Military Mos what is Item 16A EL tango sci-18b?

Answer 1

I'm not certain this question makes sense without further context.

As far as US Army MOS's a 16A designation does not exist. MOS's with a 15 designation is Aviation, and 18 is Special Forces. Neither 16 nor 17 are currently used.

The MOS 18B is a Special Forces Weapons Sergeant.

"EL Tango" or LT or Lima Tango (phonetically) is a level or system designation. I have no idea what the "sci" indicates. Militarily speaking, I would expect the nomenclature to read 16ALTsci18B. Without further context than a vague reference to MOS, I doubt this can be answered further.

For instance: A clear MOS nomenclature will read two numbers digits, a letter, two number digits, a letter and a number--at most. The MOS 15E10Y1 indicates a Pershing Missle enlisted crewman of E4 or lower rank that is certified on the Perhing II Missile System. (Although the weapon system Pershing has been decommissioned since the '90's).

15E - Pershing Missle Crewman

10 - range of ranks

Y1 - Pershing II certified

In the event the MOS is designated a nine or less, it will be indicated prefaced by a zero, as 00 (Duties Unassigned) or 02 (Combat Arms). There is also no designation for an MOS of 10.
