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.

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

Fucking grunts think they are superior, I doubt you have the GT, GM scores to qualify as a 12B. I suggest you move on and promote yourself to full civilian. You obviously have no idea the role we Engineers have in combined arms operations. Before the infantry enter an area it first gets a recon and breaching operations by the Engineers.
