Can anyone improve military job descriptions?

I’ve been browsing through military job descriptions, and some of them seem a bit vague or outdated. Is there a way to provide feedback or request improvements on military job descriptions, or is there a specific process for this?

While military job descriptions—also referred to as Military Occupational Specialties (MOS) in the Army, or Ratings in the Navy, for example—are primarily managed and updated by the respective branches of the military, there isn't a standard pathway accessible to the public or military personnel for submitting suggestions or improvements. The development and refinement of these job descriptions typically fall within the purview of military leadership and specific department heads.

If you're currently serving in the military and have suggestions, your best bet would likely be to discuss your insights with your commanding officer or a personnel department to see if these suggestions could be escalated. If you're a civilian, your best avenue might be reaching out to a military public affairs office or a local recruitment center which could direct your feedback to the appropriate channels.

Remember, while these descriptions may sometimes feel vague, they are this way to encompass a broad range of responsibilities that could potentially arise in a field of duty—the day-to-day can vary widely based on assignment, current operational requirements, and other factors. But your initiative is commendable! It might be beneficial to continue your search on various military bases or branch-specific forums or resources, where you'll often find active service members and veterans sharing their experiences and advice.
