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

ESSAYONS!

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

Build em up and blow em down. Never sleep and seldom lie down

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.

Let us try!

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

12B

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.

Honestly a COMBAT ENGINEER is the best MOS in the engineer core because we can do the engineer jobs but they cant do ours so you will work with 12N and the other 12 series you will learn a lot and need to stay current and like most people said every MOS has its ups amd downs but this MOS gets paid to blow shit up

I don't ouldnt ask for any other job. If I started all over, I'd pick 12B in heartbeat. I almost joined as a 13F

If you like to blow shit up then you'll enjoy it. Most of the guys in my platoon came over from being 11bs and they're enjoying the new POG life

I'm not even trying to mos bash or anything. Either way I'm in the guard and it's just a part time gig anyway. But 12b is one of those jobs I've always had interest in but I'm worried it won't be as cool as people tell me it is.
