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

That is an intensely personal decision for yourself.
I will say, being a 12B for four of my six years in, were so.e of the best years if my life. The camaraderie is second to none, as I imagine it is in all combat MOS', and of course, using Comp4 and TNT and frequent grenade qualifications were always a good day. And, even though exausting, pounding pickets- lots and lots of pickets-- were also good days. Plus! All the cross training with the various other Engineering MOS' was a boon getting to drive and operate all the machines and vehicles... I'm getting a Freedom Boner just thinking about it all... Good times- Good Training, Hooah!
Whatever you choose, good luck to you.

There is nothing at all lame about 12B, it's all the fun of infinity but with a lot more explosions, lol

Go 12B light, Sapper unit, and you'll still get all the gruntin you desire. As a rule, 12B sqd or fire team attached to 11B platoon or sqd.

Its essentially the same job except as an engineer u will become proficient in explosives. Same kind of traing details, rotations ect. Most of my first deployments I was actually attached to and infantry unit. We are kinda like the red headed step children that drink and fight alot lol! If u enjoy the 11b side come to 12b and add a skillset!

Both mos's are similar. 12B requires a bit more out of you. But opens doors for employment in the civilian world

I would say keep one major thing in mind. You are now a salesman and therefore a SME. When working with Cav or infantry know all your roles and parts and sell them on the necessity of whatever your element is doing (Breaching, Route clearance etc). That's something I live by at work hopefully it helps.
