Just wondering whats the deal with the MOS names. I was a 15Delta10 Lance Missile Crewmember but I also saw a site where they said they were a 13November Lance Missile Crewmember. So whats the deal? Did they change MOS designation in the late 80's?

Anyone out there know?

I'm not sure when the change took place but I went thru AIT in 87 as a 13 November.

I went through in july of 85 and was 15D

I think it changed in Nov 86. I finished training in Sept 85 and it changed a few months before I got out in May 87.

I went through basic in 83 then on to camp pieri till late 85 then onto ft. sill and i thought the change was around then

Hi Larry,

Well was not a 15D but a 15J and was on the Hill from 79 to 82 then ETS loved the time on the hill was the best time in my life. Great fun great friends! Take care, Sgt Howell :O)

I also went through AIT in 87 and was a 13N Did my enlistment in A 1-12 FA 210 FA Herzo Base Germany

Once MLRS was fielded and LANCE was on the chopping block the option was given to either stay LANCE until the end or convert to MLRS.

We were converted from 15D to 13N in late 85 or early 86 I think.

Larry Walls,
I remember you. How have you been doing. You were in A Btry 1/333. I was Section Chief.

Yeah, I remember Larry Walls even better, considering I slept on his sofa for about a month after I got out at Sill. What's going on Man!!

Larry was a character. Always trying to be the comedian when so many of them were always out of work. I also have to say that he was a good soldier and always got done whatever task I gave him.

hey ken kind of fun to go back to the old days aint it i just remembered walls. do you remember dave stafford supply sgt. i still talk with him we kept in touch .i just found a picture of you walking down the hall with patty pachinski?spelling you must have been taking her somewhere you had on bdu's she had on dressgreens do you remember when sgt young nbc. sgt was walking funny for a while his bittbull got in bed with him and his wife one night he decided to kick him of the bed, dog said frick you and bit him in the groin he had to beat the dog half to death to make him let go. boy he took some razzing on that one

it was my understanding in ait 90 that zulu and delta was a higher clearance mos.i was 13n10 with zulu delta training at ait with a secondary mos as 13m(mlrs) ait (90).in 91 my primary mos became the 13m(mlrs)

Yeah, I became a 15D10Z10 (I believe that was the correct nomenclature) back in the 'Shiem with Chief Nunez. When I went to Sill in 85' I got offered a change for the killer job of working at Lance Branch with Nunez since he had gone there a year earlier.

But, Nooooo, Top Montgomery at C Brty 6/33 said no, and I quote, " Sorry Ramirez, But we really need Zulu's here in Charlie Brty." Then the fucker makes me his Battery Clerk a week later, yeah he really put that Zulu training I had to good use.

yea i know what you mean.at least i got to run around and do evryones comsac during alerts.my favorite thing was calibrating the gsu and rto's and hanging in with the como guys working on the radios,when i wasnt in the bay helping maintance pull a pack or over in the ant working on the boom.hell i guess my favorite thing i had to do was dig up all that dirt from oil changes in the motor pool and place it in trash bags.no i take that back busting track that was really the shit.

Dude, it was Lance Branch, Chief Nunez already had me set to give newbs AIT as an Instructor. Oh, well, it was like 20 fricken years ago. :P

I Know Ssgt Nunez At River In The Late 1970S.We Both Went To The Wo Broad At The Same Time.I was An Wo InThe Marines. So I My Wo Back At Rivers.I Was Wo2 inThe Marines.I Pick-Up Wo2.I Went To Lance Branch In1981 Stay There Till Mid Of 1983 When I Had An Heart.I Was Med.Ret As Wo3.I Now Own An 18 Tractor.I Miss The Army Some Times.We Had Good Back Then. I'm Now Almost 52 Years Old.Were The Time Gone!!!!!

The reason it went to 13n was they were transitioning us to FA instead of missile...13 series was FA...15 was missile....we were being brought into the FA for organization purposes ....also at that time they were trying to get us straight with the secondary MOS' HEAVILY.. as I remember...I was Lance from 82-90...
