To go off of my last question many of you helped me with, they gave the top 10 soldiers for the prior service guys the opportunity to get shipped if we went 11C, i volunteered just to get out of here quicker. I've been told i could switch to 11B once i get to my duty station by putting in a 4187 packet. Is it really that easy ? Also do 11C get slots a lot of slots for airborne ? i want to go airborne as well.

Can I just say, slow down young man. You may even like being a mortar man. A little 11C time will make you a better platoon sargeant when that time comes. I’m sure you’ll be a great infantry man no matter what you decide.

Ah the wonderous Form 4187, which carries absolutely no weight whatsoever if submitted by a Soldier of low rank. Eventually, they will get tired of the 4187 submissions and let your 1SG know your submitting extraneous paperwork in which case you will be told to stop. At any rate, to answer your question 11C's are taught everything a 11B is taught. So it is just a matter of waiting for the inevitable oversupply of 11C's and shortage of 11B's. The pendulum seems to always swing both ways. Then ask your 1SG if you can switch officially in your records.

Stay as you are, learn that equipment as your life depended on it, because in war time many will depend on you. 11B is not what you think it is. You can Go from a 11b to a 11c in a heart beat. It all depends where they need you the most, in other words Fill a gap. First ask yourself why am I in a hurry, and for what. Are you looking for Raise in pay, rank, location, etc. if so then take you time. It's like buying a new home you don't want to rush in and buy anything and later you are not satisfied with what you purchase. 11B is not a MOS everybody wants to be. In time of War that's one thing many wish they were not. Don't do it for the glory, it's not that great. Be proud just being a United States Soldier. the rest will come. Believe me I know I was a 11B 68-69-70 Vietnam.
