[@sirjoshuafaw]

I was Marine Corps infantry for ten years. I recently joined the Army as enlisted Supply. I was just recently accepted to the green to gold program and begin this August. Does anyone have any recommendations for what field they enjoy working as an officer? I was considering infantry again but it's not terribly desirable considering I have a wife and newborn baby now. I'm trying to plan for something that will cross over to the civilian sector and was considering aviation or quartermaster.

[@Maxevilkiller777]

Go aviation. Go work for an airline or an airport afterwards. You’ll have a great life.

[@johnseaton1967]

A lot of infantry officers have to attend Ranger school, so I don't recommend it either. Whilst Aviation might be a good fit, it's also a 10-12 year service commitment + long training, a good option if you love flying or joining the guard as an officer. If you want to go into the world of computers, there's the Cyber and Signal Corp, 100k a year salary IT and Cyber jobs after you get out as both BOLCs offer a lot of transferable skills and certifications. Ordnance, Quarter Master, and Adjutant General for more logistics and managerial positions. Military Police is good if you want to be a cop afterward, potentially 100k ish salaries too. I can imagine Military Intelligence and Engineering has a lot of transferrable skills too.

i find it so funny how government tax the income of an army which is literally collected by tax🤣

[@dumplingexplorer5034]

As a first lieutenant in CSA, i think you can only have 31 people in your platoon. 12 privates, 6 private first class, 6 corporals, 3 sergeants, 1 something sergeant, 1second lieutenant, and first lieutenant.

[@zainahmed6502]

[@earlgeorge7573]

you are wearing a 3ID patch. I was with the 3ID in Schweinfurt Germany in 1972

[@historyhub2685]

Is this for an 11A MOS?

[@CutiePie-si1eq]

He said "as an armored officer, im responsible for..." and they showed a lot of armored vehicles, so no. He's a 19A (Unless they didnt mention something.)

[@GTBANNA]

11A is Infantry officer, you might of been confused since he is in 3ID, but he is an armored officer 19A

[@SolidusLightning777]

For future reference, a good way to spot an 11A is a Ranger tab on the left shoulder. All infantry officers have to be Ranger Qualified.

[@SolidusLightning777]

@The ReflexBoxer I know that. But OP asked if he's 11A (infantry) and I told OP how to spot 11A when the soldier in the video isn't one

[@dylanmiller1278]

@@SolidusLightning777 they don’t HAVE to have a ranger tab... they can fail ranger school and then keep pushing along as a non tabbed 11A. They just won’t get far in their career.

[@zainahmed6502]

@SirSlapsaho Trollintion Well, no shit

[@zainahmed6502]

On his left arm, he is wearing the insignia of 3rd Infantry Division of the US Army. Judging from his duties, I'm assuming he is a reconnaissance officer in the Armored Regiment of 3rd Infantry Division. --- Reconnaissance Officer = Responsible for military observation of a region to locate an enemy or ascertain strategic features Armored Regiment = Tanks, Heavy Vehicles etc

[@xtne.e1100]

Zain Ahmed exactly what I was looking for. However I did see in one of these videos that he’s an armor officer. Thanks!

[@chickenman417]

Christine Sayago As a ROTC cadet, I’ll give you a more direct answer, he’s probably an Armor Officer. He’s wearing a 3ID patch and he mentions talking about his tanks. Easy.

[@muqtadaabdulzahrah2643]

well i think the healthcare and food is free so that covers it

[@mikel6237]

It is still pretty good money if you're young with a not so valuable degree. Starting off living where he's at and being single, you're making $38,260.80 a year taxable plus $17,956.68 non-taxable. You then make the next 2 ranks automatically every 2 years. So after 4-years in you become a Captain (O3) and are making $68,058 a year taxable, and $19,792.68 tax free.
