some points here, but first some background. I am retired military I retired in 2019, I started my first 4 years off as infantry, went to Iraq twice, wanted to go to Afghanistan so I reclassed to scout, deployed twice to Afghanistan and one rotation to Egypt, then in my last 2 years, the army decided to put me back in the infantry. now to the points. there is mechanized and light in both infantry and cavalry, there is also strykers, air bourne, air assault you name it they both have them. scouts' primary job is recon of all types. they are the unsung heroes, in fact, infamous battles like Falluja, what you don't hear about is the scouts that were there in small teams before anyone got there and were directing and providing real-time information to assault units while fighting at the same time. as infantry, I patroled places like Sauter city which was mostly driving through in humvees getting shot at, and pulled a lot of security for rangers to do cool stuff. as a scout I got to do some pretty cool stuff, if you wanna get ghillied out and get within 100 meters of an enemy complex and provide information to the assault team days before they ever get there than scout is your game, if you wanna do the patrols than infantry is your game, if you wanna kick indoors than ranger is your game. (scouts are also experts in clearing building because in urban combat a lot of recons is done from buildings) It's all unit dependent in one unit infantry is awesome and does the cool guy stuff in another infantry sucks and scouts do cool stuff. but either way, they are both combat MOS's and you will do both jobs in either MOS. however, if you enlist as infantry you could become a mortar and then spend the rest of your life convincing people that "I'm infantry too" jk mortars, you know I love you. scouts are smaller teams, in Afghanistan, my platoon was made of 3 teams of 6 scouts we were way out in the middle east Afghanistan and we did a lot of "cool guy" missions. in the infantry, we rolled deep af. scouts are on the other hand the most hated on because no one really knows what they go through on deployments and how dangerous the job really is. me, I got to see the best of both worlds and I loved doing all of it. if you want recognition, join the infantry, if you want to work in smaller teams and don't care about recognition join the cavalry. I will add, infantry gets more school slots. I would say doing both would make you a better warrior, start as infantry then go scout. that combination unlocked a lot of opportunities for me to join some cool guy units.

[@mr.k.i.s.s7496]

MPs and Combat Engineers also do Route Recon. All four MOSs including 19K and 88M do mounted battle Drills. All basic dismounted drills (such as patrolling, assault a position, and react to contact) are found In Infantry Field Manuals. After Kosovo, Iraq, and Afghanistan, non-MP MOSs started doing MP Tasks, such as conduct a TCP or Check Point, and Conduct Convoy Security Operations. I like how all those MOSs can cover down an do things like this if there isn't enough of one type of Unit. It's rare to see it, but the Army Band Units actually perform Rear Area Security to supplement the MPs and other specifically assigned units.

[@chevy3654]

Mr. K.I.S.S MPs and Combat Engineers never do recon! What a joke. Especially in theater that would be a huge mistake. Do not confuse some bum ass route Clearance mission for a true recon mission conducted by scouts. Just stop.

[@mr.k.i.s.s7496]

@@chevy3654 I never said that. But we did roll across the berm without Cav Scouts in front of us. Mike Papas don't roll as a part of a Battalion. Normally act in Squad size. But, there were plenty of MPs who took direct and indirect fire in Indian country, and there were no Grunts or Scouts to come save us.

[@ivogarner4146]

Great video! Which job is more sophisticated? I scored a 97 on my Picat and I am thinking of enlisting with a 19D contract, but it seems that Cavalry Scouts and Infantry are both over saturated MOS's and tend to attract dumber people. I want to do something very physical and I want to be in the field, but ideally I want to do something that uses my mind/problem solving skills. Which MOS between these two fits me better? Anything helps

I would say 19D if you had to pick between the two.

[@robertdredden5474]

I’m a prior service marine 0331 going into the Army as a E5. My two options are 11B or 19D that they gave me. Why do they say cavalry scouts are called Girl Scouts ? My counselor said 19D was like the recon in the Marines which are very well respected. Scouts are pretty much a FO right ?

[@khabibarmageddon7743]

Man, I really hope you didn't become a 19D. They are not like Recon in the Corp. Scouts also aren't FOs, barely any can even do a CFF mission. 19D's are dudes that wanted to become Infantry that got lied to by their recruiter and got stuck with an MOS that isn't supposed to fight, and when they do it's usually because they didn't do their job right and wanted to be like us.

You guys are great. Excellent advice for anything really if you kind of generalize it. Be open to new learning. Learn as quickly as you can. Remember what you’re told. Be flexible. Take direction. Don’t be too cocky. This all really applies to any trainee in a new job. Medic sounds like a cool job, but I’m not good with blood and body type stuff. So maybe scout. Then infantry. (Sorry guy on the right; you were very cool. Nothing personal.) Of course I just turned 55, so it’s pretty much all academic now.

I'm an FO, might be switching to 19D here in a year, but for anyone wanting to get into a Combat MOS. LEARN how to Read a Map. learn how to plot of Point. and get a Direction. That's the first thing you should know coming out of AIT/OSUT Being a 13F is not bad Either you work a lot with Infantry and Cav Scouts.

[@SGobuck]

I don't know how it is today, but when I was a scout, we pulled double duty as FOs, most learned how to read a map without GPS and use a compass, etc. It's a helluva lot easier to call for indirect fire than to try and take on a division with only a squad.

If you're aspirations lean towards a future w/special operations: ranger battalion or S.F. Group, you'll want to go Infantry cause Ranger Battalions don't accept Cavalry Scouts and Infantry will prepare you more w/skills applicable to getting into S.F. Group. If you have zero aspirations to climb the ladder & move on to Special Operations than both Cavalry Scout & Infantry are rewarding careers. (Former: 5th Plt. Dco. 3/327th Inf.

If you have aspirations to go to SOF,just enlist 18 series or just about any MOS that is in the 75 Ranger Rgt. Scouts are not in the Rgt,because theres no need for an Armored Reconnaissance plt.

[@TheBenAllen.]

Hunter Myers we don’t hate them lol it’s just there are just better MOSs

[@sergioglispie1511]

Its hilarious that people think scouts don't kick doors. That's all we did in Iraq. You guys are funny.

I'm a retired 19D served for 30 years from E1 to E8 all I have to say is NO one ever said "we need help please send the infantry", all through history it is the Cavalry saves the day. Just saying

[@d3snappy621]

Lol infantry is always on the front line of the fight can't say that about the calvary most of them are just wannabe infantry dudes

[@ssostepper]

@@d3snappy621 sorry I know Scouts arnt on the front line, that's because we are behind the front lines telling you where to go.

I was 11C and was used as 11B 95% of the time on deployments.... we are Infantry + so I have my biases towards Infantry, but my older brother was an 19D Cav Scout. Both are grunts, not POG's so we are debating to two similar standards. I do feel like the corporal represented Infantry extremely well with his attitude.... Guys, this is how they are in the Infantry. On the other hand I don't have much experience with Cav Scouts (19D) but feel like it wasn't fair that the SPC wasn't acting grunt enough. I think this is just an individual personality thing. You will find personality differences in every MOS, but expect the Infantry in general to be jocks.

Grunt is so derogatory man, Scouts especially are actually quite highly trained

@@liamh6225 what ive never heard a grunt say he was offended by being called a grunt

[@khabibarmageddon7743]

19Ds are POGs and are not grunts. They may be combat arms, but they aren't grunts.

[@khabibarmageddon7743]

@@liamh6225 Shut up, grunt isn't derogatory. Either way, Scouts aren't highly trained, they have a shorter OSUT than Infantry.

I’m in a infantry scout platoon (not the same as cav scouts)

Cav and Infantry have such a big rivalry and they basically do the same shit.

uh.. nope.

@@camsnyder2636 They don't do the same shit. CAV is recon and has dedicated air assets.
