CAREER STRUCTURE
Every MOS has a specific number of positions authorized. This framework
provides the structure for those who have been awarded the MOS. All personnel working
in an MOS need to be familiar with the duties of their MOS at each level of skill. Most of
the positions authorized are at skill levels one and two. The 91R, at these skill levels,
inspects food designated for consumption. Food inspection responsibilities are
performed whether assigned to a TDA unit or a TOE unit. At skill levels three, four, and
five, the 91R is assigned to supervisory positions for veterinary service units. A brief
sketch of the responsibilities of each skill level follows (see figure 2-1).
a. Skill Level 1. After completion of advanced individual training (AIT), the
91R10 is assigned to a food inspection specialist position under the direction of an
experienced non-commissioned officer (NCO). Normally, duties are rotated at intervals to
provide experience in all aspects of food inspection. The rank at this skill level goes
through E-4.
b. Skill Level 2. The rank at this skill level is E-5. The 91R20 performs food
inspection duties at a higher level of complexity and assumes some administrative
responsibility. The duty position is food inspection NCO. There are some positions
available for subsistence surveillance inspector and procurement quality assurance
sergeant in commercially-contracted facilities.
c. Skill Level 3. The rank at this level is E-6. The 91R30 may perform food
inspection duties as needed. Normally, however, he will be assigned supervisory and
management responsibility. As food inspection NCO, he may supervise 3 to 7
subordinate personnel in small inspection units. In addition, there are some positions
available for procurement quality assurance NCO in commercially-contracted facilities,
quality auditor, and veterinary services NCO for a TOE unit.
d. Skill Level 4. The rank at this level is E-7. The 91R40 is assigned supervisory
and management responsibility. As food inspection NCO, he may supervise 8 to 28
subordinate personnel in medium size food inspection units. Another position available is
veterinary services NCO, with similar supervisory responsibility.
