Much respect thinking about becoming a combat engineer for the (CAF)

Daniel Amparo-Diaz july 16th im leaving as 12b!

Bravo 31st! Black Phase demo day was the best. You'll understand why.

Joyce Malone I don’t think your dad’s experience reflects at all what I did. I think it’s quite different nowadays.

@@marklangley386 what did you do

@@zb3027 Trained in North Carolina for 4 months, deployed to somewhere in the middle east for 6 months on constant rotation. Never trained in the Mojave and always trained in North Carolina. Never pressured into drill sergeant school.

U talking 2030??

So Seth it's been 4 years you like it or nah

It's been 14 years since I did OSUT at Leonardwood. I don't have a clue what it's like now, but assume the weather is still spastic and shitty. Deployments depend on the unit you're in. Some of them are arduous and fun, some are tedious and shitty. There's really not many civilian job skills you get from this job that you wouldn't get from an MOS like infantry. I don't know a single person that used their 12B specific job experience and crosswalked it to any nearly similar civilian counterpart. Chances are you'll be alright regardless

Mark Langley yea i always wanted to go to the army to do things i couldt do as a civilian plus if i was going to learn a job i could do it without the military. Plus i heard that the things you learn while in the army can help you out in any situation outside of it.

Mark Langley thanks for the feedback

He’s playing it up

That’s just how the army is. Everyone hates their job. Infantrymen hate their job. Tankers hate their job. Military police hate their job. Engineers do. Join to do what you want, not what others are telling you to do. If you like office work, pick an admin job. If you like blowing stuff up, pick engineer. If you like being the janitor who is also trained to kill, pick infantry. If you like being in a hot hunk of metal for 8 hours with 3 other guys, pick tanker. They all have their own rewards

We were airborne. We didn’t have a great opinion of air assault divisions

I’m going to Fort Leonard Woods in August 27th. 12B 😬.

Better than Benning I’ll tell you that. Benning sucks, hard. Even 30th AG reception made people want to kill themselves. Jackson is the best place to go as far as quality of life goes but you also won’t get in depth combat training because Jackson doesn’t train combat MOS
