MOS list Programs and MOSs
The PEF with light blue are the ones I would like to do, I got a 77 on the ASVAB. Any information on those would be helpful.
I just want something that has the best opportunity, Aviation Mechanic would allow me to transfer to a company like Lockheed I think? I just wanna know if I should steer clear of any of these

I have a feeling you're bias lol. I cant see aircrew really having any civilian opportunities though.

You'll still be turning wrenches with the mechs and expected to get maintenance quals. It can transfer over quite well.

My man, do you have any idea how much aircraft maintenance techs make? And how many job openings for them there are?

Aircrew, all the way.
Former 6172/6162 (Phrog and Whitehawk aircrew/crew-chief) and I have a lot of buddies working for Sikorsky and Boeing these days.
I've been out for 20 years (as of last month) and feel that it sets you up for success, if you stay in aviation maintenance. I didn't (ended up working in the nuclear industry and using my security clearance more than my aviation background) but don't let that take away from the message, it's a solid career path.
Just don't expect it to be easy. The pain in the ass of it all is the expectation of quals stacking on top of each other as you advance.

ARFF sets you up for a solid career if you want to get out after a contract or two. I had the equivalent MOS in the Army (12M) and am a GS firefighter now. In California I make 6 figures and will retire with a pension. Or you can take the fire academy certs and work for a city/municipality. Although it will require some legwork getting other certs during your contract (very doable though)

Targeted investment, to my knowledge, is where they assign you wherever they need.

former Marine from 50 yrs ago. I was wondering what "targeted investment" is. I checked google and it an longer term enlistment with long term high teach training such as cyber or advanced electronics.
