And is it possible to have more than just one line of work (M.O.S.) within any of the armed forces?
There's actually several different things I'd like to do.
(pilot, infantry, etc.)

No, it is not possible to serve in 2 branches of the armed forces at the same time. How do I know? I asked a recruiter. It would be a conflict of interest. If one unit was deployed overseas, this would prevent you from being able to fulfill your other contract. Plus, it would be impossible to work both since most jobs consist of 40 hours or more work weeks. As for learning more than 1 mos, yes, that is possible. It's called a secondary mos. Whichever branch you're in will train you for your primary job. Then, when you have a good understanding of how that works and if and/or are qualified to learn a secondary one, the military will send you to school to learn it. But it is hard to do, not many people actually do it outside of becoming a drill instructor or recruiter.

No, though one service will occasionally "borrow" somebody from another service, and there are more joint operations and closer interservice cooperation all the time.
Why don't you think about the Marines? No matter the eventual specialty, they have that "every Marine a rifleman" philosophy.

no you cannot,,, but you can be deployed with different branches of the military.... for instance in 1991 i was in security in the air force and i was deployed with a marine squad in Kuwait..... you can also apply for an inter service transfer to a different branch of the military........

To the first question no it is illegal. To the second question yes, you can have more than one MOS.

I don't think it is possible. Call a recruiting office and find out. Good Luck! :)
