Hey man just a question so I’m thinking reserves but there is no combat mos for the reserve could you tell me what this means and what I can do ?

[@Spidieder]

Where were you stationed when you were attached to an infantry unit?

[@CrowsInYoBed]

ok so i want you to answer this real quick can you be i 11b and have a MWD

[@CrowsInYoBed]

im plan ing to go in to the infertray but i want to have a MWD with me can that be done

[@Lettusfarm]

Ones you don't talk so much before the meat and potatoes

[@RivetGardener]

Three things to know before going to Infantry Basic: About 2 months before reporting you need to run and exercise. Meaning, be able to run 2 miles in 12-15 minutes, do 75 pushusp in 2 minutes and 65 situps in 2 minutes. If you can basic will be smooth for you. Besides this.......the life of Infantry- even in peacetime, especially in peacetime- is extreme hard labor all the time. In the cold, wet, heat and anything else mother nature can throw at you. You will be carrying loads on your back you never imagined. Humping those same loads for more miles than you thought possible. Every day. And you will learn to kill. That is your job. If you are still interested....HOOAH!

[@JaneDoe-nl1vd]

i absolutely took it personally, i think the real take away is how you respond to the assault of insults and hazing, if you take it in stride you'll be 100% A-OK in osut. understanding the difference between stress and pressure are key as well, pressure is a drill sgt telling you to do some impossible feet and busting your balls to make it happen, stress is not having a backbone, fighting against it, and/or not even trying. I had a totally stress free time in basic because i always went with the flow and i came out stronger and better cause of it. So yeah, take everything personally, but think hard about your struggle, you can let it build you up and make you stronger or you can stay exactly the way you came and not grow/evolve any. Infantry osut CAN improve you physically and mentally as a person, or it could not, the choice is 100% yours. Ive seen dudes come out of basic totally different, arguably better, dudes, and some the same shitbags they were when they came, you really do get out of it what you put into it.

I’m thinking about reclassing from 92Y. I’m bored sitting in the office all the time I want a job where I can enjoy being outside. I love the woods and mountains and camping so I figured I can do something I prefer outside. I also like transitioning to doing something better than myself and contributing more to the SMs who have sacrificed more. Any advice? Would I have to shave my head like the initial soldiers or am I treated like a regular MOS-T like at other AITs? Would I be marching everywhere?

[@privatebenny7887]

I'm a 92A and you said it perfectly... I'm ready for a little more action.

[@RivetGardener]

In the Infantry, boots are known as LPC's, otherwise known as Leather Personnel Carriers. You will be marching every-fucking-where you go in the infantry. Once in, you will find that a shaved head is easier to manage in the field an a lot cleaner and you will learn to embrace the buzzcut, especially before a 3 week field excercise. Buddy, as a supply specialist if you haven't experienced Infantry types, you may want to make a recon to one of their battalions and ask around about life there. An Infantry company supply guy will give you tons of info. Good luck.

From experience: if you want 11C and Not 11B, then during Basic and AIT DO NOT show leadership or taking charge, just do your job. When training for specific guns, demonstrate good/full knowledge of the weapon system and shoot well on the range. During the basic/ait phases get along well with others and be seen as a team member.

Depending on what language you are assigned, there's a lot of different places you can go. If you enlist as a 35P without an airborne contract, depending on your language, you may go on a strategic path which wouldn't put you in a FORSCOM or SOF unit. A lot of things will depend on your language that you may or may not get to choose. I enlisted as an 11B and spent my first 3 years in infantry.

I just got back from Meps. Was a corpsman for 5 years with the navy but just signed a infantry army contract for 2020. Leave in august

[@stevenroberts5705]

Kody Glacier hey I’m active marine corps rn can you tell me what it was like transferring

[@alemichelena4621]

Navy as well been thinking about going infantry. I see online lots of Navy guys making the jump food to see

[@aaronglacier9213]

Steven Roberts you go through the same paperwork motions to join, whenever that’s done you go to Meps. Don’t tell them more than they really need to know, pass that. Then wait for your ship date after you picked the job you wanna do at Meps. Then ship out. You won’t have a recruit experience since you’ll be labeled prior service and generally get treated like a normal person compared to a recruit. You don’t get “disciplined” cuz you’re prior you’ve already been they that. All the prior service stay together like you dont interact with recruits. Generally pretty smooth transitioning it’s just covid slowing the process for everything down but I’d recommend joining up again anyway. There’s so many different prior service in my group like 90 in one building. But with different floors. More mature people to be around. I think you’d like it

[@aaronglacier9213]

Ale Michelena a lot of prior service are joint right now with the economy or for whatever reason and you get treated way better than when you first went to boot camp. I’d recommend joining up again

[@Warcrazy911]

What made you want to switch?

[@johndoe2799]

I dont understand alot of this terminology. What is MEPS and OPAT? Also after basic and AIT/OSUT I thought alot of ppl get shipped overseas to Iraq or Afghanistan were it really dangerous. Is this not the case anymore? And if someone wanted to become Special Forces. What is the process like step by step? You don't have much info on SF or Rangers.

[@ztrojefn996]

If you scare to go those places then especial is not something you really wanna do. They see more combat than anyone i guess but Like don’t listen to me buyer do more research and Ull be fine. Bless your heart.

[@11bsavage64]

I am going in as 11B for the National Guard. MEPS is Military Entry Processing Station. If you talk to a recruiter and you have your stuff right he will ask MEPS if they can screen you if you good then you take the ASVB test, which you get 3 hrs to finish. yes ,that test is long and grueling. ASVB will tell the military what Jobs or MOS you qualify for. I scored a 80 on it and I qualified for Special forces but i am to old. To go SF you need to have scored a GT score of 110 and I scored 115 ,you also have to be 20 by the time you go to boot special forces candidate is 18X , you cannot be older than 29 which is why I can't. We aren't at war, but you want danger go 18X or Ranger with the 75th. In order to be a army ranger you can qualify and get the contract for it or go 11B and volunteer is what my recruiter who was a Ranger and was with the 75th told me.
