MOS Means What?

Something I have encountered time and again throughout my life, are the people who think they know about the military, yet, make the mistake of assuming that joining the military automatically means you will go to the "front lines" and be under constant fire.
What they don't realize, or know, is that there are dozens, if not hundreds of different MOS's, or Military Occupational Specialities, just in the Army alone. Many of the jobs that a future soldier can enlist in do not even have anything to do directly with combat, such as; veterinary technician, dentist, cook, tailor, etc.
The military is so much more than just holding a weapon and shooting at the "enemy," I believe that something so small, as taking the time to learn that there is more than just one ways to serve in the military, is an important facet in the way people look at the men and women who serve our country.
