11b to 12b? I want to try something new but I'm afraid it will be lame once I get in an engineer unit.

Any thoughts or interesting experiences would be helpful. I'm just trying to decide if it would be worth it to remove my blue chord.

My first unit I was the S2 in a combat en bn. Those guys were awesome (most of them). They loved blowing shit up. They didn't much care for the route clearance during the two deployments I was there for. I can't blame them - it's mind numbingly boring when you don't find anything and you have to drive sooo slow. But whenever they got to do demo ranges or anything with explosive - like kids in a candy store.
Honestly at this point - that was the best unit I've been in. It felt more like family than any unit I've been in and I still talk to a lot of people (engineers and other MOSs) that were there.

I was a 12B. Being paid to blow things up and......OHHH YEAAAHHH!!!
But every unit is what you make it. Honestly, there were times being a 12B sucked, but the great times far outweighed the suck times. Just, as I'm sure, is the same for the Infantry.

I agree as an 11B there was somethings that sucked, but you were trained to embrace the suck. I made lifelong brothers that would have my back no matter what I understand that exists military wide but when the shit hits the fan as Infantry it has a lot deeper meaning.
I told my son that Infantry was the best job simply because you go hiking camping and get to blow shit up, which takes on a whole new meaning during combat but in my opinion it's still the best job I ever had.

12b is like Infantry only with explosives and big assed route clearance vehicles. Try it....You'll like it!

12B, the only MOS with a lower life expectancy than 11B. :D At least when I was in.
