What MOS would you join to drive the Stryker combat vehicle?

Answer 1

Although a few different MOS's use the Stryker vehicle, the primary MOS to have the most chance of driving it would be 11B infantryman. The other MOS are also all combat MOS such as scouts. However, if you planned on joining the army for this, know this first. There is zero chance of guaranteeing that you even go to a Stryker unit in the first place. If your recruiter promises you this, its a lie. Second, if you go to a Stryker unit, there is no choosing your job. You could just as well be a rifleman instead of a driver. There are only four drivers in a Stryker platoon, you do the job you're told to do in the infantry, you don't request one. Third, even if you overcame these large obstacles and became a Stryker driver, most drivers only hold the position for 6-12 months before they move to being a rifleman or gunner. If you want to drive for a job, choose an MOS that involves nothing but driving some other vehicle, because the primary job of a Stryker driver is rifleman, then driver. You will still do 1.5 hours of physical training every morning, 12, 18, maybe 24 mile ruck marches with 60 pounds on your back, and everything else the infantry does.
