How about and 05H20? He was an e-5. He was Green Beret in the 70's. Anyone know what became of David Pensyl. I know he wanted to go into the Secret Service after his Green Beret stint. Would love to hear what happened...

Hi.. great site.. You show 05C as Radio Teletype Operator, as well as 05F. This is true, they both were. However, the real title of, and the difference that required two identifiers was, 05C was "Radio Teletype Operator with Morse Code"

Hi,
Actually 05C was just "Radio Teletype Operator." If you were Morse Code qualified, then the suffix "A4" was added. I was an 05C1A4.

23 years in the signal corps and with all the mos's I held, always have been prowd to have started as an 05C or what we called in those days, 05 Everything.. as the covered all of the other 05 series within their mos.

Mike Worth --
Your buddy was likely 05H20, rather than the "00". The MOS is for a SIGINT/Morse Interceptor. What that means in real terms is he was trained in using and reading Morse Code for purposes os Signal Intelligence. He listened to the bad guy's radio traffic conducted using dots and dashes. The ability to read Morse code is a dying art, and my hat's off to anyone who can do it well. Depending on the degree of training, he may simply have transcribed the code into letters and let someone else do the interpretation. I had a couple of guys in my Signal Officer Basic Class who were going on to Vietnamese language training, then were going on to more Signal Intelligence training before they were to deploy. Your buddy may have worked for a similarly qualified officer. --Jim Teener

My buddy from high school--William L. Dudenbostel--was a spec 4-- mos 005h20--Vietnam. Does anyone know what he did there ? I have read the MOS is a morse specialist--not sure what that means. He passed away in 1990 from Agent Orange related disease. Trying to find anyone from his unit who knew him--he could of been in the Green Berets. Thanks all !
Luis Molina 26-Jan-2007 21:33
I was very impressed that someone has taken the time to obtain the MOS codes. My MOS in the Army during the 60's and 70's, was 45J20.
Good Job!
