Calling all infantry: What are/were your favorite assignments while serving as an 11B?

My favorite assignment was III Corps LRS (disbanded) at Fort Hood.

My favorite unit is A CO, 2-9 Infantry (Manchu).

GO BIG, or GO Home.

If I could start all over again as a young E-4, and the advice I give my High school students: 75th Ranger, 82nd, and 101st in order of preference.

Here is why: Infantry is all about the Brotherhood. Those are the three loudest groups of brothers.

The best unit in the Army is where you came from. With that said, AATW!

I will say mine was at Forth Bragg. I was with F co, 51st Infantry. It is a Long Range Surveillance Company. There are only three in the Army. They are pretty hard to get into. But there you can get any school under the sun. They have diver, halo, pathfinder and then some. But you pretty much have among the best to be there. It is an all volunteer unit and if you don't perform they will give you the boot.

Well I got hurt in jump school t Ft. Benning Ga. Stayed in the hospital for 157 days. After that I was sent to Ft. Riley KS. When I got there they told me to be at formation in the morning. Well I was there. They started Pt. And I just stood there because after 14 broke bones and 4 surgeries. I couldn't do it. So I showed them my profile. No running, jumping,stooping or riding a tactical vehicle. So I was sent to S-1 Nat headquarters. Wher they used me to get someone out of a detail. They would send me and I'd show the profile. So they would send me back to S-1. And they would say well we sent them what they ask. That went on for a little while. Then I was sent to William Ogden for Rec. Services. I was in charge of moon lake. Where you Wasn't allowed to swim. But I rented out boats and made sure everyone had there life jackets on. That was nice till it got cold. Then back to S-1 for the to be used again. I had supposed to have died 4 times at Ft. Benning Martin Army Hospital. The even had my dress greens ready to bury me in. But the supply Sgt. Said he had to take the wings back because I got hurt on my second jump. Well I went p the hospital at Ft. Riley and told them. This wasn't what I signed up for. If you're not going to let me do anything. Why don't you just send me home. And the Medical Board gave me a discharge T.D.R.L. temporary disability discharge. After a year I went to Ft. Bragg and they made it a Permanent Disability Retirement Discharge. But what was so bad was it took me 3 tires to pass the intry exam. To get in the Army. And I had plains to make a career out of it. I didn't try that hard in school and dried out. Because I didn't think it wood matter so much. So when I did get home I went and got my Good enough diploma. Now I have 2 prosthetic hips. There wanting to do both knees. Got sacrita, spinel stenosis and spondylitis. So even if I didn't get to do what I had planned I have sure built my time with chronic pain. But I have owned my own Corp. At 1 time. So that's my Army carrier. Around 18 months total.

Vicenza Italy, with the 173rd Airborne was the best job I ever had with the Infantry, and love the unit and it's members to this day.

Depends. There are a lot more promotion opportunities as a Bravo but at some point in time, you will have to know both positions to make a good senior NCO. As for the post, Campbell is always a good post.

How motivated are you? Have you considered 18X?
