Notes & Sources
- F5 (Postal Operations) is an Army Additional Skill Identifier (proponent: U.S. Army Adjutant General School), not a standalone military occupation.
- Authority scope: "Identifies positions in postal activities (other than battalion or unit level), requiring Soldiers qualified in the handling of international mail, U.S." Award requirement: "Soldiers must have: (1) No record of: (a) Court martial conviction." Restrictions: "(1) Positions and Active Component personnel." The identifier alone does not establish a civilian occupation; occupation-specific skills and career guidance depend on the holder's primary MOS and actual duties.
