19D (CAVALRY SCOUT) | KNOW YOUR MOS (EP.6)

Episode 6 of "KNOW YOUR MOS" is ready to go 19D (CAVALRY SCOUT) style!! In this series I try and bring you Soldiers of varying MOS to help shed a little light on what exactly their job entails, and how training for that specific job is. Today we have SPC River Brawn talking about 19D (CAVALRY SCOUT) and what to expect should you choose this MOS! Thank you so much for watching and supporting the channel!

My first MOS was 91B medic...yeah i am old. My second MOS was 19D. They still called me Doc!

[@ambertellez8004]

Literally was just thinking about what 19d entails yesterday. I love your videos. Once my MEPS to MEPS is done, I get to swear in!

[@jacobhawk4560]

As a marine I had some times with some scouts in country and they seemed pretty put together.

[@comeseetheviolenceinherent579]

Your scouts are snipers so yes they are put together. Army scouts are just dudes that were afraid to join infantry. It is the worst MOS in the army.

[@comeseetheviolenceinherent579]

Daniel Meng you’re too much... literally too much. I had the unfortunate pleasure to serve with scouts in Iraq. Just be a man and join the infantry. I wasn’t even an infantryman. I was an FO.

[@Dogmeat1950]

@@comeseetheviolenceinherent579 funny cause I'm an FO and see the Scouts as way better In terms of things you can do over the Infantry. Infantry are fine don't get me wrong but as an FO and seeing both sides ill go scout before Infantry. Play with more weapons,armor,vehicles Final point, look at the Scout FMs way bigger knowledge base going in the Scout world than the Infantry world. And if the only really wanted to and cared they could phase out Fisters and instead put more CFF training inside Scouts and Infantry. And idk but have an incentive to be JFO qualified if need be cause well you don't have to be an FO to be a JFO qualified. I've met 2 Infantry guys here in the 82nd that actually have it lol

[@comeseetheviolenceinherent579]

@@Dogmeat1950 I think the scout role is important but they should recruit people from the infantry to perform the job. All the Scouts were bitches. I think the infantry attracts a better quality person. They know infantry is dangerous and they do it anyway. I wish I wouldn’t have believed the bullshit that “FO is just an intelligent infantryman” that my recruiter fed me. If I could do it all over again I would have insisted on infantry. But coulda shoulda woulda right?

@@comeseetheviolenceinherent579 funny that you say that cause alot of Scout instructors were Infantry before switching.

I’ll be going to basic November for Cav scout. I figure that the skills I will learn from this MOS will help me with the job I was doing before I swore in. Being an Outfitter, I was on a horse, riding deep in the mountains, through tough terrain, setting up hunting camp and shit. Knowing my way around the wilderness will make me more employable when I get out down the road. Or that’s how I see it

Have the 19D reserved for my arrival at MEPS this Tuesday. I want to be 68W, however if it is not there at the time I will be choosing 19D. Parents both military and recommend it. Scored high on the ASVAB so I could get any job I want. I think this would be a great start to a military career. I don't know how well it transfers into the civilian world, however I believe this would be a great start. If I accept, I leave this month! Nervous, however that doesn't dissuade me in the slightest. It would be an honor!

So question as someone who is also interested in becoming a 19D, he said something about wanting to 75TH Ranger Reg, but not being able to but he didn’t say why. Is the 75TH Ranger Reg or tab route (Ranger, Airborne, Sapper, etc.) not available for Cav Scouts or is this specific to his personal journey?

[@TheBenAllen.]

Personal

[@vielewagen4100]

There is no 19D in the 75th ranger regiment. He would have to reclass to an MOS in the 75h. Then applied to be in the 75th.

[@Wileye86]

As a scout you will have options to go to classes, such as ranger school, air assault, air borne, sniper and so on. Going to ranger school and getting your tab doesn't mean you a ranger. The 75th is it's own entity.

[@bnardhoood]

Will Wood yea I knew that I was just curious about being a Cav Scout and wanting to go for the 75TH I think the homie above answered what I needed to do for that. Preciate it tho

[@Dogmeat1950]

@@bnardhoood It's one or the other. 19 Series is Armor end of story, yeah 19D's do a lot of Dismounted stuff but also depends on the unit. so like the 82nd Airborne you'll do a lot of Dismounted stuff. if you wanna try for the 75th pick, 11B,13F or 68W.

Is 19D or 11B more likely to get to go for sniper school? Is 19D more vehicle based or ground unit based?

[@tyw2675]

11B is more likely to get more schools. It's sad but true that Scouts aren't really appreciated or given a fuck about by the big army. Scouts, in theory, should be able to get all or most of the same schools but they just don't. I was a scout, and had an infantry platoon sergeant who tried to get me the best training and schools sometimes, but higher ranking NCO's who were formerly tankers would often get in the way and say no based on my MOS. It was absolutely ridiculous.
