The Army describes 91E Allied Trades Specialist (GoArmy: Allied Trade Specialist) as the Soldier who supervises the fabrication, repair, and modification of metallic and nonmetallic parts to keep Army equipment operating reliably, operating lathes, drilling presses, grinders, welding machines, and other machine shop equipment and serving as a welder. Civilians call this machinist and welding work, which is why machinists and industrial machinery mechanics are among this page's matches.

A note from the founder

I served on active duty in the U.S. Air Force from 2001 to 2009 as a 2W0 Munitions Systems specialist and a C-130 Loadmaster. I served in the Air Force, not the Army, so this page is built from O*NET and BLS data rather than my own memories. The problem is the same in every branch: your experience is valuable, and it has to be written in the civilian employer's language.
