MOS 12C Bridge Crewmember

[@owen98682]

I didnt see a single saw or hammer in AIT when I joined lol. It was all about weapons, demo and the bridges itself.

[@Who2Rawww]

So basically combat engineer but with less combat stuff ?

I remember helping 12C build a bridge before, that was very stressful and laborious. I couldn't imagine what it would be like to have to build a bridge under enemy fire.

They would use 12b to cover them the whole time 😎

@@MUSIC10.7 depends on most (your job), how many years of your life you're willing to sacrifice, the component you join (active, guard, reserve, etc), when you join (sometimes time of year effects, usually october is good), if you're a citizen of the U.S. etc
