63 Whiskey is a Military occupational specialty which i believe is a light wheel mechanic ie: humvee mechanic the 1 Oscar means skill level one as in private through specialist Oscar stands for no skill identifiers ie a P would mean parachutist or qualified to jump out of planes E-3 just means Enlisted pay grade level three

They are called differently for each service, but they are all based on the same pay "grade". I'll list the paygrade lowest to highest and include the Air Force and Army (if I can remember them)\n\nEnlisted (Air Force then Army)\nE-1 Airmen Basic or Private\nE-2 Airmen or Private 2nd Class\nE-3 Airmen 1st Class or Private 1st Class\nE-4 Senior Airmen or (Corporal and/or Specialist)\nE-5 Staff Sergeant or Sergeant\nE-6 Technical Sergeant or Staff Sergeant\nE-7 Master Sergeant or Sergeant 1st Class\nE-8 Senior Master Sergeant or Master Sergeant\nE-9 Chief or Sergeant Major\n\nOfficer Titles are the same for Air Force and Army\nO-1 2nd Lieutenant\nO-2 1st Lieutenant\nO-3 Captain\nO-4 Major\nO-5 Lieutenant Colonel\nO-6 Colonel\nO-7 Brig General\nO-8 Major General\nO-9 Lieutenant General\nO-10 General

The same as any other E-7 makes.  Go to military.com and go to paychart to find how much a E-7 makes.

I came in as an E-1.  I got E-2 out of boot camp.  I got E-4 and E-5 first time up.  I put on E-6 right at the 6 year mark.  Chief Petty Officer at 10 1/2 years.

63H is what we called a "3rd shop" tracked vehicle mechanic (I was a 63T - Field Level Maintenance).  They get a little further into the guts of the vehicle; separating power plants, disassembling parts of the engine & transmission, and I believe they do hull work on the Bradleys.  They work primarily on Bradley Fighting Vehicles, M113 Personnel Carriers, and some light wheeled vehicles.\n\nAs far as the 3000 part, I'm not sure.  I think it is, in fact, Staff Sergeant level.

It's not yet updated with 2006 rates, but here is a good site for all things pay-related in the armed services:\n\nhttp://www.defenselink.mil/militarypay/index.html\n\nIf he's not already in boot camp, his recruiter should be able to provide that info.

I was in the Navy for 4 years, and a Seaman Apprentice is just a rank in the military (Navy).  Pay grade wise, you are a E-2 and you will move up in rank (Seaman, E-3) depending on your work evaluations which will be made by person in charge of what ever division you go to depending on your job title, good luck.

You may want to take a look at the link below from the Department of Defense. It lays the ranks out in all branches side by side to compare. It may help you better understand just how much your brother has accomplished. As others have said, you should be very proud. And if he ever uses the term "Senior Chief" or "Master Chief" to describe himself, then know that he's ranked even higher. Either E-8 or E-9.

Its an MOS that is only open as a special duty assignment and you have to put in a package. I'm not sure but think its only open to NCOs

Depends on what pay grade it is. \nIf it 's an E-7 then its a GS 5\nAn O-10 which is General is a GS 13\nJust depends on what pay grade it is.

The above answer is VERY GOOD.  In fact it is taken right out of COMNAVCRUITCOMINST 1130.8f (the Navy Recruitment instruction).  Unfortunately that manual expired in OCT of 2005.  The new instruction COMNAVCRUITCOMINST 1130.8G (which is be used today), removes the “Recruit training and assignment to initial duty station” category.  So, here is the current instruction:\n\na.Buddy groups shall not consist of more that four individuals.\nb.All members of any one BUDDY group must be enlisted on the same day, at the same MEPS, and arrive at RTC together.\nc.All members of a buddy group must have a VE line score of 42 or higher (ASVAB SCORE)\n\nSo… Everything down to the categories in the above answer is correct.  Category (A) is still open as long as the above criteria’s are met. Now, I just got off the phone with a MEPS station, the Buddies DO NOT have to pick the same job.  However if they do the have a very good chance of classing up at school together and then selecting orders together the same duty station..\n\nAny questions email me….Hope this helps.
