look at the pros and cons of Regular army vs army reserve and national guard, once you made up your mind which route you want to take, go with the MOS that you want, not the one that will give you more money, cause you are going to be doing the job for a bit, and the army is not something you can say oh well i dont realy like this, i'll quit this job and go to another. so you need to make sure its a job you will like.
92Y Unit Supply Specialist
You will train at Ft Lee for about 6 weeks and you probably wont get your orders until two weeks before you graduate.
After graduation you will do supply work when not deployed you drive around base (really good to have your own car a major plus) do supply work 7-3 or 9-5 all depends on where you are stationed at. At the Motor pool some driving and arms room cleaning and passing out weapons during training. And some clerical work typing in stuff for you sgt.
good luck
Chaplain assistant is the chaplain's bodyguard....
Can be a potential dangerous (yet exciting) job.
For example, the local population is mad at the US Miltary for some reason, the chaplain and the assistant will go into a mosque or community center to discuss "under the eyes of the same God" the issues and mediate disagreements.
The chaplain assistant coordinates for security, civil-military support and escort into the dangerous neighborhood. If that appeals to you, go for the CA job...
The Marines are the infantry of the army. They carry out a little patrols on water, yet particularly it extremely is the Coast look after and army that patrol, and in the event that they arrive for the time of a issue they the two have the Marines or the SEALS preserve suggested issue. the army would not have something to do with water. yet pondering it extremely is 2010, there extremely can not be any wrestle happening at sea, different than a minor case of Somali Pirates now and then, wherein the SEALS preserve.
Chaplain's Assistant isn't in huge demand.
92Y, however, is. One look at the bonuses and it's easy to see that.
But for real, if your heart is in the Chaplaincy, do that. It's better to do something you love than something you hate.
